A perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Our trek up to ABC was breathtaking, and the helicopter ride back over the snow‑capped peaks was absolutely stunning. Guides were professional and supportive every step of the way.

Adventure Meets Luxury

Hiking to ABC in just six days was challenging but rewarding. The heli return added a touch of luxury and made for a dramatic finale. Highly recommended for those short on time.

Dramatic Finale with Helicopter

Walking up to ABC was wonderful, mountain views day after day. But nothing beats the helicopter departure… soaring over glaciers and ridgelines was phenomenal.

Outstanding Service & Alpine Rewards

The team was responsive even before our arrival. On the trek, our guide monitored altitude symptoms closely. The heli ride capped off one of the most memorable treks I’ve ever done. This was such a great Experience, Dhital had been a great help too. I'll surely come back for another trip someday.
