What people love about Himalaya Mountains Tours for Seniors
TourRadar in conjunction with their local partner, worldtourplan.com created a memorable experience for us. It was a great mix between culture with visits to temples and monasteries, nature walks, festivals and interactive with our wonderful guide, Kimley Tenzin. Sunita even provided local costumes for us to participate in the festivities for the black neck crane festival. I highly recommend this team.
Bhutan - The Hidden Kingdom
- Chisapani Nagarkot Trek
Great views, but the trek is a bit tougher than the material suggests (over 1K climb on day one). Accommodation on the first night is friendly but very basic. It gets very cold. Our guide was nice but his English was limited and hence so was the information provided on the trek.
- Short Annapurna Base Camp Trekking
We had an amazing adventure doing the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with local guide and porter, Shiva and Dikman this spring! Laxman, local coordinator, organized a wonderful trip for us in Nepal. We highly recommend this local company!
