Me and my family did the Langtang trek with the guide/ported combo of Lama and Bijon who were both incredible! The company customised our itinerary to all of our asks and plans were modified on the go when one of us was unwell so we were still able to complete the trek. Would highly recommend booking through Base Camp Hike 🙂
