Awesome multi-day hiking!🥾 - Had a fantastic trip to Nepal, hiking the Manaslu circuit. Organised excellently by Karna from Motherhouse. Great communication. From there we were led by our fantastic guide, Sabut. We felt safe and it was great to have all of our needs already sorted. Would highly recommend. Thanks team!

The best trek of my life: the Manaslu Trek - I did the Manaslu Trek from March 12th to March 22nd and it was by far the best trekking experience of my life and I can’t recommend this enough for how good it was. For this trek I had an incredible guide Sabut and a porter Kishor which did everything possible to make my trip unforgettable. The organization was perfect, from the meeting pre departure to every details during the trek and after finishing. They always prioritize me and make sure I was having the time of my life. The Manaslu trek is incredible and we were very lucky to have amazing weather conditions. Sabut always made sure to explain the plan for the day after and the following days and also gave me the freedom to make decisions on when and which things to do. I also always had a private room which was amazing. Finally since I am a photographer I always had the time to stop and take photos and I never felt rushed in any way which was exactly what I was looking for. Overall I think the company did an outstanding job, Sabut the guide was knowledgeable and extremely nice and I will recommend them to anyone who wants to do this trek!

Manaslu Circuit - Jayaram, Kishor and Ganesh made this trek such an incredible experience for all of us! They approached everyday with such an uplifting and joyous attitude, making the trek so much more enjoyable. On top of being observant and guiding us through safely, all of us managed to create such a great bond with each other. We could not have asked for a better team to guide us!

One of the greatest experiences of my life - Karna was extremely friendly and professional throughout our entire trip in Nepal. He made the entire process so seamless and easy for me and my group. Jaya is an incredibly funny and knowledgeable guide - always laughing, dancing and singing along the trek. Kishor and Ganesh never failed to impress us with their speed and strength while carrying over 20kg on their backs. Both porters were always so quick to help the second they spotted any of struggling with anything. Despite only knowing the crew for less than two weeks, we all built such a strong bond together and felt like a family in the end 🫶 I cannot recommend Nepal Mother House enough!

MANASLU CIRCUIT - We had the adventure of a lifetime trekking the Manaslu circuit. Jayaran, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable of the region. And his charasmastic and supportive spirit made the entire trek fun and exciting. Our porters; Kishore & Ganesh were incredibly deligent, yet a joy to spent time with too.

Incredible Trek by Nepal Mother House. - Incredible trek led by Karna, Jay, Kishor and Ganesh. Everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful and ensured our health and safety every step of the way. We are so fortunate to experience this trek led by this team. They spent the first day with us to help us with our permits, gear and debrief us on the days ahead - this was incredibly helpful. We had so much fun as a group as well - happy spirited and uplifting energy from this company! 100% recommend to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal.

Great experience during 19-day Manaslu trek with side trips! - Karna Rana was very professional during the booking and preparation. The guide Sabut and his cousin porter Ganesh were very kind, easygoing and knowledgeable. They were friendly with hotel owners and I felt included when eating with them in the kitchen. Although the mountains were often cloudy in the afternoons, we had good views during mornings and only two days of light rain among the 19 days of the trek. I really enjoyed the side trips to Serang Gompa, Kal Tal, Hinang Gompa and Pungyen Gompa. I had heard of Milarepa caves in Samagaon, and Sabut, with the help of local villagers, was able to find them. Very recommended guide, porter and trekking agency!

The Best trekkking experience of my life - I would highly recommend Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition. Our Manaslu circuit trip was handled amazingly from the start to finish. They took great care of us making sure we arrived to and forth Kathmandu and the airport. The trip itself was managed by an excellent guide who kept us informed about what we would expect along the journey and made sure we were fed, happy, and comfortable along the whole journey. This trek would have been daunting without him. We also hired some porters to help us carry extra luggage along the way: Their upbeat nature and helpful attitude never stopped. They made sure we were comfortable as much as they could whilst carrying most of our weight. If you want to do a trek with an experienced group of hard-working, friendly and hospitable team then you must choose Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition. I promise on the mountain you will be thankful to have such a fantastic team with you!

Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek - The communication with the office was always smooth and everything was well organized. I really enjoyed my trek of the Manaslu circuit and Tsum valley with Pasang. He is an excellent mountain guide, funny, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. There was also so much wildlife he spotted which I would have never seen without him. During the trek, he proposed to adapt the route according to the weather, which was not always the best. This turned out to be exactly right and a sensible choice. In addition, he is a great ambassador for Nepali culture and explained so much about the different cultures, languages, foods and traditions we encountered on our way. Here it helped that he speaks so many local languages, that allowed him to translate between the locals (not always speaking Nepali) and me. All the best and thank you so much, Pasang!!

Great Himalayan adventure - Absolutely fantastic from start to finish: crazy bumpy ride in jeep, subtropical vegetation in the lower parts, bath in ice cold stream, waterfalls, hanging bridges, teahouses, snow covered peaks, a hint of the altitude sickness, just enough to tell you you're halfway between the sea level and the 8000ers' summits, herds of yaks, a match of football with Nepali porters on the stone courtyard of the school in Shyala, stars and sunrise during ascent to the Larke Pass. And Bom - a great guide. Bom, thank you, it was a great trek. Looking forward to walking with you again.
