Tour Reviews
What can I say! Spent 2 weeks with Kumar and HET. Great experience! Myself and Tom Paradis trekked to EBC and had a wonderful trip. I highly recommend Kumar and HET for anyone who wants to experience a trip of a lifetime.

The itinerary is well-planned by Himalayan Exploration Treks for different levels of trekkers and minimizes the risk of suffering from the high sick. I had a wonderful time with Sanu.
