He gave us tips about what to eat at altitude and was available 24 hours a day if we needed him. The porters were also very friendly and keen to help. Together they ensured our trip was safe, challenging and memorable.

It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and we were very lucky to experience the different like and culture that Nepal had to offer. Tsering and his team worked really hard to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and made sure we all had a really good time. It was a great challenge and we saw some spectacular views, our guide was fantastically helpful and we would definitely go back again for another trek around Nepal.

It proved to us that Nepal and the Himalayas are truly some of the most beautiful places in the world, whilst also proving them to be one of the most challenging as well. Thank you very much for Tsering and his team for working so hard for us; it has been both a cultural experience as well as a trekking holiday. I strongly recommend Tsering and his team for treks in Nepal.”
