Manasalu best trip ever
The trip exceeded my already high expectations , really a once in a life time trip, I couldn't recommend more. Flew out by myself to join 10 others on the trip lead by our guides Prem Bdr tamang , sherpas ; we had an incredibly easy journey on our 16.5 day trip. The nepalese hospitality is second nature and seeming unparalleled, with everyone from our guides to people along the way going above and beyond to make sure we were well and good. The actual hiking was spread out well with it being challenging but not overwhelming, especially giving plenty of time to acclimatise with any altitude. The scenery is unmatched, providing the only issue while walking that you have to stop every ten steps to take another photo. If you're thinking about it, do it

Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek with Professional Support
Our Everest Base Camp Trek turned out to be even more adventurous than we expected. When our Lukla flight was canceled due to weather, Pasang Sherpa clearly explained every option and helped keep our Everest dream on track. Without the organization and quick action of Sole Encounters Adventures, we likely would not have made it.
Sunil and the team went above and beyond, arranging alternative plans, long scenic hikes, cozy teahouse stays, and delicious local meals. The mountain views changed daily and were absolutely breathtaking. Evenings were filled with laughter and fun moments. Highly recommended for anyone searching for a reliable and professional Everest Base Camp trekking company in Nepal.
