Challenging Trek

04-Nov-2019

Be sure you understand that trekking itself is only part of all difficulties you met. Great views and great Mountain. It was quite colder and we trekked higher altitude. But it was no problem at all we had proper gears. Some of the reeking trails were quite challenging – it could make you cry :).

13-Dec-2019

For myself the trek was quite challenging and if you are not used to carrying the weight, porter would be the best option you can go with. Sherpa Porter are very strong. Every Team members were great and highly recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking !!
