A huge thank you to Base Camp for this incredible Grand Tour of Manaslu that we’ve just completed! Many thanks to Fabien for organizing this trip, and a very special thank you to our guide Maïté for his dedication, availability, flexibility, and trust in each of us. He looks out for everyone, anticipates needs, encourages, and respects each person’s pace.

Maïté generously shares his culture, knowledge, philosophy, and religion, never hesitating to go beyond the formal framework to offer us unique experiences — both culturally and on the trails we explored. Full of humor and enthusiasm, we shared festive evenings with him and his team, filled with singing and card games! Maïté is always smiling and approachable, and you can feel the strong connection he has with his team.

We return from this trek with stars in our eyes! Thank you, Maïté!

The 6 crazy ones of Manaslu!
