Travel Experience
I did few treks with Gaze Nepal and loved every single minutes of them. They tailored my treks based on my needs and endurance. We went ti Langtang Valley, Gosaikunda Lake and ABC. Everything was so well organized from transportation to porter and accommodation. Sunil is an amazing photographer and he took so many beautiful pictures of me during the whole trek. I had few ideas during my treks and they were so flexible and organized and they managed to change the itinerary during the trek very quickly without any problem. I am looking forward to be back soon and do more adventure with them!
