Testimonials from Attendees on our previous Nepal Spiritual Adventure Trip
Daya Underwood Nepal is a beautiful country and the Poonhill hike is certainly a wonderful setting where one can get in touch with their inner being and deeply reflect on life and its blessings in a big way. I am grateful for this experience and thank JOD for having organized the trip. As the “out-of-shape” participant mentioned in the 2018 travel blog, I promise to aim for a higher level of fitness should I join you in future trekking adventures... Namaste. |
