Beautiful Trek

18-Dec-2019

I had the opportunity to work with Uma Holidays Team on the trek to the Everest Base Camp. Guide was extremely helpful and guided me on the trek with ease and proficiency. The trek was wonderful in itself, but his assistance made it even more enjoyable and his friendliness made the communication to happen so very easily.
