I had a fantastic time with Nepal Eco Adventure. We were fortunate enough to have the best guides who placed our safety above all else. Ram and Nikhil were so fun to be around, made every step of the way as enjoyable as possible and were very attentive to our needs. I was really impressed by how organised everything was. Nothing but great things to say about this trip. An unforgettable experience.
