Reviews of Trek

Wonderful Tamang Heritage Trekking with Base Camp Hike

This was my 2nd trip of mine. I chose Tamang Heritage Trekking due to it being short and relatively off the beaten path. We had wonderful holidays with Base Camp Hike.
The trek was spectacularly gorgeous, and the guesthouses chosen for us were comfortable. Our guide took such good care of us. I would again use their service in the future. Jayaram(boss) is responsive right from the beginning and patient with my many questions before the trekking. Thank you so much, Jayaram for everything!
