Ang Dawa created a wonderful cultural experience in Helambu. The trek was less crowded but filled with meaningful interactions in local villages.

His connections with local families gave us insights into traditional Sherpa and Tamang hospitality. The landscapes were beautiful, but it was the genuine cultural immersion that stood out. Highly recommended for those who want something more personal than just trekking.
