Trip Review
Me and my family did the Mardi Himal trek over the course of 6 days. The guide Kul and the porters were very informative and welcoming to there culture. Kul the guide gave us the chance to see the most spectacular and pristine views. They were very funny and kind. It was also nise to sitdown at the end of the day and play Nepalese card games. They were very careful about altitude sickness and when my son got a small dose of it, they quickly changed plans with no fuss and were very caring. We highly recommend!
