This was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had! It was made even more special by the amazing crew at Tibet Discovery. My guide was not only knowledgeable and helpful, but a joy to be around. By the end of the tour, I really felt like we were a family. The porters and assistant guide were all so friendly and accommodating, and I would highly recommend this trip for any adventurer.
