We travelled to ABC with our amazing guide, Kumar, and three wonderful porters, Mahesh, Kedar and Bishal. Our trekking adventure took 8 days in Sept 2025, and throughout the time our group of 6 were so well taken care of! Their company made our journey worthwhile: Mahesh with his bits and pieces of travel adventures (and life advice); Kedar with his calm, reassuring gestures of kindness and readiness to take action; Bishal who always smiled and encouraged us to keep going (he also had the biggest appetite); and Kumar, always knowledgeable, steadfast and answered all our hundreds of questions with a smile or laugh - we picked up enough Nepali phrases to hold conversations thanks to him! I highly recommend reaching out to them at MRA as they are reliable, ready and will help you see even more beauty in the mountains. We are beyond grateful to have spent time with them thanks to MRA, and we look forward to seeing you 4 again for our next adventure in Nepal. "Bestarai bestarai", "lagvag lagvag", take care and see you!
