I highly recommend this local travel specialist! We had a wonderful experience. Thinley was very accommodating to our needs- even last minute changes. Our guide, Lhab, was very knowledgeable and he and our drivers were delightful to spend time with. I cannot say enough good things.
I am not used to traveling on a fixed tour, but I really appreciated everything I saw and experienced. Finishing with the hike to the Tigress Nest was a perfect way to conclude the trip.
