    Amazing Tamang Heritage Trek with Excellent Guide & Porter

      |   Double Crown, United States

    We had an incredible time on the Tamang Heritage Trek with our guide Bishnu and our porter Nibhesh. We weren't sure which company we were going to trek with upon arrival in Kathmandu, but while walking in the Thamel district we stumbled across their shop, and they had a sign outside with a long list of possible treks that were affordably priced. We decided to talk to them and within half an hour had a customized trek at a price that was reasonable. From then on everything went smoothly - meals, tea and tea houses were all arranged for us, and our guide/porter addressed any concerns we had professionally the entire time. They also gave us a nice history of the region as we walked, as well as during our meals. We cannot recommend this company, our guide and porter, or this particular trek enough!
