Climbing the Seven Summits (CTSS)/TAGnepal provided world-class expertise and logistical support for a second year in a row in connection with my attempt to become the oldest American to summit Manaslu, including solving a multitude of issues that kept me on the mountain until COVID struck, forcing me to end my effort scant days before a deadly avalanche ended further team efforts to summit.
More specifically, CTSS/TAGnepal initially timely sourced and replaced all my high altitude gear and the prescription medication needed to keep me not just functional but alive that had been in a duffel bag that was "lost" in transit and only "found" 9 days later, after I was on the mountain. My transit to the mountain, which had been delayed by weather and other factors, was "magically" fixed when quick-thinking TAGnepal and CTSS climbing staff members utilized personal connections to arrange helicopter flights otherwise unavailable for a variety of reasons - at any price. Finally, the prescription medication needed regardless of whether I would've stayed on the mountain or not was acquired and hand-carried, then hand-delivered to me at Basecamp after a single phone call, the failure to have done so instantly ending my trip and potentially endangering my life.
CTSS'S/TAGnepal's support did not end once I contracted COVID on the mountain, ending my summit bid. I was personally accompanied at every step of my evacuation and had subsequently personally arranged for me all necessary medical care when I arrived in Kathmandu and thereafter. My convalescence was continuously monitored multiple times daily until I was finally able to be released for travel, at which point all necessary arrangements for my seamless transit home occurred, being checked and rechecked beforehand to ensure no glitches and no "issues" anywhere along the way.
I can say without any reservation that CTSS/TAGnepal not only saved my trip and the potential of summiting at least 6 different times before COVID finally ended it but that they potentially saved my life by getting me prescription medication that, if not supplied in a timely manner (which it was), wouldn't have just ended my trip but left me optionless at a time when no possibility of helicopter evacuation existed.
You can pay a company for services but you can't pay people to do what CTSS/TAGnepal did for me.
Thank you my friends. In my book, I owe you my life and that is a debt I can never repay.

I was recommended this trek by someone who has a wealth of experience. It wasn't the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp that was suggested (although they said they are pretty awesome too) but Manaslu Circuit.
I am glad I took their advice.
I went at the beginning of December and was timed perfectly with the highest point of the trek, Larkhe Pass (5160m) closing the day after I crossed. Both settlements either side of the pass (Dharamsala and Bhimtang) also closed for the winter so it would have been very difficult to cross the pass.
I set out from Shoti Khola and as each day passed, the scenery just kept on giving. However, the first day was walking along the road to Tibet and the second, although no longer on the road, you could hear the construction works and the noise of rocks being broken up as the road was being extended.
The tea houses are very pleasant and have lots of character. Especially the one I stayed at in Pewa and Shyala. The latter being one of the highlights of the trek. The views here are stunning. Almost a full panaroma of the mountains including the big one, Manaslu.
The weather going up was perfect with great visibility, however, winter came down hard when we descended so it shows how quickly things can change in the mountains.
I've lost count on the amount of donkeys that I came across. The caravans of them were endless and will have to add the into the 'Dangers' section of trekking here. Not as bad as AMS, rockfalls and falling but they can easily knock you off the track as they stomp pass you.
And the bridges...I lost count on how many I crossed too.
Would thoroughly recommend this trekking route so if you're stuck for ideas, bare this one in mind.
Pack toilet paper!
