In May we did the Upper Mustang trek organized by the Trekking Planner company. From the very beginning the communication was just great. Mr. Dipak was very helpful and responsive - we knew everything is taken care of. The trekking itself is sometimes hard due to the conditions (weather, dust, road) but on the other side you will see pristine, conserved area of Tibet with traditional villages, people dressed in traditional costumes, with all the customs... it's just amazing to see this lively museum! Go there until it's all gone! During the trekking we were accompanied by a great guide Anantha and a porter Bean. Thanks to them, the experience was even more memorable. All in all, we really enjoyed the trekking! And the TP team - you did a great job!
