Traveller reviews
A tough but rewarding climb. The team looked after us at altitude and never rushed the pace.
A genuine highlight of our Nepal trip. Friendly team, stunning scenery, would do it again tomorrow.
Our guide's local knowledge made all the difference — small villages we'd never have found alone.
