Before you commit to a Manaslu trek, you deserve to know exactly who you are booking with. This page brings together the official registration, licenses, permits, insurance, and certifications that confirm Manaslu Treks and Expedition Pvt Ltd is a genuine, government-registered trekking company based in Kathmandu, Nepal, and not just a website. Manaslu Treks and Expedition operates under our parent company, Next Trip Nepal Treks and Expedition Pvt Ltd. We are publishing this information openly so that travelers, partner agencies, and journalists can verify our legitimacy in one place, rather than having to request it.
Why We Publish Our Company Documents
Trekking in a restricted area like Manaslu means trusting a company with your permits, your safety, and often a significant amount of money paid in advance. Unfortunately, there are websites in this industry that copy photos and content from real agencies while operating without proper registration. We want to make it easy to tell the difference. Every document listed on this page relates to a real registration, license, membership, or policy that our company holds.
