I recently conducted the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek with Visit Himalaya Treks Pvt. Ltd., and it is without a doubt one of the strongest experiences I have had.
From the start, the communication was good and neat. Everything was well organized, which allowed me to lower my shoulders and focus fully on the trip itself.
The trek itself is very special – remote, varied, and incredibly beautiful. The landscape is changing all the time, from green valleys and rivers to high alpine surroundings and mighty mountains. It never felt touristic, making the experience even more unique.
What really made the trip were the people. My guide Hari was experienced and very confident to carry, especially at high elevations. He had a good overview and made good decisions along the way. Porter Rajo also did a fantastic job – always positive, helpful, and with a smile. I have great respect for both efforts.
I also experienced that the pace of the trip was well adapted, with enough time for acclimatisation. This made the whole experience feel safe and complete.
This is not an easy trip, but for those who want a real and less commercial trekking experience in the Himalayas, I can really recommend it.
I would definitely recommend Visit Himalaya Treks further.
Thank you for an unforgettable trip.
Hege Gundersen.
