Robin was also a great porter, we were very well looked after by both Ishwor and Robin, a huge thank you to them both. The whole trek was really well organised and offered some great accommodation and amazing memories, along with incredible views. We learnt a lot from Ishwor through our trekking days. We hope we can visit again one day and do another trek with Rugged Trails and will highly recommend this trip online.
