What people love about Himalaya Mountains Tours from Kathmandu
It was a very nice tour and very well organized. Even before I arrived there was very nice contact with the organizer Rana, who responded quickly to inquiries. And then I had a very good guide with Rudra Dhoj Weiba. He always motivated me, also with humor, because at a hight over 4000 meters it was very exhausting for me. And he was not only a guide, but also a "doctor" when I had a cold. :) I can highly recommend Adventure Himalayan Travels and the Guide Rubra Dhoj Waiba and last but not least: the price-performance ratio is also very good.
