Traveller reviews
Well organised from start to finish. The mountain views on the third morning left us speechless.
The food along the route was better than we expected and the lodges were cosy and warm.
Smooth pickup, clear communication, and a guide who clearly loves the mountains. Five stars.
Sunrise over the Himalayas was worth every early start. Perfectly paced itinerary.
