Commercial link in article body — Guideline concern

Hi everyone,

I noticed the phrase "Manaslu Circuit Trek" in the main article body is currently hyperlinked to a commercial trekking company website: https://www.placesnepal.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek

Per Wikipedia guidelines WP:ELNO, commercial links to tour operator websites should not appear in article body text.

I would suggest one of these fixes:

Option 1 — Link to the Wikipedia article instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manaslu_Circuit

Option 2 — Remove the external link entirely and keep "Manaslu Circuit Trek" as plain text, with a proper reference added to the References section.

For Option 2, I would like to suggest this source as a reference covering the Manaslu Circuit route, its connection to Tsum Valley, and permit requirements:

https://intrekking.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trekking/

I am disclosing that I have a connection to this website. I am raising this on the Talk page rather than editing directly, following Wikipedia's COI guidelines.

Happy for any neutral editor to review and decide the best course of action. Asmit Gautam (talk) 08:38, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
