    Exploring the Enchanting

    The warm hospitality of the local Tamang and Sherpa communities added an extra layer of richness to the journey, as we immersed ourselves in their way of life. The scenic beauty of the Helambu region, with its lush forests and panoramic mountain views, was truly captivating. It's a trek I'd recommend to anyone seeking a blend of Himalayan scenery and cultural immersion.

    Helambu-Trek with female guide

    We had a well-organized trip with a very friendly female guide, and also a very kind female assistant guide and a strong, smart and friendly porter. We have seen a lot of interesting places, met many lovely people and we had many wonderful mountain views. Because of the NAT team, we saw many things (temple, holy places, and caves, ...), we wouldn’t' t have seen without them. We can recommend Jeevan's flexible and personal services. We will come to Nepal again!
