“This was an amazing trek. My guide, Gelu Tamang, was the best. He was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious, and we became good friends over the 12 days of the trek. Count yourself lucky if you get to trek with Gelu.
Chhatra did a very good job making arrangements for the trek, including permits and flights. I highly recommend Nepal Eco Adventure.”
