It was wow experience to be in the team for ABC trekking. Weather was not so good, but my bad, can’t blame on that to Highlander. All the best for the team and hopefully I could manage EBC next year.
We, a team of 15 friends from Norway, are very pleased by Highlander’s very good guiding and service during our trekking. We reached the base camp on October 24. Great experience and fantastic scenery!
