The hot springs also made for a great time, and I am grateful for the great trekking.If I had the chance again, I would love to ask this Himalaya View Treks again.

From the start the communication was open and easy. Everthing was taken care of only in a few days for everthing to be ready when I arrived. I met my guide in Pokhara. We had beautiful moments together. I really recommand to trek with *Bishal Kulung Rai*. I felt very confortable with him. We had really nice talks but he knew also when to give me the time alone that I was looking for during this trek. He was very supportive, helpful and flexible regarding my requests. In overall, it was a perfect experience ! 🙏🏻💜🏔️🇳🇵
