May 8, 2018 at 2:43 pmGreat experience of Nepal with MTN
Thanks to Bharat for organizing my trip to Everest Base Camp so well – from the pickup at the airport to the drop off.
Lovely staff in the hotel, very clean rooms and great breakfast.
For EBC I had a Porter-Guide from Lukla. During the Trek Bharat stayed in touch and would try everything to make it a good trip. Even when I hurt my knee and couldn’t walk anymore for one day he changed the flight back to Kathmadu so I could add one extra day of Trekking.
Also the price is very reasonable and they offer budget packages for people like me who travel on a low budget. And they made me feel safe all the time which is very important to me as I am a female solo traveler.
When I come back to Nepal for Trekking I will choose this company again.
Cheers, Lisa!
