On Everest Base Camp Trek
“The ART Experince was truly artistic Our guide Dilman and our porter Mr Cow were incredible, insanely valuable additions to our trek and couldn't have done it without them. Always conscious of our needs and safety and were sneaking us extra blankets as required left right and centre. Absolutely no notes, thoroughly recommend Alpine for anything you're considering, boss Mr Dil was checking in throughout too. Loved it.”
