“Sun was an excellent guide. The trip was a really fulfilling experience. The hike had two options to choose from- an easier or harder route. We chose the harder route; it was worth it. There were stunning views and we felt that it was an authentic experience of the villages. We were blessed to have great weather on a December day.”
