   3 friends & Triund overnight trek
Great exercise, fresh air and beautiful trek. Started out in town, ascended up the hill then eventually up the mountain. Mountain Ponies carried all the gear while we had light backpacks! Excellent tour guide host Manu. Participants Need to be physically prepared even for the Triund trek. Overnight stay in tent was excellent temperature very cold though we did our homework and kept warm. Food, company & experience to a great evel highly recommended to others .

   Amazing First Time Trek
Had the most amazing time. As it was my first time trekking, I was apprehensive about many things. But the Manu adventures made sure I didn’t have anything to worry about. The tour guide was competent and allowed us to trek at our pace. The camping location was beautiful and the host was amazing. The food was great too.

   Amazing experience
We had an amazing time trekking to laka glacier! Manu was a great guide, he's a lot of fun and has so much knowledge about the area. Playing cricket at 3300metres was a highlight! Ranu's campsite was really lovely, incredible views and tasty, hearty food! Both Manu and Ranu took really good care of us and we'd really reccomend trekking with them, it's great value for money as well.

   Trustworthy and Excellent
Excellent experience. Vaishalee from Manu adventures has been super helpful in planning our stay in Dharamshala. Suraj was our guide who was brilliant. I was traveling with my 9 year old and he was extremely patient and helped us cover the trek. Very reliable and trustworthy worthy company. They also helped me choose a very good hotel within the main city. Thank you Manu Adventures you really made my stay here memorable.

   The most amazing experience doing the Dalai Lama trek in the Himalayans with Manu and his team.
Wow what a sensational adventure with Manu Adventures. My friend and I searched for a unique trip after being disappointed that our Kilimanjaro trip had been cancelled due to covid 3 years ago with a different company. We searched for something unique and different and challenging and this is what we got with the Dalai Lama Trek in the Himalayas including Delhi and Agra. Manu is truly a saint and a hero to all that meet him. He is so encouraging and has an amazing team that produce some spectacular food, and transport all the camping gear and bags to each camp site high in the Himalayas. We managed to achieve what we thought was possibly unachievable and had the time of our lives and met some inspiring women on this trek team. I highly recommend Manu Adventures and his fantastic team to enable you to achieve anything and everything. And wise words daily from Manu was always “expect the unexpected”😘. Jelo Jelo😂

   Dalai Lama Trek
I have just finished the Dalai Lama Trek with Manu adventures and what can I say it was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. From the organisation of the trip, to the food, the experiences and adventures I’ve had will stay with me forever, I have done so much in the 10 days. I will leave a piece of my heart with Manu and India, it’s a beautiful country.
