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.

“Cała wyprawa była fantastyczna:) Choć dla nas nie lekka ze względu na różnice poziomów i dużą ilość schodów. Pomimo wysiłku było warto, wspaniałe widoki z Australian camp rekompensują wysiłek a spacer do wioski Damphus był bardzo uroczy i raczej łatwy. Nasz przewodnik Bidur bardzo dobrze się nami opiekował, wspierał w trudniejszych momentach i dostosował tempo i przerwy do naszych możliwosci. Dał nam wiele informacji o terenie, przyrodzie i lokalnych zwyczajach. W Damphus zabrał nas do lokalnej restauracji gdzie jedliśmy najpyszniejsze na wyjeździe momo ( polecam wersję z panirem, pomidorami i cebulą) Piękno przyrody i opieka naszego przewodnika Bidura sprawiły że był to nasz najpiekniejzy d...”
