My family and I joined Cairn Trekking for 10 day TMB trekking. I would like to thank Cairn Trekking for giving us the opportunity to trek TMB and I would like to thank our patience and experience guide, Maxime for guiding us to complete TMB. Also, many thanks to Picasso for sharing our burdens. Our dreams have come true. The trip is well organised, the scenery is breathtaking, the lunch prepared my Maxime each day is healthy and nutritious, the accommodations are comfortable and the price is affordable. There is nothing else I would like to ask for more. Highly recommended.
