The Manislu trek is superb. It’s more challenging than any trek I’ve ever done, but offers views and an appreciation of Himalaya that must not be missed.
Radiant treks brought this all seamlessly and thoughtfully to our group of 4 women mostly in their 60’s, and one man. The porters were consistently supportive, friendly, cheerful and uncomplaining of their bag loads. Gokarna, the MD of Radiant, led the trek and advised, encouraged, explained and gave us an understanding of what was required right from booking through to end of trek. The pre-organisation was efficient, reliable and informative, with responses usually within an hour. Along the way we had updates along with the chance to hear about the peoples, politics and geography of the area. There was not a mountain that Gokarna could not name. He was truly impressive whilst having a great sense of humour and fun.
I would encourage anyone considering a trek to choose Radiant Treks and Manislu as a still uncrowded unspoilt trek - although there are also many others on offer which I hope to return to.
I do not believe there is a better experience on offer.
