    The variety of landscape among friendly people and superb support from the whole team lead by Jangbu Sherpa. I must also add a great guided tour of Kathmandu when we saw so much in a short space of time.

    Just like to say I enjoyed the trip very much. It was very well organized with a great group leader which made it even better. It was a big thing for me as I am not a very well travelled person so I'm very grateful for the whole experience.
