Wonderfull hospitality from Thamel hostel host who has offered my sister and me few trekking options. Before we accepted the offer (which was, btw., the best one we got from more agencies), we were introduced to the guide Anjan whom we immediately liked and agreed to do the trekking with him. Friendly, clever, eloquent and funny guide, who cared about us probably more than even our mother would, and still so highly professional that he managed to make us feel like royalty. We learned from him hi... See more story, customs and language of Nepal. Thank you for everything, and see you deffinitely again in the future. Simply unforgettable experience! See less...
