EXCELLENT Based on 89 reviews Posted on Karthik RaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fresh off an incredible adventure! Our group of 17 from Bangalore just wrapped up a dream trip to Sandakphu, and we have to give a huge, heartfelt thanks to the Highlander Guides And Porters Association for making it completely stress-free. From start to finish, the organization was spot on: The classic Land Rover ride was an adventure in itself. 🚙 The accommodation (Beautiful Hotel) was warm and welcoming. The food arrangements were delicious and timely. 🍲 We got the absolute best, unobstructed views of Kanchenjunga (the Sleeping Buddha) without a single logistical worry. If you're planning a mountain adventure and want a smooth, memorable experience, we highly recommend!

I traveled with Highlander Guides and Porters, and they guided us to the most beautiful locations throughout the entire journey. From the beginning to the end of the tour, everything was perfectly organized. Highlander Guides provided excellent hotels, food, vehicles, and professional drivers. I was completely satisfied with their service and hospitality. A special thanks to the organizer, Phu Tshering Sherpa, for his outstanding guidance, hospitality, and loyalty. His support and care made this trip truly unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I will definitely recommend this tour to others.Posted on Pallab MahataTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Adventurous and memorable experience!Posted on Fabrizio BarcaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were expecting a lot from the trek ... but reality went beyond expectations. The engagement of the hike was rewarded by the feeling of being suspended between the Sleeping Budda (K3) and K1, golden grass fields, an unforgettable buddist bell, a thick forest secluded villages.Our guide was caring, soft, reassuring. The people we met at every stop, the locals and the hikers, were the people you want to encounter in such a hike. The food, especially where nepalese wood oven were at work, was tasty and surprising. The cold at night was tackled by a good sleeping bag we took with us and additional covers our guide aleays provided. A big 10* for Highlanders Guides!! Ciao
