Amazing trip
the Kanchenjunga Trek with Himalaya Heart Trek was truly a life-changing experience! From the very first moment, Hari and the team made us feel completely supported and well-prepared. Their attention to detail, local knowledge, and warm hospitality turned a challenging trek into an unforgettable adventure.
The trail was breathtaking — from lush rhododendron forests to towering peaks and serene alpine villages — and the guides ensured we experienced the beauty and culture of the region safely and meaningfully. Every meal, accommodation, and logistic was perfectly arranged, leaving us free to fully immerse ourselves in the journey.
I highly recommend Himalaya Heart Trek to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and inspiring Himalayan adventure. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for the mountains truly set them apart. 🌄🙏
