What our Adventurers say

Salome Courapied - France

Annapurna Base camp trek

Salome Courapied
J’ai eu la chance d’être accompagné par Man Kumar pour le trek du camp de base des Annapurnas, et c’est sans aucun doute le meilleur guide que j’ai eu. Il est incroyablement professionnel, toujours attentif à notre sécurité, bienveillant, à l’écoute et aux petits soins du début à la fin. Grâce à lui, cette aventure a été encore plus mémorable. Si je reviens un jour au Népal, ce sera pour faire tous mes treks avec lui. Je le recommande les yeux fermés. Merci infiniment pour tout !

We just experienced an incredible sporting, spiritual and human adventure! We were three French friends (two men and one woman, all around 30 years old) who came to do the full Annapurna Circuit. The founder of the agency, Man Kumar, was our guide from start to finish. He spent months talking to us to answer our questions and prepare us. He took excellent care of us throughout the trek, tailored it to our abilities and desires, and shared anecdotes about Nepal along the way. We recommend him 300%! Go for it, you will experience an extraordinary adventure with an incredible person!

A superb trip with Man Kumar for a 10-day trek around the Annapurna range. In addition to providing excellent support for acclimatizing to the high altitude, Man Kumar also allowed us to discover Nepalese traditions and culture. We therefore wholeheartedly recommend this guide, who has become a friend!

Amazing trek in the Annapurnas in April 2025 with Man Kumar, who was a fantastic French-speaking guide. He knows the region extremely well and taught us a great deal about the local cultures, among other things. He was very attentive and adapted the itinerary to our needs. We highly recommend him!

Makalu Base Camap

Catherine and Benoit Guinet
We had an unforgettable experience in April-May 2026 with the Makalu Base Camp trek organized by Man Kumar Puri, founder of Trekking Nepal Pvt. Ltd. It felt like hiking at the ends of the earth in a very remote area of ​​the Himalayas, surrounded by pristine nature. While this trek is quite demanding, reaching the foot of the world's fifth highest peak (8,485 m) is breathtaking, and the climb the next day to Makalu Pattar offered unforgettable views of Makalu, Lhotse, and especially the Tibetan side of Everest! Man Kumar's excellent command of French and his constant kindness allowed us to have wonderful encounters with the Nepalese people throughout the trek. Returning to Kathmandu gave us a unique opportunity to share in the daily life of a Nepalese family with him. Many thanks again to Man Kumar's entire team, including the ever-attentive and cheerful porters Padam and Dil Kumar! Looking forward to our next trek with you!!!

Kanchanjunga Trek

herve herodet
Namaste friends, For my third trek with Man and his team (Lower Dolpo in 2022, the Tsum/Manaslu Valley in 2024), I set off in November 2025 for the Kanchenjunga and Jannu base camps. A truly wild and demanding trek. Unlike the two previous treks, we didn't pass through any villages, a bit like the GR20 in Corsica. It was a true immersion at the foot of magnificent mountains covered in snow and blue glaciers. Man accompanied us with his usual kindness, professionalism, and smile. Man is much more than a guide; he has become a friend with whom we exchange stories, in impeccable French, about our respective countries. He knows how to adapt the stages to each person's level and, depending on unforeseen circumstances (weather, trekkers' health, etc.), always offers a plan B that will satisfy everyone. His entire team is truly cohesive. Man knows how to instill in his porters, cooks, and assistants the spirit of a close-knit and readily available team, always ready to help. They all shower us with thoughtful touches (tea upon arrival, hot water for our water bottles, carrying our bags occasionally for the most tired trekkers, etc.). In short, I can only recommend that you travel with Man and his agency, Trekking Nepal Pvt Ltd; you're sure to come back completely satisfied. See you soon, Man, I'll be back in 2026. Hervé

Hello! We just spent five weeks in this beautiful country. We chose Trekking Nepal to do the Kanchenjunga circuit. What a joy! Mankumar, our guide, is simply incredible. He speaks impeccable French, and it was such a pleasure to hear him talk about his country, its culture, and its customs in the evenings. The kindness and attentiveness of the entire team, knowing how to adapt to everyone's level, always present during challenging moments, always a smile and a kind word of comfort in difficult times. Don't hesitate, it's just fantastic! Beautiful adventures to experience with professionals. Bravo to the whole team!

After four unforgettable treks in the Everest, Annapurna, and Kanchenjunga regions, I can confirm that trekking-Nepal is a fantastic French-speaking agency, both logistically and culturally. Mankumar manages the acclimatization and safety of the groups perfectly. Highly recommended.

Kanchanjunga Trek

Denis Besnard
Namaste from Nepal, in this welcoming country, with another beautiful trek around Kangchenjunga (8586m), the world's third highest peak. The trek involves challenging walks on snow and ice, but the breathtaking scenery is guaranteed. Visits to the Kathmandu Valley with its temples, stupas, and intricately carved wooden buildings. Exploration of Chitwan National Park on a jeep safari for wildlife viewing: egrets, crocodiles, storks, deer, elephants, kingfishers, peacocks, parrots, rhinoceroses, wild boars, and macaques. A big thank you to Trekking Nepal and Man Kumar for their professionalism and to their very attentive team of porters. Denis

Notre plus beau voyage n’était pas celui qu’on avait prévu et c’est grâce à Mankumar. On eu les coordonnés de Mankumar grâce à plusieurs témoignages dithyrambiques d’anciens clients sur le forum du Routard qu’on a pu également contacter. Décembre 2021 : après quelques jours de trek, la neige est devenue trop forte et il a décidé de redescendre. C’est passé en tempête derrière nous. Il n’a pas hésité une seconde, alors qu’il savait ce que ça lui coûtait de nous faire renoncer. On l’a gardé pour tout le reste du voyage, plus bas, vers Katmandou. En quelques jours, il s’était créé entre nous une confiance et une proximité telles qu’on n’a pas envisagé une seconde de continuer sans lui. On a beaucoup parlé : la vie au Népal, la spiritualité, l’histoire du pays, son village de montagne, comment il a appris le français tout seul. Son parcours force le respect ! On est repartis avec le sentiment d’avoir compris quelque chose du pays, pas seulement de l’avoir traversé. Son frère portait avec nous, l’équipe est adorable. On est restés en contact, et on y retournera avec lui quand nos enfants seront plus vieux.

Un immense merci pour ce témoignage si touchant 🙏 Ce fut un véritable honneur de vous accompagner, vous et vos deux filles, jusqu’au sanctuaire des Annapurnas. Partager cette aventure en famille, dans un lieu aussi magique, rend l’expérience encore plus spéciale. Je suis très heureux d’avoir pu vous guider en toute sécurité et à un rythme adapté, et surtout de vous avoir fait découvrir un peu de la richesse de notre culture, de nos traditions et de notre nature. Merci également pour vos mots si généreux, ils me vont droit au cœur. Je n’oublierai pas ces moments passés ensemble. Je serai ravi de vous accueillir à nouveau au Népal pour une prochaine aventure ! 🇳🇵 Namaste mon ami 🙏 Man kumar

After 12 days spent with Man Kumar on the Annapurna Balconies – an incredible travel, human, and sporting experience! Man Kumar's generosity, knowledge, and dedication are truly impressive.

My first experience discovering this country. A fantastic guide and his attentive team not only helped us reach a 4600-meter peak but also allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture, discover and appreciate the atmosphere of the monasteries, and experience the country and its customs through Mankumar's daily stories, told in French. An experience to repeat and extend! Wonderful memories.

After my first trek in Langtang in 2023, I returned to Nepal with my father in April 2025 for the Pikey Peak trek in the heart of Sherpa country. Mankumar had prepared an itinerary that took us along less-traveled paths: stages adapted to our needs, with rest periods and visits to villages. We passed through the largest monastery in Nepal, Thupten Chholing Gumpa, a truly magnificent place, where we witnessed Buddhist ceremonies. During this trek, Mohan Ban was our French-speaking guide and Krishna our porter. More than just guides, they were true companions, taking care of us with special moments: the desserts Mohan prepared for us and the traditional dance we shared with Krishna. We returned to Kathmandu with a warm welcome and a visit to the fascinating site of Bhaktapur, led by a local guide. Thank you to Mankumar and his entire team for this wonderful trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Mohan and Man Kumar's services and would gladly trek with them again!

Trekking in the Annapurna region with Man Kumar. He took care of all the administrative procedures and permits in a very short time. Man Kumar is very attentive to others' needs, makes sure everything is alright, anticipates problems if necessary, and adjusts the pace and itinerary accordingly. It's extremely reassuring to travel with him; you can see that he knows the area perfectly and shares his knowledge of the country, customs, way of life, and living conditions in the mountains. He also shares and exchanges information about the family and social rites and traditions of the Nepalese people. Traveling with Man Kumar means discovering a mountain region, but also immersing yourself in the daily life of Nepalese people, their social and family organization in rural and mountain areas, as well as in more urban areas. Always with respect for everyone's habits and customs. His interest in others also extends to our lifestyles in France, our practices, and our social organization. His knowledge is diverse, and he seeks to share it in order to foster understanding. With Man Kumar, one also encounters Nepal and its people in ways that are less visible. One learns a great deal. My experience with Man Kumar is one I would gladly repeat; it was also the discovery of a passionate and highly reliable man, not only in his profession but also in his ability to listen to others and engage in meaningful dialogue. It was a wonderful encounter. Thank you, Man Kumar.

Trekking Nepal, a small, family-run, French-speaking agency, is very attentive and caring. Mankumar, his guides, and his porters are top-notch. I highly recommend them. We also explored Mera Peak, the Kathmandu Valley, and treks in Pokhara, Mustang, and Langtang—we experienced it all, and it was perfect.

Amazing guide in Nepal! We did a trek near Langtang and everything went perfectly! Man Kumar took us to some incredible places and gave us superb historical and geopolitical explanations. He speaks excellent French (he's bilingual), manages the trip very well, has a great team, and adapts to the group's level. I highly recommend him.

We completed a 10-day trek in the Annapurna region at the end of March with two friends, and the experience was absolutely incredible, both personally and physically. A large part of this success is thanks to our guide, Man Kumar. Always kind, professional, attentive, and cheerful, he made the trek even more memorable. He knew the mountains perfectly, the ideal pace, the best places to stop, and he always ensured we felt comfortable and safe. Beyond his qualities as a guide, he is a wonderful person with whom we shared some fantastic moments during those 10 days. We leave with unforgettable memories and wholeheartedly recommend Man Kumar to anyone wishing to discover the Annapurnas in the best possible conditions. Thank you again for everything!

We just spent 10 days with our guide, Man Kumar, on the Annapurna Circuit. There were three of us, French friends, and we had a fantastic time with Man Kumar. He's a passionate and experienced guide who knows the mountains and the history of his country extremely well. More than just a guide, he'll transport you through Nepal's history with numerous anecdotes. Man Kumar is attentive, kind, and will ensure you have the best possible conditions to achieve your goal. A major plus is that he speaks excellent French. If you want to have an extraordinary experience, filled with laughter and shared moments, I recommend him 200%.
