It was a great experience. One of my favorite things I have done traveling. Spending 5 days in the Himalayas is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The views are stunning and it’s awesome to see another side of Nepal outside of Pokhara and Kathmandu. Would absolutely recommend. I will say it is not easy tho. It is a lot of walking so mentally prepare yourself for a challenging but incredible hike!

Muhammad – Singapore

Very well organized trip. My guide, Bikash was very patient and helpful as well. He helped me out when I fell sick and had food poisoning. He was always very encouraging and stayed with me even with my slow pace. Would highly recommend anyone to go for this activity!
