“This was an absolutely magical trek with our superb guide, Jeet. Amazing views and a great experience for our first time in Nepal. The communication with the company was very good and Jeet was very engaging and professional throughout. We chose the 4 day, 3 night package with meals included which is what I would recommend for a very manageable distance per day. Very enjoyable and we would not hesitate to trek again with Jeet when we (will definitely) return to the beautiful Himalayas!”
