Excellent trek to Manaslu on April, 2025 (12 days) Very good local management by Outdoor Himalayan Treks; Reliable at all times. Manager (Badri), guide & porters handsome and helpfull

Planning new trip one of the key factor for me is a flexibility and readiness for different scenario of local agent. With Badri's company “Outdoor Himalayan Treks” everything was easy from the begging. Easy end friendly contact, openness for suggestions (caused by my time limitations). The trek itself was organised in very professional way. Starting from landing in Kathmandu (where there was somebody waiting) till the moment when we said good bye to each other. The offered hotels both in Kathmandu and Pokhara had good standard and bus to/from Pokhara was just luxury (possible to sleep). Something to underline, during the trek, 3 times a day I was free to choose any meal from availbale menu. And most important! The guide Rumak and porter Procas – just fantastic people. I am glad and happy that I had a chance to spent with them this unforgettable days. The same I can say about Rajesh. The man who showed Kathmadu. Very knowledgeable man with a high skill of presenting history in interesting way. One day I will come back to Nepal, and if the reason will be a trek, than the of-course with Outdoor Himalayan Treks guided by Rupak and Procas help!

Review for Rupak – An Unforgettable Annapurna Circuit Experience The Annapurna Circuit was a trip of a lifetime. A connection through work connected me with Rupak, and his impressive reputation was quickly evident. With over 12 years of experience guiding through the Himalayas, Rupak not only ensured my safety throughout our 12-day Annapurna Circuit trek but also enriched the journey with his deep insights into Nepali culture and history. Rupak knew the Annapurna Circuit by heart, easily identifying every peak along the trek. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Rupak handpicked guesthouses with the warmest hosts and chose the best local restaurants, ensuring every meal was perfect. The daal baat, the handmade momos, yak cheese pizza, wood-fired skewers - were excellent. He also selected Prakash as our porter - who was so positive and energetic to be around. Rupak’s expertise and attentive care—providing extra blankets, hot drinks, medication for the high-altitude challenges—were very thoughtful. When high winds forced us to alter our original plan by replacing Tilicho Lake with a scenic detour to Poon Hill, Rupak’s flexibility and local expertise shone through, turning a challenge into yet another memorable highlight. The package itself was all-inclusive—private guide, porter, permits, transportation, and accommodation—all offered at a very reasonable price. Because I was on a private tour, every element was tailored to my interests, making the experience uniquely personal. Beyond the trek, Rupak and the team, including Badri and Prakash, were exceptional in their responsiveness—assisting with flight arrangements, airport pickups, trekking insurance, and even offering travel recommendations for after the trek. As a personal bonus, Rupak took the time to show me around Pokhara and Kathmandu, leaving me with unforgettable memories of Nepal. Thank you for making the experience amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend Rupak for anyone considering a trek on the Annapurna Circuit. Whether you're traveling solo or in a small group, his personalized approach and genuine care make for an adventure that is truly the trip of a lifetime.
