Hi Tilak,
Thank you for arranging our trekking adventure. Everything was well-coordinated.
One recommendation for future planning: It might be helpful to assess the physical condition of clients for trek durations. We felt we could have trekked an additional 3-4 hours daily, which would have allowed us to visit places like Tilicho lake.
That said, everything else was superb. I look forward to another trip to Nepal and will surely reach out to you for arrangements.

Super satisfied with Nepal Hiking and i would highly recommend it to anyone. Bhairam is great person. He waited for me at the airport when i arrived, and greeted me with welcome. The whole trip we had was well organised, we had great guides, and a lot of fun. He was interested in knowing how are we during our trek, so he sent occasional messages. Great organisation!
