    Great Experience with Himalayan Scenery treks

    We had Mr Amar Magar as our guide during our 4 day holiday from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and onwards to Ghorepani and Poonhill.
    It was a group of six and our experience was doubly enjoyable due to the excellent services of Amar. He was friendly, punctual , knowledgable and everything you’d want from a guide.
    We would highly recommend this service to anyone planning a trekking trip in this region.
