No words, just loads of emotions

Rating:

I surely knew my first Trek experience in Nepal would have been unique but not to this extent! Nature, views, local people, paths, silence, incredible sunrises and sunsets and MUCH MORE made this experience a unique one. Actually, it won't be unique because I am now almost ready to embark on my flight back to Italy and am already planning my next Trek to Nepal. Of course with Unique adventure: all has been greatly organised. Last but surely not least, the gentle and professional presence of my guide Lapka and porter Nzima surely contributed to this unforgettable experience: good rhythm, dense silence and also chats and dancing time (!)
