Great Climbing Experience !!! Langtang Lirung !!! Success
We found Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition on the internet and booked our Langtang Lirung Expedition. At first, we were not sure how things were going to be but now after successfully completing the expedition successfully, we just want to thank every single effort done by the team members for making our trip memorable experience. Our guide was Ang-Dendi Sherpa, a patient man with a high level of technical climbing knowledge.
Without his guidance, we wouldn’t have been able to reach the summit. The climbing was very tiring with several technical sections, but it was all worth once we reach the summit. It was a lifetime experience for each one of us. We are very happy that we made a wise decision doing the expedition with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition!! We will surely recommend other climbers about your service and ambitious nature. We wish you luck in future. No matter what, when mountains call we will come again !!
