Sofia Russo –
We have recently been to these heavenly mountains and the glacier. The trekking was full of excitement, thrill and adventure. Thanks to Mr. Azfar for his guidance and hospitality. I appreciate his vast knowledge on this region’s nature and rich culture. I find them very professional in their work and services. Would love to visit again and recommend my friends and family as well.
