My friends and i took the trip twice with Mr.Bharat in Nepal. 1st time to Poonhill . It was so amazing and so much fun. Bharat guided us professionally and at the same time felt like walking and talking with friend. He took good care & concern for our safety as priority. We are so much impressed and definitely used his service again when we were back again to ABC. And he never failed us. If there is third time.. i will certainly choose him as my guide
