I had the best time with Mrs May, it was just me and her on the tour and she made me feel very comfortable. We went on a trek to collect some medicinal leaves and then I had the herbal bath which was so relaxing :) would 100% recommend

I was really satisfied with this trip, the organizer was professional and flexible, the homestay was very friendly, the scenery was beautiful. The herbal bath was quite hot but worth a try, I really enjoyed it.
