    The local explore tour leader was excellent he shared so much knowledge with us and helped in so many ways. On the trip itself, I loved the white water rafting and the stay at jungle island resort.

    I'm a 66 year old grieving, recent widower wondering what life will hold in the future. This trip has been important, even the upsetting cremations at the Hindu Temple at Pashupatinath.

    The trek was amazing and I would have liked another day �� the free day in Pokhara was appreciated perhaps a little less time in Kathmandu would be better. Great trip, enhanced by the guide, many thanks

    The trekking itself was too moderate for me. Of course, there is Annapurna Sancturay, which would be more challenging, but this trekking is 9 days, which makes you miss other aspects of nepal, which would be a pitty. So a tour with a not-so-many-days-trekking, that is more challenging would be great.
