Went on the 3D2N Panchase trekking experience.
Must really give our heartfelt thanks to our knowledgeable guide (Ram) and our porter (Nur) for making the trek fun and informative. Learn alot about the Nepalese culture during the trek from conversing with Ram. The service they provide is impeccable, always checking on our condition, personally serving us food, and ensuring all necessary logistics are taken care of. Would surely recommend this beginner trek (no prior experience and training needed) to anyone who loves walking through serene, untouched forest and picturesque villages, enjoys the peace of the countryside and meeting friendly locals along the way~
