"Great Experince"

Just returned from the Lang Tang Valley trek with Magical Nepal.The landscape, mountains and people are extraordinarily beautiful. it was a long held ambition of mine to trek there and it exceeded my expectations.

The organisation by Deepak and Pradeep was professional and seem less. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

They set us up with an excellent guide in Bishow Dahal, a guide of 20 years experience, and it showed in his intimate knowledge of his country and people.

Bishow and his young apprentice guides/porters were attentive and great fun to travel with and I will always be grateful to them for making it the journey it was.
