My wife and I undertook the Manaslu circuit trek with Sitaram in March 2024. I cannot overstate how wonderful the whole experience was. Sitaram explained everything clearly via WhatsApp before we arrived including a detailed itinerary and the cost, all the while making sure our needs were met. Upon arrival at Kathmandu he met us at the hotel to finalise everything. He recommended one porter and we were immediately grateful for this advice after the first big day! The young guy he hired was fun to be around and always had a smile for us after a long day, not to mention running ahead to pre-order a Dahl Bhat Set! The trek went without a hitch. Sitaram was able to judge our wants very quickly and often found us little eateries and hotels away from the large groups. He was also sensitive about our limited budget and made sure we weren’t put into a position to pay too much. He was caring, informative and very professional with a keen eye for detail. We sailed over the Larke pass in what was the culmination of a perfect trek. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
