Kusum Kanguru Peak – WOW !!
I feel it hard to express in words how it felt like when I reach the summit of Kusum Kanguru Peak. All the members in the team who accompanied the group for climbing Kusum Kanguru Peak were loyal, honest and helpful. Ang-Dawa, our guide had good leadership features. He handled things in his way and at the same time, he paid attention to other health conditions and issues that were essential for the successful climb to the summit. I would like to do more climbing with him in future. Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition is heartily recommended for those wanting to gain adventurous peak climbing experience in Nepal.

Great Climb – Kusum Kanguru Peak
We just did Kusum Kanguru Peak climbing together with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition. Overall, the planning and arrangement were very good. The climb itself was challenging, exactly what climbers seek for. However, Dendi Sherpa – our climbing expert and guide was very caring and made time to time checks on everyone in the group. At his company, we gained a lot of confidence and dragged our legs up to the summit. Other team members did fantastic jobs. Everything went as planned, so it was just a great feeling to have reached the summit of Kusum Kanguru.
