Trek to Langtang

Rating:

Everything is fine here with me. With regards to the Langtang trek. In general, my personal feedback on the trip is that I really really like the Langtang trip because it gave me more satisfaction and sense of achievement than my first trip as I was doing it alone (including the guide and porter). Both the guide and porter are very cooperative and they are really nice people. Though that was my second trip to Nepal, I wont rule out the fact that I may come back again. So until then, best wishes to you!I will recommend you & your company to my friends.

Best time ever

Rating:

I had a lot of fun on this trek. We had a seven days trek to Langtang from Kathmandu. My guide Lakpa Sherpa was super awesome. He was motivating, fun, and the perfect companion for the given situation. I liked the spontaneous responses from Mr.Khum Subedi too. I am more than happy with the service provided on this trip. They organized the whole trek in a way that allowed me to both acclimatize progressively and enjoy the Langtang valley beauty. I had a blast and had the time of my life. Thank you so much, Unique Adventure, Khum dai, and Lakpa dai, for making this trip possible :).
