Fantastic guide and support crew

Everything about this trip was handled professionally. Having such an experienced guide made a huge difference, especially at altitude. A particular highlight for us was monkey encounters - Rhesus Macaque troops of 20 - 50 individuals are commonly encountered foraging along the trail; Himalayan Grey Langur (black-faced with long silver tails) appear higher up near the summit and are significantly larger and more imposing; guides advise on safe approach distances. If you're considering this trip, just book it - you won't regret it.
