“Far superior to the commercial trekking circuits”
Having done Everest and Annapurna years ago, Manaslu was a revelation. Pristine trails, authentic Tibetan culture in Samdo, and crossing Larkya La pass at dawn with prayer flags whipping in the mountain wind gave me goosebumps. MyDreamDestiny’s team was disciplined, punctual, and top-tier.
