Rating:

Thank you very much Guide in Himalaya and team for amazing trek to Kanchenjunga Base Camp (north, the highlight of the trekking). We have fully enjoyed trekking to Kanchenjunga that we have been dreaming to hike there once in life now it turned into reality. Our guide Prakash was very attentive and caring. He always made sure that if we are doing good and enjoying. Our porter Sandesh was also very supportive and good company to be with during the trek. Pradip arrange this trek smoothly with prompt reply of all our questions in email. We were very lucky that our flight took off in time and the weather was very good with blue skies. We enjoyed the best landscape and panoramic view with the nature and cultural immersion. We can recommend this company and team for sure anyone interested doing a short version of Kanchenjunga trek.
