Nepal Tour with World Alpine Treksks

One of my best tours with a guide that understood me and delivered my wishes. From start to finish our guide Deepak never left us and was most obliging when asked to do something out of his way or arrange a quick alternative to the scheduled tour without a fuss. Always smiled and willing. My tour started in Kathmandu to Chitwan and Pokara and back. Deepak tried twice to get us to see Mt Everest by air but due to weather conditions we couldn't. That was dissapointing but that calls for another trip with this fantastic guide. The choices of Hotels and food outlets were good for the price we paid. On the whole I would strongly recommend World Alpine trek to be your guide. Amazing Nepal
