It was a beautiful trek, in an environment of unique beauty; the arrival at the base camp is a moment that one does not forget for a lifetime, but the whole journey to get there is also spectacular; the organization of the agency was perfect and the assistance excellent; the guide, Mr. Padam, always present, prepared and efficient, as well as nice, and the porter, Mr. Nares, indispensable, present and very kind. Definitely an absolutely positive experience, in which everything was perfect, also thanks to the agency's staff who were able to resolve every issue in the best possible way. Heartfelt thanks for this strong, unique and unforgettable experience. Luca

Top service in all areas right from the start. I was picked up from the airport, accompanied throughout the 12-day trip and very attentively advised and guided. I can only highly recommend this trip or Getyourguide.
