β€œPLACEHOLDER β€” replace with a real client quote. This one is tagged Manaslu so it shows on the Manaslu page. Make this one longer to demonstrate the "See more" toggle: describe the teahouses, the pass crossing at dawn, how the guide handled the altitude days, what the food was like, and why the traveller would recommend booking directly. Keep going for a few sentences so the collapsed state visibly truncates and the expand control appears under the review text.

Manaslu vs Annapurna Circuit β€” which should you choose?

I've guided both hundreds of times. An honest comparison β€” crowds, culture, cost, and difficulty β€” from someone who has crossed both passes more times than he can count.
