Enjoy a once in a lifetime 3-day hike deep into the Himalayas, scaling soaring mountain peak and traversing glacially carved valleys. You’ll stop at remote mountain villages for meals and to spend the night. The trek is designed to be adventurous but enjoyable and very manageable for those with an average level of fitness.

You can also opt to pay extra for messages to relax yourself after the hike.
