Halesi treks drop to international airport
December 31,2017
My friend and I did the Langtang-Gosaikunda-Helambu trek with two porters and a guide from Man Kumar's team. It was my first visit to Nepal. We had problems with traveller's diarrea and acute mountain sickness but our guide was very helpful and reassuring, knowing how to treat well and encouraging without taking risks. The porters were always ready to give a hand our to take our day-pack when the efforts above 3000m became more difficult (for people near 60). Our stay in the lodges was perfectly organised. We always took time to enjoy nature and mountains, never been in a rush. There was a warm feeling in the group and mutual understanding. I would certainly recommend a trip with Halesi trek. It gave me a real Nepali experience and an unforgettable journey.
