Everest Experience Trekking and Chitwan National Park tour
My husband and I chose to take a visit to the Himalayas for our 40th anniversary. Our trip was planned by Visit Himalaya Treks. I never worried about any of the details like hotels, transportation to and from airports, plane rides to and from Kathmandu, restaurants, trekking trips, or our over packed luggage. Raj was our tour guide and took care of everything for us. He especially noticed I was the weak link in the group and stayed close to me in case I fell. He anticipated our every need. This was the best trip we have taken in our 40 years of marriage. Thumbs up for Raj and Visit Himalay Treks.
