No body wants to spend only half and hour in waterfall after making so many efforts to reach there. Try to make a group of 10-12 people with all your volunteers. Atleast people will know whom to follow. Introduction part was not that interesting as you just ask their name. No background of their profession and interest in trekking. Few people travel in group to find someone who can be a good travel partner. If you taking a trip at night. You should understand not all people are teenagers. Few of them are coming with you after finishing the office hours. Let them take rest rather than cheering up so that they can save their energy for the trek. Food was really good. Keep it up Volunteers were friendly Overall it was good.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.mahi ve2023-08-02It was a day of exhilarating experiences and breathtaking landscapes as I embarked on a thrilling trek with the LiveB4YouDie Trekking Group. From the moment we set foot on the trail until the very end, every step was filled with joy, and a sense of accomplishment. Our journey began early in the morning as we gathered at the meeting point. The LiveB4YouDie team greeted us with warm smiles, introductions, and a thorough briefing about the day's itinerary and safety measures. Right from the start, it was evident that we were in good hands with experienced guides and enthusiastic fellow trekkers. The trek tested our physical endurance, but the LiveB4YouDie team ensured that the pace was comfortable for everyone. They motivated us with encouraging words, and whenever someone needed a break, they patiently waited, making sure no one was left behind. The support and encouragement from the group members created a strong sense of unity, and we felt like one big family. During our journey, we encountered various challenges, including rocky terrains, steep ascents, and slippery trails. But overcoming each obstacle brought a sense of achievement that is hard to put into words. The LiveB4YouDie team's expertise in guiding us through these difficulties was truly commendable. The highlight of the trek was undoubtedly reaching the summit. The panoramic views from the top were awe-inspiring, and it felt like we were on top of the world. The sense of accomplishment and the bond we had formed as a group made the experience more meaningful. The LiveB4YouDie team surprised us with a delicious and well-deserved feast of local cuisine, which we enjoyed while sharing laughter, and swapping stories. LiveB4YouDie Trekking Group had given us an unforgettable adventure, and we had made memories that will last a lifetime. I am grateful to have shared this experience with such an amazing group of people and talented guides. Thank you, LiveB4YouDie, for making this trek a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
