Kwangde Ri Peak Climbing
This is my second time in Nepal before it was 2 years ago at 2017 for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Truly mesmerized by the beauty of Nepal I came back this year for Everest Region. I went back to the same agency Nepal Everest base camp as they had planned my trip year made it unforgettable. I told them I want something adventurous and challenging but is less crowded. They suggest my Kwangde Ri Peak Climbing and I was quite nervous as never heard it before. But after we started the journey true adventure begins. The journey offers excellent views and scenery of mountain peaks, the beautiful village of sherpa, glaciers and more. Honestly, I didn't expect such an attractive place even exists in this world. The amazing team of Nepal Everest base camp again made this even more special and memorable.
