Me and my friends wanted to travel to Gosaikunda for a long time. We finally made time to travel and I have to say this trip didn’t disappoint us at all. It was worth our time and money.

'' I had done the Lumba Sumba pass treks with Tashi sherpa as my Guide. The fact that Lumba Sumba is an incredible remote and isolated area, we spent 2 amazing weeks, amazing views of Kanchenjunga,Makalu and Lumba Sumba high pass. It was incredible organization and local knowledge of staff at Adventure Himalayan Travels and treks and their highly qualified and experienced guide and porters.
