We have just completed a Ghale Gaun tour with my wife. Our tour leader was Birendra and I can say we really liked him. In the end, it was a great tour. All the arrangements were amazing.
We have joined Mission Himalaya Treks for our Ghale Gaun trek including Rafting, our guide Chandra was perfect for guiding a well as handling all accommodation transportation meals and permits. Great arrangement for hotels and food. The rafting was perfect with a great Guide and as well as excellent service and buffet free lunch. Thank you, Mr. Birendra, for the perfect arrangement.
