Santa is a great guide. I'm a returning customer

George B 1 contribution Brilliant Guide, beautiful trek. Will be back! Apr 2023 • Couples We went on the 8 day Langtang Valley Trek with Santa. We have treked all over the world and Santa was by far our best ever guide, he was friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgable about all things, Nepal, mountains and Langtang. It didn't feel like 8 days and we had an absolutely amazing time. I will definitely be back in Nepal to trek again with Santa. He also really helped us on the final day to reach the summit with his positive attitude, I'm not sure we would have made it up without him. Thank you so much santa.
