One of the best decisions of our life to go with this activity and operator. Anandraj and his team were super helpful in planning and coordinating the itenary. Me and my wife had a lovely time up in the mountains. Our guide Bishnu was one of the friendliest and understanding person we’ve ever come across. He kept us safe and cheered us up throughout the way. He is a great personality and we highly recommend to ask for him specifically. He can truly transform your experience and a great company to have. We will be doing more activities with this company due to the start of a great relationship we feel.
