Couldn't recommend Rabi and his team more highly. They were highly professional and quick to reply to queries from the outset, and put together a great itinerary for us to fit with the time we had in Nepal. You would struggle to find a more knowledgeable guide than Rabi to show you around Kathmandu, Bakhtapur and Lalitpur, he gave us a brilliant insight into everything from architecture to history and the religious symbolism behind the different temples we visited. Our trekking days were similarly well organised, with a really friendly and professional guide and porter. The whole trip was excellent value for money , and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rabi's organisation to anyone looking to visit Nepal. - Elly Moreton - Uk
