Unique experience in Nepal

Himalayas, have always been a fascinating destination and Nepal, the kingdom of mountains have been attracting adventure seekers since ages. I personally am a big admirer myself of these snow clad peaks and whenever I get a chance I vist my first choice is mountains. Nepal has always been a land of fascination for me, a place where one can be so close to Lord Shiva; The Pashupati Nath Temple in Kathmandu is one of the biggest pilgrimage center for Shaivites and also Nepal is one of the two gateways to Kailash and Manasarovar pilgrimage. Its always an adventure going in to deep areas and heights on Himalayas. Though I love taking risks but its always advisable to take help of the locals while visiting Nepal Himalayas. Last time when I was in Nepal to go closer to Mt Everest, I took the Everest Base Camp trek. So as advised by my friends and others who have been to this trek earlier, I decided to visit the offices of the local operator in Kathmandu. I was very happy and satisfied when I met the people at the operator's office they seemed like thorough professionals. This operator is well known for organising and handling treks and trips in the most professional and dedicated way. It is a well established company in tourism industry of Nepal and is owned by experienced personals of Nepal tourism. The have an clear idea of the dos and donts in the mountains. They are a team of professional trekking guides, tour guides, mountain leaders who provide the best services. They are registered and licensed as per govt. of Nepal and are registered as member of TAAN, PATA, and NATA etc. They deal in various services like Trekking, Hikings, Peak climbings, Cultural tours, River rafting, jungle safari, domestic and international ticketing, hotel reservation, visa services and many more for the destination Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. They take care of all the arrangements needed to have a wonderful experience and take back memories that will last for the lifelong. And finally when I took the trek package and reached the base camp, it was more than satisfaction and happiness. I felt like as if I have already climbed the Everest. The guides and porters were extremely helpful and experienced. Personally I would rate This agency as one of the best companies in Nepal, and feel that for a person visiting Nepal, this operator is a must.
