Shepherds were very accommodating. They picked me up on time from my hotel and transported me to and from my hike. My guide, Rham, was very friendly and informative throughout the hike and always took the time to point out things that might be of interest. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a more personal experience when exploring Nepal or the surrounding areas.
