We’ll meet in Kathmandu on November 30th, take a jeep to Bhandar on December 1st and start trekking the following day. It’ll be relaxing and fun, with a twist of adventure. I want to assure everyone that this trek is being guided by myself and Nepalese mountain guide, Ram Sharan Upreti. We are both very experienced. And our main objective is to keep everyone in our group safe and secure.
