If Nepal was on your Bucket list - Check this !!

My good friend and neighbor @sanjay is organizing the below Treck to Nepal..if interested you can reach to him on https://www.facebook.com/sanjay.expresso Hi! Here's something I wanted to do for a long time. I've been going on Himalayan treks alone. But I always wanted to share it with others. So me and my cousin Bhaskar Bhattacharya in Nepal have teamed up to take travelers in India to a journey we love and cherish, an experience that can change you for good. We are conducting a trek to the Himalayas in Nepal, in the Langtang region. Almost all trek organizers in Nepal charge in dollars, and that escalates the cost as there are hardly any exclusive planning done for Indian travelers; almost double than what we have achieved. Also, I will be travelling all along the journey. Since I live in India and I am from Nepal, I have an understanding of both cultures and languages, and good local contact. So, no ambiguity, no inflated or hidden costs. Plus loads of personal attention, conversations and friendship. Though by profession I am Creative Director, I am doing this because I love trekking, I love Nepal and I love the mountains :) (All pics taken by my cousin) This is a beautiful trek in the Langtang region, through Langtang National Park. And November is the ideal season. Below is the itinerary. Anyone with moderate fitness can do this.
