    Adventure !!!!

    This trek was a lot of fun. We had a small group of six, which was very pleasant. Every porter went out of their way to make us feel at home, which was very welcome. We actually would have liked the opportunity to pitch and help out, to make the trip even more challenging. Hiking…
