I really enjoyed this hike organized by CAN travels and I must thank my guide Birendra or Bir for being so helpful throughout the hike. I must say that i found the hike strenous but I'm possibly a 3/10 in activity level and more active people might not find it difficult. It was lovely walking through village hamlets and meadows with the cool breeze though And I'm glad I did it.
