The great experience I have had so far! - I have had the great experiences in ABC trek tour with Santosh tour guide and the company set-up during this trek. This’s my first time in Nepal and the high mountain trekking and doing this as a solo traveler as well. Despite of some worried about the trip before I came to Nepal, this trip was amazing with me. The guide was so caring me and help me understand more about Nepalese’s living, culture, young generation perspectives and also take to me lots lots of nice pictures 🥰🥰🥰. The foods on the trekking tour is quite good for me. I like soup (I tried almost type of soup here 😂), fried rice & fried noodle. Some guess bourse also have machine coffee and ginger lemon tea with honey is so good. If you have plan to go to Nepal and trekking, I highly recommend you choose ABC Trek if you like the trail that combines between the forest and the mountains. And go with Santosh is never boring trip as well 😂😂😂

We received well support from the young and friendly guides Santosh and Asok as well as local porters during the trek The weather on the trekking route changed quickly from hot to cold, from sunny to rainy and snowy just in 1 day, so be aware of it to prepare enough and suitable clothing for the trip
