“Pradeep and Ravi did a great job taking us on a wonderful trek on the outskirts of Kathmandu. They were very caring, always smiling, preparing coffee for us when we arrived at the sunrise point and from there our 15km hike to Changi Narayan Temple started. We didn’t have any expectations, we just wanted to see some of the jungle and country side around Kathmandu and the scenery were awesome. We walked through small villages, spoke with some locals, crossed through some jungles (and many hills up and down) which was a great exercise combined with some good views of the Himalayans mountains along the way. Pradeep knew a lot…”
