I recently got back from doing the Manaslu circuit trek with Himalaya Magic Treks and can't recommend them enough. It's a family run business and they really do all they can to make you feel as welcome as possible, looking after you every step of the way. Everything was taken care of from the second you landed until departure. For anyone looking into trekking in the Himalayas look no further than HMT. Special thanks to Sitaram, Nabin & Bom for making me so welcome.

It was our first trek with a guide but Dendi really did an amazing job. From helping us translate and with the food to feeling welcome in the towns along the path getting to know the people, Dendi really did everything perfect.Not a week goes by where we’re not remembering and talking about our trip. It’s an experience for life and we will definitely choose Himalayan Magic Trek, Nabin and Dendi again
