100% recommend them! Knowledgeable, responsive, offering good advice and customized options for anyone! Moreover- really kind and warm people who take good care of you. If you are looking for a trekking agency in Nepal- definitely get in touch with them. I have done 1 trip with them and currently in the process of planning another one. Could not be happier!

Excellent tour. Wonderful time. Our guide, Sagar, spoke English very well and was extremely knowledgable on many subjects. He was really good at understanding when we wanted more information and when we just wanted to walk. Not long into the tour we were joking and laughing with him. The walk was relaxing, but the day was hazy so no view of the mountains. Great time anyway!

The most memorable part of this trip was the visit of the beautiful Narayan temple, accompanied by Lila (?), my lovely guide, very knowledgeable and open to exchange full of insights and reflection about society, religious and personal points of view. Thank you!

The track was wonderful. We got to see the Himalayan mountains, walked through villages, and our guide, Shikhar was excellent.

Our guide Sekhar was brilliant…friendly, approachable and had plenty of local knowledge. The only thing I will like to highlight is that it is unlikely to last whole day..5-6 hrs maximum. Hike is not that difficult but is picturesque winding around a hill and local village. Lunch is not included in the cost! Which makes the trip a bit pricy…. Including local lunch would be a better value for money.

It is an Easy trek , mostly downhill. I ran 9.5 km , the food was strictly ok , you have to pay for the drinks and coffee. The guide was good . The trek end at the Changu Narayan Temple. Do wear trekking shoes and carry your own water and some snacks

This was a really fun hike. I was worried that I might find it difficult but actually it was really fun and had some beautiful views. Shekhar, our guide, was very knowledgable, had excellent English and was very helpful. I would highly recommend this beautiful hike!
