BTW do you have any previous experience of trekking with yhai?

I personally do not have any with YHAI, but I have friends who have done few trekking expeditions with YHAI including Sandakphu- Gurdum.

so they gave you good feedbacks?

Yes, the feedback are excellent. As per my friends, the quality/ services etc. as provided by the YHAI is excellent especially comparing to the price they charge.

I will definitely share my experience once I have it.

what is the total expenditure?

Rs4000 from base camp to base camp (Darjeeling to Darjeeling) including accommodation, veg food, guide, entry fees, insurance etc.
