    We covered the highlights, so that was great. Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, the group resolved them in a timely manner. The tour guides were kind, and Maya in Pokhara was exceptional. My only suggestion would be to review the itinerary in detail before the trip to make sure the pace aligns with your expectations.
