Manaslu/Tsum - the perfect guiding company!
From the first interaction we were happy with this company. There was prompt and professional email contact. When we arrived, everything ran smoothly. This is a trustworthy company and we had no issues with payments, costs, or hidden fees. Guides are from Manaslu area (we had Roshan who was SPECTACULAR) so are experts here as well as in other treks of Nepal. He knew all the good spots to stay, and kept us motivated on the long days. Certainly I recommend this company for all, and will be contacting them on my next trip to Nepal!

14 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek
Roshan is a remarkable guide who brings professionalism with an easy-going nature. Despite our trek facing setbacks out of our control (e.g. weather-related), Roshan was able to adapt quickly and ensure the best experience for us all. He is also a generally great person to spend 14 days trekking with. - Jack, Pip, Rory, and Patrick

Wonderful Experience
In December 2023, We completed the Manaslu Circuit trek with Touch The Himalaya. Madan, the owner, was the best company for Us, offering the cheapest price and free gearsand poles. The trek was magnificent, quiet, and less explored. Roshan, the guide, was experienced, kind, and considerate, taking us to the best teahouses and restaurants. Our porter Ramesh was also kind. The scenery was vast, and the trek was not as challenging as expected. Highly recommended for booking with Touch The Himalaya with Madan and Guide as Mr. Roshan.

We did the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Roshan and it was absolutely phenomenal.
We did the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Roshan and it was absolutely phenomenal. Roshan, Madan, and the team were incredibly helpful in making sure we had everything we needed in Kathmandu, answered any questions, arranged a flawless itinerary and made sure it all went smoothly. Roshan's english was perfect and was a great guy to spend 2 weeks with, being incredibly knowledgeable about the mountains. Our porters Arjun, Sanjay and Patrick were very good and a welcome part of the team. Would highly recommend anyone wanting to do Annapurna or Manaslu to check out Touch The Himalaya!

Myself and two friends recently completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Roshan as our guide.
Myself and two friends recently completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Roshan as our guide. Rohan’s professionalism and light hearted nature was a perfect addition to the trip, ensuring we got to all destinations safely and with smiles on our faces. Stand out moments include the trek we did up to Ice Lake, and of course Throngla Pass on the final day. I strongly recommend Roshan as a guide for any trek across the Himalayas, and have full confidence he will be able to support all trekkers of various skill/ability in reaching their destination safely. All the best mate 🏔️🇳🇵 Thanks again, PATRICCCCIIMMMOOOO
