I had an outstanding experience with iTour Nepal for my solo trip to Halesi caves (spiritual trip). From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Pre-Trip Planning:Rabi was fantastic in the planning phase - he offered competitive pricing and was incredibly attentive to my specific needs. He thoughtfully assisted in arranging the accommodation at a local hotel within walking distance of the caves, which made my visit so much easier.
