This was one of the most breath taking scene Iβve ever seen it was really a surreal experience for me and i would love to be back again and again although i was sad that we were not able to reach kanalig village because of heavy snow the road is dangerous but nonetheless the rest of the tour was enough for me to say this tour is the best especially to our private driver ramil, youβre the best!

Being able to vist Guba is like living inside a painting. It was so beautiful seeing the snow on top of the mountains, branches of trees covered in white and snow sparkling from the ground. Itβs surreal and even the pictures i took doesnβt justify the reality of its beauty. Thank you so much to Ramir for driving us safely there! Lei A November 28, 2019
