“Best Nepalese Experience You Can Get!”

“Best Nepalese Experience You Can Get!”

Rating: Review Date : October 10, 2014

Recently my wife and I returned from 15 months backpacking around the world, and our most amazing adventure was in the Nepalese Himalayas where we eloped! But this was all possible thanks to Durga and his absolutely wonderful advice that he gave. This guy would have to be the friendliest man we met in all of our journey, and his advice and knowledge of the area is absolutely amazing. Thanks to him, we had the time of our lives. The effort he went to to ensure that we had the best time possible, was beyond what I had expected.

I'm being very honest here - if you want to have a spectacular time in Nepal, go see him at Mount Trails. You will not regret it, and the service you'll receive is found nowhere else.

I recommend this 10/10!!

There is normally no electric lighting in the rooms unless the village has hydroelectric power.
