FIRST TIME TREKKING & Lovely tour!

I've never tried trekking before so was pretty scared at first. But our guide was excellent in leading the way, providing me all the tools I need and he also showed me the best features of all the routes I went through! Can't wait to get my friends to try this tour sometime!
