Incredibly Helpful
Rating:
Incredibly helpful in advising how to prepare for a trek and to explore authentic Nepal! Milan has a lot of experience in leading treks and organizing expeditions on any route - and there are so many in Nepal! I loved trekking in Langtang last Spring and stayed a few extra days in the village to help a family rebuild their home. My highest recommendation and best wishes!

Randonnée du Langtang!

J'ai rencontré Milan peu après mon arrivé dans l'hôtel "Adventure Home" de son ami. Nous avons rapidement sympathiser, et sachant que je voulais faire une randonnée, il m'a parlé de son entreprise et m'a proposé d'organiser ça ensemble. J'ai accepté, et je doit reconnaître qu'il a été super et très professionnel. Grâce à lui, j'ai découvert la route de Langtang en passant par le petit village de Sing gompa, le lac de Gosaikunda ou diverses auberges isolées au fond de la montagne.Mon guide était Om Prakash Pun, un homme expérimenté et entrainé avec qui je me suis très bien entendu. Oui je vous recommande l'entreprise Archaic Nepal, car grâce à eux, ma randonnée s'est passé bien mieux que je ne pouvais l'espérer.
(I met Milan shortly after arriving at the hotel "Adventure Home" of his friend. We quickly sympathize, and knowing that I wanted to hike, he told me about his business and offered to arrange it together. I agreed, and I must admit that he was super and very professional. Thanks to him, I discovered the Langtang road through the small village of Sing gompa, Lake Gosaikunda or various remote lodges at the bottom of the mountain. My guide was Om Prakash Pun, an experienced and trained man with whom I got on very well. Yes I recommend the company Archaic Nepal, because thanks to them, my hike went much better than I could hope for.)

Group Size
We, ourselves feel that the group size of maximum 12 pax is an ideal size to run the trip. However, we have also arranged the plan for large students groups, employee groups and able to organize such trip for groups upon request. All of our trekking plans are accompanied by specialized local leaders, guides, porters and assistant guides (as required) who will always ensure your safety and comfort at every part of the journey.
