Amazing Experience: Phari Laptsa Peak Climbing
Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions did a fantastic job for me. I was nervous because it was my first trek, climbing 6000 meters high. But the guide was fabulous. Not only did the Sherpa friend guide me, but also he constantly motivated me. It would not have been possible to accomplish the expedition without his back.
And the most exciting part is the various landscape within a brief trek period. We started our trek through a small village crossing rivers, jungles, hills, and finally, the majestic snow-covered mountains. Thanks to Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions, I had a great time in Nepal.
