Reviews

A big THANK YOU to Safe Himalayan Travel and Adventure for the perfect organization and execution of our Manaslu trek. We have always felt in the best hands and thank very special our guides Pema and Jeet for their care. There was no day when they did not storm into the kitchen after arriving at the lodge to check and cook for us. Our thanks also go to the porters who made our tour easier.
You are all a great team!
