One of my best experiences

Narayan Dai was pretty good with the services he provided, one of the best travel guides for sure. I went on a Chispani Nagarkot Trek and the experiences that I got were spectacular!

It’s a Interesting tour.

Booked for the Bhaktapur a day tour with discover Altitude and we were very satisfied with the service. The car was clean and comfortable and especially our guide Kumar with great knowledge about Nepal's history made our tour interesting. He knew all about each temple and square we visited.

A fantastic guide, an amazing Trek

WOW is all I can say about Ace. Udaya was an amazing guide and was perfect throughout the entire trek. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything that I needed from gear to travel. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused him to both works into the night to get a resolution. Of course, being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.

I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊
