We had a great time on this trek. It is challenging but not overly so (we are mid 30s and reasonably fit but not seasoned trekkers by any stretch), the views were great, the accommodation good, the food good, and a good guide too.

Great introductory hike- although it was short in duration, the hiking was pretty solid in terms of distance and steep ascents!

Challenging hike with beautiful scenery.. Great introductory trek to test yourself or if you only have a few days. Great Himalayan views for sunrise and sunset plus Baktapour!

The trek was interesting and covered many different landscapes. It’s a shame that some previously wild areas on the route have been built upon in recent years but there are still many long stretches of wilderness.

We enjoyed the trip. We saw some lovely plants and wildlife on the route. Jangbu made it very easy and stress free.

This was a great trek with opportunities to enjoy culture and nature. Ram was polite, attentive, and positive during the trek. The food was excellent and although it rained each day, the trek was overall a worthwhile experience.

I would highly recommend this trip, it was an amazing experience. If you are staying in Nepal for a short time and looking for a trek, don't miss this one! The scenery was beautiful and it was so well organised. Unforgettable!

My guide Hari was incredible! However, the trip does not include the famous Buddha Stupa shown in the photos, the first day is also a little much for first timers.
09/07/2023
This is great introductory trip to trekking in Nepal. If you have a reasonable level of fitness, you shouldn’t find it too challenging!
05/10/2023
If you’re looking for an insight into the villages & beautiful views of the mountains , without being to challenging this trip is worth considering.

This trip is a wonderful way to see the country side of Nepal, observing the sunrise over the Himalayas and eating authentic Nepalese food. The hike is a easy introduction to altitude although it ensures you get you get your step count up each day.

This experience was breath taking. We loved every moment of it and it was incredible to out in the National park and valleys of Nepal and feel so welcomed every where we went

A nice trip that gets you out of Kathmandu for a few days. The walking days are of a good length and often with views of the Himalayas. The area you walk in has a serious litter problem, which many will find upsetting. Best to keep your gaze on the mountains!
