Great Trip

09-Jul-2019

It was a superb trek. before the trek, I was very afraid maybe my wife cannot trek as she is fat. We start our trek, got a well-experienced guide. During Ulleri hiking, she wanted to quit but our guide had motivated and slowly we hike. It took time but we did it. Highly Recommended.
