The troubles are over, and the country is safe again. Look at this video to see how kindly tourist buses were treated even during the protest.
I did a 3-week trek with Hari and his team around Manaslu and the Tsum Valley Circuit.
The trek itself, the scenery, mountains, valleys, rivers, people,..were simply Epic.
Hari and our porters (Siri his nephew and Chitra his uncle) were wonderful and I a great time talking and joking with them.
As for the dificulty of the trek, i would consider most days of moderate difficulty with a few hard ones now and then like pass-day.
In Tsum Valley we did several interesting homestays and stayed one night in a Tibetan monastery (Mu Gompa).
At 3700m, and placed on a ridge, it was very windy and chilly but very interesting to spend the night there nonetheless.
All in all I enjoyed the trek a lot and would like to come back for a spring season trek.
About Hari and his team I have nothing but praise.
They’re very easy-going, well-organised and fun to be around with.
In other words, you’ll be in very good hands!

Doing the trek with Hari was a great experience as he ensured that it was tailored to our different fitness levels. He always picked the best guesthouses and asked for feedback to ensure they had a good stay (and will change the guesthouses that we’re not up to standard in the future). Hari made the trek fun and he shared all his knowledge along the way (we had lots of questions!). Hari was very quick to communicate via email and WA and also adapted to changes quickly (as one of us missed our flight and he changed the itinerary for us at the last minute). I would highly recommend Hari and his company( Hillary Step Treks) for any treks you plan in Nepal: you will be in good hands!!

Well planned, excellently executed and well organised trip by Hari and his team. They are friendly, accommodating, extremely helpful, experienced and generous. Our group had an amazing and unforgettable trek at Annapurna Base Camp

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Hillary Step Treks. They organized a trek to Pikey Peak for me on short notice, and everything—from logistics to lodging to guiding—was handled flawlessly. The team was responsive, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the trip special. Hari, the manager, was responsive at all hours of day, took into account all my requests and even went out of his way to pick me up at the airport. My guide, Ramesh was knowledgeable, warm, and made the journey both safe and unforgettable. Both he and Bisal, the porter, took wonderful care of me, including figuring out how to retrieve my phone when I left it behind in a lodge.
I couldn’t have asked for a better-organized adventure. I highly recommend Hillary Step to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable trekking experience in Nepal!
