Amazing experience and excellent service - Couldn’t be happier with my Nepal experience. Ihad a short trip to Nepal and was looking for a hiking experience combined with getting to know Nepalese culture in the meantime. The trip exceeded my expectations! I did thehike to Nagarkotwith an overnight stay to see the sunrise (eventhough we had terrible luck with the visibility) The company was extremely helpful when my flight was rescheduled and adjusted the itinerary, the owner even came to my hostel the night before to made sure everything was ok and to answer my questions. My guide was simply THE BEST, I had a million questions and he answered each and every one of them and had the best conversation. Rajesh was extremely knowledgeable and also kind and fun to be with. He adapted the itinerary to my preferences and was able to keep up with my excessive talking ;) We hiked after visiting several temples and sites, once the hike started we stopped at multiple sites. My favorite is a small temple at the top of a hill where an amazing Baba lives, he’s the friendliest and most interesting man! Overall, great experience and even better service! 100% recommended!
