Hi Sifu Ching, it is so enjoyable to read your adventures as if we are physically there. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello Ching,
ReplyDeleteReally, it is feeling that physically involved there while reading on it. I see you been to Nepal and visited Annapurna Base Camp Trek Everest Base Camp Trekking
With numerous people joining our travel programs every twelve months, Nepal Kailash Trekking has made a record of presenting quality trips that go beyond our visitors’ hope. We are counted among a top-class company as we have multiple choices of trips to present our guests.
Delight of our work comes from a zeal and idea that providing hiking and several other tours into grandiose landscapes is momentous. For sure, we are always concerned about your safety, security and satisfaction. For nature lovers, choosing trips in Nepal is a dream comes true. Regarding destinations, our objective is to offer remarkable hiking, adventurous and pleasant tour experiences in Nepal. And we have been established as well on our track to meeting our aims.
Great adventurous outdoor expedition. Of course the durian feasts are the most enticing calling. Besides, nature's wonders like a soak in the mountain streams is one hard to resist. Boat rides, angling for fish, preparing instant noodles, rough ride through dry dirty hilly tracks in 4WDs etc are themes of the day, leaving unforgettable memories, and it's all photographed, recorded perhaps in video clips, right here in our home country.
ReplyDeleteFantastic website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
