    It was easy to deal with Ram Barakoti on the arrangement of the return car private transfer from Pokhara to kathmandu. Driver was punctual and the ride was still bearable despite the road condition. Overall I am happy with the arrangement. Thanks!

    Would definitely recommend. Ram Barakoti and his team kept us well informed throughout our lovely journey both in and out if the mountains and they were super friendly. Not only did my family and I feel valued, but also all the staff (guide, porters, admin etc).

    Manaslu is a great, less heavily trafficked route, with the opportunity to get a more intimate perspective on life in the Himalayas.

    This was an amazing trek. My guide, Gelu Sherpa, was the best. He was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious, and we became good friends over the 8 days of the trek. Count yourself lucky if you get to trek with Gelu Sherpa Guide.
