    Glad we had Anjan

    We decided to trek to EBC and enlisted aspiration adventure to organize our flights to lulka and our helicopter flight from gorakshep, we unfortunately got sick in Namche and needed a quick escape. Anjan was our agent and was honestly was a god send. He reorganized our helicopter ride from namche within an hour, picked us up from the airport and looked after us like his own family. What a legend, if you are considering doing a trek you need Anjan on your side! He was our insurance and friend all in one.
