Trek Slow and Drink Water as much as Possible in Kalapathar Trip

You should always watch out for the symptoms of altitude sickness. As soon as you see any sigh of it, consult to your partner or guide. You must descend to lower height as fast as you can to overcome altitude sickness.

    Customised small group trekking

    Wow, this was great. I normally check around but when my husband Andrew made the first email enquiry Suman replied promptly, as he did for many emails and questions about trekking from Jiri to Kala Pattar. We learned to trust Dream Heaven Adventure was responsive in the way we are used to with good companies in Australia.

    We were able to customize the trek to meet our own specific needs and developed an itinerary which allowed for extra acclimatization days.

    The guide and porter Suman provided for us were wonderful, always looking after us whether it be on the trail, or finding the best teahouses to stay at.

    Suman has developed a great trekking company which meets the particular needs of his clients as he helps tailor the right trip whether travelling solo, as a couple or in small groups.

    Wonderful trek to EBC

    Had a wonderful experience and great time in the trip. Our guide Raj and porter Rabin were so nice. Raj, great knowledgeable person, who knows very well about the region, locals and history/culture. We could not finish this trip without Raj, I was absolutely amazed with all arrangements.

    Suman was truly helpful person, prompt in answering my questions since I contact him. We first met him in Kathmandu, and he was very keen to organize our trip very well. Thanks all for making our adventure fun.
