Traveller reviews
Sunrise over the Himalayas was worth every single early start. Good value for what's included, and no surprise costs on the trail.
The food along the route was far better than we expected. Booking was straightforward and every transfer happened as described.
A once-in-a-lifetime route, and every hard hour was worth it. The porters were looked after properly, which mattered to us.
