We did two back-to-back treks with Fabian in Oct - Nov 2023, the Singalila Ridge traverse in Sikkim and the Three Passes Trek in Nepal. Fabian organized a fantastic trip. Fabian speaks English very well, allowing us to have interesting conversations throughout the seven weeks we were together. We highly recommend Fabian for both these trips in the Himalayas.
