Just recently finished a fantastic 12 days trekking using Imperial Nepal. This experience was excellent.
Our guide, Hari Amgai, was funny, caring, and always positive. He went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to making sure we were comfortable and feeling okay ascending the mountain. His knowledge of the area definitely made for an insightful journey. If you decide to reserve a trip, go with Hari hands down!!!
Paras, our Trek Manager, was very organized and communicative through all stages of the planning of the trip.
Overall, I would recommend Imperial Nepal to my closest friends and family -- simply a wonderful experience!
