This was the most incredible adventure. Every day was different and just as eye popping amazing as the day before. Narayan handled all the many arrangements effortlessly, regularly consulting us and happily taking on any changes or special requests. Nothing was too much trouble. His team were very respectful, efficient and with endless patience, always ready to assist in any way they could. It was a trouble free, never to be forgotten experience and-one we will be doing again in a few years. Well, not the same trek. It will be a different trail in the majestic Himalayas but guaranteed to be as amazing and incredible as the last. We are so Looking forward to seeing Narayan and his team again!
