From booking to completion, Explore Holiday Nepal was professional and responsive. The Manaslu Tsum Valley Budget Trek balanced physical challenge with cultural richness beautifully. We visited remote villages that see few outsiders, learned about traditional practices, and witnessed mountain scenery that rivals anywhere in Nepal. Budget pricing allowed me to extend my stay and explore Kathmandu afterward. Highly recommended for authentic Himalayan experience.

Explore Holiday Nepal's team created a memorable journey through Manaslu and Tsum Valley. The spiritual atmosphere in upper villages was profound—prayer flags, chanting monks, centuries-old gompas. I felt connected to something larger than myself. Budget doesn't mean inferior—our guide was experienced, safety equipment was provided, and the route was well-planned. Teahouses offered hearty meals and genuine hospitality. The mountain views, especially from Samdo and near base camp, were stunning. Excellent organization and wonderful value for money.

After researching multiple companies, I chose Explore Holiday Nepal for their transparency and fair pricing. The Manaslu Tsum Valley Budget Trek exceeded all expectations. Yes, the teahouses are basic—shared bathrooms, cold mornings—but that's part of the adventure. What matters is the incredible mountain scenery, the spiritual atmosphere of Tsum Valley, and the kindness of local people. Our guide Norbu was knowledgeable and safety-conscious. The Larkya La crossing was challenging but manageable with proper pacing. I appreciated that this company employs local staff and supports community teahouses directly. The budget approach doesn't mean cheap quality—it means smart choices that benefit local communities while keeping costs reasonable for trekkers.
