Nervous about altitude and fitness, but Explore Holiday Nepal's team put me at ease from day one. The itinerary allowed proper acclimatization, and they monitored everyone carefully. Tsum Valley's monasteries were breathtaking, especially Mu Gompa. The budget option meant I could afford this dream trek sooner than planned. Food was repetitive but hearty, and the dal bhat really does give you energy! Our porter crew worked incredibly hard. Manaslu's views from base camp left me speechless. Highly recommend this company for genuine Himalayan trekking.
Review for 17 days Manaslu Tsum Valley Budget Trek
I wanted an affordable trek that wasn't overrun with tourists, and Explore Holiday Nepal made it happen. The Tsum Valley felt like stepping back in time—remote villages, prayer wheels everywhere, and monks who actually wanted to talk with us. The budget accommodations were simple but perfectly adequate. I appreciated that we stayed in family-run teahouses because it felt more genuine than fancy lodges. Our guide was patient with my slower pace and shared so much knowledge about Buddhism and local traditions. The entire team treated us with respect and warmth. If you're looking for value without sacrificing the authentic mountain experience, this is it.

Explore Holiday Nepal delivered beyond expectations. The Manaslu Tsum Valley route was less crowded than Annapurna, which made it special. Our guide Pemba knew every monastery and shared stories that brought the culture alive. Teahouses were basic but clean, and the hosts were incredibly kind. The Larkya La pass was tough but worth every step. For budget trekking, this company provided excellent value without cutting corners on safety or experience.
