EXCELLENT668 reviewsdhananjayan krishnamoorthy8 August 2024**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.Ranjit Kaur25 July 2024Best company in IndiaEddie Smith27 June 2024Could 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.Subash Anchalose21 June 2024Excellent service.
