- Everest Base Camp Trek (12 destinations)
Experience of a life time. Amazing guide jagan. Awesome scenary!
- Ghorepani Ghandruk Trek (Poon hill trek, Annapurna sunrise view trek)
I could recommend this trip more. The tour group were amazing from start to finish! They made sure they had all of our arrival details and give us a big warm welcome. Shailesh ran us through all the details of the trip and what we could expect. We met Harry who was our tour guide who was also amazing! The accomadation and food along the way was brilliant too. We didn’t have the best weather however we still had an incredible time! The trek itself was the perfect combination of length of time vs amazing scenery of what you would see. Both Shailesh and Harry went above and beyond for us and really made our trip! I couldn’t recommended them anymore!
