“I am so happy we did it. The places were amazing and our guide Chandra was exceptional and funny! We waited until we were in Pokhara to book it thinking it would be cheaper there and in the end we realised it was cheaper to book it online. 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…”

“AMAZING, very lucky to experience the trek in alpine conditions, with deep snow in places and sunshine every day. Due to conditions, we didn't stick to the planned itinery, but this worked for me as I was able to climb 2 peaks of greater than 2,600m. It was very cold at night, so I was glad I had packed a lightweight sleeping bag and lots of warm clothing. Special shout out to Oman for guiding my first 2 days, and Hassan for my last 2 days. I hope to return soon to the Atlas mountains.”
