A perfect day tailored just for us We had the most wonderful day with Sandip walking up from McCleodGanj and over the top and down into his own village where his mother most kindly made us a cup of tea in their family hut over a fire. We also saw a wedding party procession near a river. Sandip also took us past a dedicated prayer flag area in the woods. We saw the start of rhodendrons beginning to flower. A perfect day.

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.

**Triund Trek with Manu Adventures** We recently embarked on the Triund trek, organized by Manu Adventures, and it was an experience to remember. The trek, led by Rajat, was a moderate one, perfectly suited for both seasoned trekkers and beginners. The breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range and the well-maintained trail made the journey enjoyable and rewarding. Manu Adventures did a commendable job in organizing the trek, ensuring that all basic amenities were taken care of. The stay was at a picturesque location, offering a comfortable and restful night . Rajat's leadership and knowledge of the terrain added an extra layer of safety and enjoyment to the trek. Overall, it was a well-organized trek, by Manu Adventures.

Could not fault this experience it's by far the best thing I've done in India so far. It was a good hike to Indraha pass, tough at times and demanded some good fitness and good mental fortitude. Manu was exceptional with the service he provided and how fast I was able to get a slot to go hiking (the next day). I did the 3 night 4 day package and that included a solid breakfast, packed lunch and cooked hot dinner in the evenings. My guide Shivam was a top bloke, very very good guide and hiker and felt incredibly safe when hiking some difficult passes with him. Always attentive and an all round top bloke. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Don't hesitate in booking onto this.
