Beautiful classic trekking

We did the ABC trek straight up and straight down which was beautiful. We didn't have much time but we had strong desire to visit the Base camp and we succeed. It's scenic route with lovely small villages along the trek. Even though the route was very busy, the guide made sure that the lodge was booked in destination before we reached. Great experience!
Excellent trek

Excellent customer service from Subash and our guide Suman was both informative, professional and extremely helpful. Everything went well and although the weather was quite bad, Suman always had a smile and was happy to help as much as he could. Highly recommended.
