Always in safe hands 2017

Always in safe hands

It was the first time to be in Nepal with my wife as part of a small group. Our 1,5 week's holiday was completely organized and managed by Madan Neupane including hotels, restaurants, buses and a 5 day trekking tour in the mountains. I could mention the many great experiences and sites we enjoyed through but I want now to say a big BRAVO to him and his team behind.

Wherever we went, whatever we did , however we travelled, we always felt very secure and safe. Besides Madan, also his sherpa team was continuously at hand and they were really looking for every occasion to help us - not only with the overweight luggages. And most importantly: always with a smile! This is something that we appreciated maybe the most in the team and can just recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy a successful but secure trip in this fairy-tale part of the world.

Date of experience: March 2017
