Description
This 17-day trek around the Manaslu Circuit in Nepal has been taking peoples breath away for years, and I will guide you as we see and experience the best this region has to offer, from the myriad of forests, rivers, glaciers, fields and waterfalls that surround us, to the traditional villages and communities of the local people, and of course the towering and majestic mountain of Manaslu itself.
The mountain of Manaslu, located in the Nepalese Himalayas, stands at 8,163m tall, making it the eighth-highest mountain in the world. It is an immensely popular trekking and mountaineering spot, with many keen to tick it off their bucket-list.
We begin our trip in Kathmandu, where we spend the first 2 days sightseeing and preparing for the trip.
Over the subsequent 15 days there will be plentiful hiking and cultural experiences, with an action-packed agenda every day.
Some of the highlights include traipsing and travailing around the mighty Budhi Gandaki River, the Larkya La Pass, a large number of impressive glaciers, and several excellent vantage points of Manaslu.
There will be plenty of time to learn about, discover and explore the local Gurung culture of the people that inhabit this area, with many villages, communities and monasteries littering the landscape, each with a rich, fascinating and interesting history.
The landscape, scenery and terrain that we encounter in Nepal consistently manages to make jaws drop, and it will seem like everywhere we look there is a magnificent or lovely piece of raw natural beauty to admire.
We finish our trip back in Kathmandu, hopefully with heads full of superb memories and hearts full of love for this incredible place.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
