    It’s a trek with many scenarios, not totally a breeze for an older female trekker like me. With the expertise of Nepal Lion Trekking Co. , the trek was fine and smooth. Easy payment transaction process, good communication in every step, a plansant trekking experience.

    My bucket list item is now crossed off! Highly recommend booking with Nepal Lions tours. Shiva was professional from the get-go and answered all of my questions promptly. The assigned guide and porter were extremely supportive and I felt like I was in safe hands. The trek itself was incredible. The Manaslu region was diverse in climates (warm, dry valleys - to lush rainforest - to snow capped peaks) and there was a tonne of wildlife to see and experience. Definitely more affordable than other companies but still got the 5 star treatment.

    We had the most wonderful experience, each day exceeding our already high expectations. "Nepal Number One Guide" Bishnu and "Strong Man" Rajendra our porter provided professional and personable care. Bishnu, with his warm smile and genuine manner endeared himself to us managing all of our needs and adjustment to altitude, but tirelessly helped other trekkers with explaining menu items, operating showers and even finding their guide. Rajendra carried our bag with apparent ease and good humour. He was also attentive to our trips and stumbles, righting us on our feet without any injury. We walked late October 2022, with clear skies, stunning views, cool morning and evening but comfortable walking each day. Cold or hot showers at the end of each day (except at Darmasala) were an unexpected bonus. We were aware of the warmth and respect our guide was greeted with at each guesthouse, often resulting in us being provided the best room or best view. Shiva, Managing Director of Nepal Lion Tours answered all of our many emails and questions promptly and professionally, giving us confidence and trust before our big adventure.

    Had an amazing trek with Lion Tours and guide Binod. Any time I had an issue they had the solution. They also kept it adaptable to what I wanted to do each day. The trek is stunning but the team, and particularly Binod the guide, really made it special. Can't wait to come back for another trek.
