    Anna Mankundu, India - March 15, 2016

    We are highly recommending choosing Ashmita trek to go on a trekking tour. We have done a trip to the Darjeeling and sikkim in mid-February 2016. Our guide had a good knowledge of the flora and fauna and took very well care of us. The tour was perfectly organized and well structured, therefor we didn`t face any problems. The weather was during some periods not as good as we had hoped for. However every morning we were able to see the sun rising, shining onto the highest mountains of the world and that was just amazing. The accommodations were very comfortable and hospitality. they provided all necessities. The food was excellent and tasty. The mornings and evenings, even though we have been warned were surprisingly cold. In the nighttime we were offered blankets or a fire place or a hot water bottle to keep us warm. The sleeping bag provided by the organization was in good condition. To sum up, we really enjoyed our tour and we are looking forward to go again on a tour with Ashmita Trek.
