Camping Trek - 04 Days   This is our first trek in Nepal. We only have one week here so we booked just a small trek (4days). We were met by Santosh, the cook + 4 porters which were organised by NEPAL ENVIRONMENTAL. Over the 4 day period Santosh and his team did everything possible to make our trek as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We have made good friends over the last 4 days and hope to return to Nepal    Address: 33, Jarvis Crescent, Oldbury, Warley, We... See more st Midlands B69 4QH England See less...
