“I am so happy we did it. The places were amazing and our guide Chandra was exceptional and funny!

We were expecting very basic dorms and we got rooms with amazing views all along the way. It is cold at night but the blankets and covers of the lodges were very good and warm enough (at the end of November). I would recommend everyone to book it here. The places were so beautiful that my boyfriend proposed to me at sunrise…”

We couldn’t see the mountains from Poon hill as it was cloudy and rainy most of the time. Still trekking in the rain was a wonderful experience.”
