I have visited Brahmatal recently and this is my solo trip. I also was very pleased with the professional manners and help provided throughout all time I was trekking. Our guide was excellent and proved a very good knowledge of the mountain, very sociable and patient, as not all from the group moved as fast as the others. The rhythm was set by the slowest of us. Overall, it was a very good experience and I would recommend the company to anyone who wants try this.
