Journey to the top of Kang Guru
After abundant research and scrolling website after website, I finally discovered a mountain worth giving a try. Being completely new to the adventure, I was unsure what to expect from the trek, but little did I know how life-changing the entire experience was. In just two weeks, I learned so many things on the journey. I met people of different cultures and became aware of their customs and lifestyle. My team and I also enjoyed the stunning scenery along the trek. The mountain looked so beautiful from the base that we couldn’t help but increase our pace to reach the acme as quickly as possible.

My first mountain trip
I was dubious and hesitant when a friend suggested I do the Kang Guru expedition, leaving all the famous mountain treks. Although I signed up for it months before, I was not convinced by the idea of climbing the mountain until I hit its trail. It wasn’t well before Kang Guru’s beauty engrossed me and dazzled me with its charm. I enjoyed walking its trail as it weaved through Manang’s old villages and towns. The difficulty level was intermediate for what many believed. We had the chance to discover its unique topography and landscape, which was spectacular and eye-popping.

Tall of the tallest
From knowing nothing about Kang Guru to probably knowing everything about it, I have made considerable progress. But, this wouldn’t have been possible if Peak Climbing Nepal hadn’t helped me find the expedition and made all the arrangements. For the group of seven people, they took care of all of us and guided us all along the way. We had a great time climbing the mountain and discovering parts of it, especially Nar Phu Valley, Manang, and Koto. We discovered a lot of scenic places along the journey, which are very impressive. It took us several hours on end to reach the summit, but once it was done, we could relax.

Challenging But Rewarding
Standing at the elevation of 6981m/22897ft, Kang Guru Expedition is technically challenging. Thanks to Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions team, they made it happen for me. This is my third time with them.
Those who are looking for Kang Guru Expedition, they must have past mountain climbing experience. The expedition is only possible with great dedication and good physical fitness, and mostly you must listen to your guides.
If you consider conquering Kang Guru, you can have Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions team behind you. They never disappoint.
