Everything went smoothly and Achut was always in touch and met up everyday. KK the guide in Kathmandu was nice and friendly, gave all information patiently. Cado, the guide in Bhutan was wonderful, very efficient and professional. Accomodation and food in Bhutan was very good. No problems at all in Kathmandu either. Transport was good. I highly recommend Manakamana Treks to anyone who is interested in this itinerary.Show more
