Nar Phu Trek with Himalaya Guide Nepal
I have trekked 14 days Nar Phu Trek in Nepal. When I was looking trip to Nepal at that time, I contact Chandra Gurung. He responded very quickly and proper information about Nar Phu Trekking. So, I contact him for this trek for my holiday in the Himalayas Nepal.
Our guide was Pratap Tamang and porter was mangal gurung. They both were very helpful and well know about Nar Phu valley and porter is from this valley. I enjoyed this trip with the company crew so I highly recommended this company.
