This was our first time trekking in Nepal so we chose to do a small trek, the Ghandruk loop (4 days), and thought it'd be best to go with a guide. Our guide, Tanka, was friendly, light on his feet and very knowledgeable! We had many interesting conversations and he was of great help and saved us lots of time in knowing all to best paths to take and the best places to stay and to eat. I'm still a beginner when it comes to hiking so this was a bit challenging -but not too much-, and definitely worth it! The Ghandruk trail was absolutely beautiful, with fantastic views and scenery all the way along.
