Fantastic Experience

The trip has run very smoothly and I personally have had a tremendous time in Nepal. The 18 days trek and summit attempt of Tent peak was a fantastic experience. Holiday mountain treks made our entire trip a success. The team of porters and guides were superb and had a vast knowledge of trekking in the Annapurna region and of the climb for Tent peak. Without team support, we would have not been able to complete our trip.
