    We have been told that our members and groups get along extremely well, and members are pleased to learn how enjoyable our treks are, and often say how pleasantly surprised they are by how well our team members and staff and leaders function together.

    Most members prefer a single room while in Kathmandu. Our trek-tents are based on sharing.

    Each night, our group will camp in an established campsite or teahouse where there are multiple trekking tents.
