Chepang Village Tour with Himalayan Smile Treks felt like a real cultural trip, not just a staged thing. Our guide Lakpa Sherpa was kind, and also pretty knowledgeable, he explained a lot without rushing. We stayed right in the village and met local families, and somehow that made it all more grounded.
