Manaslu Circuit Trek
I undertook the Tamang Heritage Trek in the Langtang region with Hari Pandey in 2009. I was a complete novice, but felt well looked after with Hari as my guide. Knowledgably, friendly and professional, he helped to create fond memories of my time at the gateway to the Himalayas.
