Overall rating

4.8 / 5

based on 11 reviews

I gave 5-stars to support our guide who was amazing and extremely accommodating. That being said, I do not feel that this tour was listed accurately as a beginner tour with the expectation of climbing up multiple mountains and over three hours of ascent. That being said there were Nepali elderly and children on our trek so I understand why there might have been confusion. This tour, coming from someone who is newer to hiking and lives at sea-level, was advanced and as such, we had to end our trip a full day early as we physically could not proceed further in a reasonably safe manner. Our guide was extremely helpful in helping us return to Pokhara due to these limitations a day ahead of schedule.

A light tour where all the must see attractions were covered. Our tour guide named Moti was knowledgeable and had a good customer service. Answer to all our questions on the sites and about Nepal in general.

Amazing trip with Air Dynasty Heli Services! Great people, experienced pilots! Thank you, Get Your Guide!
