Resham is the unequivocal GOAT. A hilarious and genuinely kind individual with a heart of gold. We chose an itinerary in the Manaslu Region over Rupina La that fell through due to inclement weather and a very unstable snowpack, but Resham salvaged our itinerary and we completed the standard circuit from Machikhola in double time. Resham's positive and level-headed approach to each hardship thrown our way was unwavering, and we made it over the immensely beautiful Larkya La under beautiful sunny skies.
On the logistics end, Bishow managed the itinerary nuances with much professionalism, and everything went flawlessly (sans crazy unseasonable weather). Hiking Bees is the only company I'll recommend to anyone seeking a trekking experience in Nepal. Thank you, Resham, Panchanga, and Bishow!
Hiking bees is a great company! We did a version of the Manaslu trek with them which was incredible. We came to them with an ambitious itinerary, and Bishow found us the perfect guide for the trek, Resham. He is by far the best and most experienced guide I have ever met. He is also a hilarious and genuinely good human. I think that going with any other trekking company in Nepal would be a huge waste of time and money. I will recommend this company to anyone who wants to do any type of trek in Nepal.
My partner and I went (from Argentina and Chile) to the Mansalu Valley with Hiking Bees and the experience was wonderful!! Bishow was a great guide for us, super attentive, friendly, and concerned. I recommend it 100%

Our guides were knowledgeable about the trail and the stunning landscapes and incredibly friendly and easy-going. They shared fascinating insights into the local culture, enriching our trek. The accommodations and food they arranged at these teahouses were top-notch, ensuring we were comfortable and well-fed throughout the trek.
The trek itself was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The rugged terrain, suspension bridges, and high mountain passes tested our endurance, making each day an adventure to remember. And of course, the jaw-dropping views of Manaslu and the surrounding peaks were simply breathtaking.
But what truly made this trek stand out was the relaxed and friendly atmosphere fostered by Hiking Bees. It felt more like an epic journey with friends than a commercial trek. We laughed, we shared stories, and we created memories that will last a lifetime.
