Bruno Danguillaume

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!
