“It was good experience”

Reviewed 22nd, November 2025

Got a bit rainy though and not a very easy trek for everyone. The view was amazing to see and the host also supported really well. Hot food was also provided. Eventhough, they say it is a moderate trek, it is challenging for aged people and ladies. Throughlocals team was very supportive and excellent.
