The Sereng Gompa Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the most beautiful and adventurous trekking journeys in Nepal. This 18-day trek takes you through remote Himalayan villages, peaceful Buddhist monasteries, deep river valleys, alpine forests, and high mountain landscapes surrounding Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world.

During the trek, you will follow the beautiful Manaslu Circuit route and visit Sereng Gompa, a quiet Buddhist monastery near Samagaon. As you walk through the area, you will see peaceful valleys, colorful prayer flags, snow-covered mountains, and traditional Tibetan-style villages.

 Verified Unforgettable Trekking Experience & Warmest Hospitality with Silvermoon Adventure Silvermoon Adventure and Tours provides comprehensive, reliable, and top-tier service, treating every guest with genuine warmth and care. They truly make Nepal feel like a second home, and trekking with them means you won't need to worry about a single detail from start to finish. Why I Chose Silvermoon Adventure and Tours I learned about the team through Deepak. Once he knew my flight details and preferred trek, he immediately customized a detailed itinerary for me. While I consulted other travel agencies in Nepal, Deepak and the Silvermoon team provided the most thorough plan and transparent information, giving me complete confidence to book with them. The Trekking Experience My guide, Basanta, took exceptional care of me throughout the entire journey. Along the trail, he constantly checked in on how I was feeling, offered breaks, and even offered to carry my backpack to ensure I was comfortable. Every time we arrived at a tea house, he made sure I had food and drinks ready—even reminding me to order meals when I was too exhausted to think about it. On the day we reached Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), I developed a mild headache. Basanta immediately arranged garlic soup to help relieve the altitude sickness and provided medicine to soothe the pain. His attentive care made all the difference in completing the trek safely. Beyond his attentiveness, Basanta is an expert guide who always navigated the easiest paths at trail junctions. Even after we returned to Pokhara for dinner, he ensured I got back to my hotel safely. Deepak also checked in via message every single day during the trek to ensure everything was running smoothly. After the Trek The team's hospitality didn't end on the trail. Back in Kathmandu, the founder, Bishal, gave me a warm welcome, helped me retrieve my luggage from the hotel, showed me around the city, and personally arranged my airport drop-off. Thank you to Basanta, Bishal, and Deepak for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely return to Nepal and trek with Silvermoon Adventure and Tours again. Highly recommended!

 Verified It was good experience sightseeing at Kathmandu My trip with Silver Moon Adventure was truly unforgettable. Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu was an amazing experience, with each place showcasing Nepal's rich history, culture, and architectural beauty. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the monasteries in Pharping. The peaceful atmosphere and meditation experience were deeply spiritual and left me feeling calm and inspired. It was a unique opportunity that I will always remember. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Silver Moon Adventure for organizing such a wonderful journey and introducing me to these special places. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Silver Moon Adventure to anyone looking for an authentic cultural and spiritual experience in Nepal. I will definitely return for another trip in the future! I hope to travel with Silver Moon Adventure again soon. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the 5-day Mardi Himal Trek with a group of 6 people, organized by Silver Moon Adventure, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide, Dipak, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the trek. He made sure everyone in the group was safe, comfortable, and enjoying the journey. His friendly attitude and local knowledge made the experience even more memorable. The trek itself was stunning, with beautiful forests, peaceful trails, and breathtaking mountain views, especially from Mardi Himal View Point. Everything was well organized, including the accommodation, meals, and daily itinerary, allowing us to fully enjoy the adventure without any worries. I highly recommend Silver Moon Adventure to anyone planning the Mardi Himal Trek. A big thank you to Dipak for making our trip so enjoyable and unforgettable!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Annapurna Base Camp trek with Silver Moon Adventure and Tours was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Since this was my second trekking trip in Nepal, I had high expectations, and the company truly delivered outstanding service. The team communicated very professionally and answered every question with patience and kindness. The hotels arranged during the trek were comfortable and well selected. Most importantly, the guide and porter were incredibly supportive, caring, and attentive throughout the journey. I felt safe, comfortable, and fully supported during the entire trek. I would definitely choose Silver Moon Adventure and Tours again for future adventures in Nepal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mohare Danda & Poon Hill Combined Trek Silvermoon provides good service pre & post and during trekking, which makes the clients feel special and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone who does not know which trekking agent to go to. I will go back to Silvermoon for my future trekking in Nepal!
