Best trip to experience overall Nepal. We group of 6 people family booked this trip to experience overall glimpses of Nepal and we really enjoyed this trip. We experienced Nepali culture, food, people and places. One day Everest experience flight was more adventurous. It was really scenic flight to see Everest. Hiking of Dhampus village gave us an opportunity to experience local village, had conversations with people. Our kid really enjoyed more than us. Our guide Arjun was knowledgeable and made our trip worthy. Shree helped us in booking procedure as well as guide us to make this trip worthy. Overall, those who want to experience Nepal then this trip is one which gives wonderful experience of Nepal.Show more
