We have had an fantastic experience with Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage team. We have meet Anil 6 years ago on our first trip to Nepal and we didn't hesitate to book with him our 2nd trip. We for sure will be back a second time. The team did look after us all way through the trip and was flexible for any changes that occurred on our trip. Asal the guide and Bikash were soo loevley, it felt like walking with a friends stright away. The Tamang Heritage Trail may not be the one that people choose to do when they come to Lantang Valley but I feel that it should not be missed. It is very quiet but the view and people in the Villages are soo heart warming WE were glad that Anil suggested this addition to Lantang trip. We loved it and I strongly suggest to start with it if you have time before head to the LV. As for the Lantang, it is is amazing place and very worth of visit , IT GETS BUSY from October but if you arrive before then you will be greated with a bit more quiet aoura. We were a bit unlucky with the cloudy weather but still it was a memorable experience. Overall great place , lovley people and superb service. As for us we will be back for sure with the NAP team
