Surya certainly helped make our trip to Nepal memorable. Traveling to Nepal in July with only a 4 day window to fly and land on EBC, the monsoon weather only made coordinating it more challenging. Nevertheless, Surya made it happen! From the time I first contacted him 6 months prior until the conclusion of our trip, Surya was always prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he put our safety as a priority rather than earning a profit. He gave me a daily briefing and weather update including conditions at the EBC so I know what to expect and if it is unsafe to proceed. This was important to me since I was traveling with my wife and young children. I was very satisfied with the quality of the service I received that I would absolutely use their services again. Kudos, Surya and your team!
