This trek was an incredible experience! The views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges were breathtaking, but what really stood out was the warm hospitality we received in the homestays. The company did a fantastic job with the planning, and our guide was very informative. Ghale Gaon is a hidden gem, and the cultural interaction with the Gurung families made this trek truly unique. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cultural trek in Nepal
