Client Reviews
Dave, Australia“Best 2 days Hiking closed to Kathmandu”
Reviewed on: 23 Nov, 2024
I was in Nepal with a group of friends in November 2024. We didn’t have enough time for a long trek, but we decided to do this 2-day hike and found the package to be perfect for experiencing local villages, mountains, a water dam, waterfalls, jungle walks, and beautiful hiking around Kathmandu. I highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for a shorter but memorable experience in Nepal.
The owner, Pasang, guided us personally and arranged for us to stay in a lovely lodge in Chisapani. Throughout the trek, he shared valuable insights into Nepalese culture, traditions, religion, politics, and much more. We are already looking forward to doing a longer trek with his company next year.
