Mardi Himal and Poonhill trek with RNT

During the trek, they took very good care of us. Along the way, it is always with laughter that we talk a lot and when we are having a difficult time climbing up the mountain, he always cheers us up and waits for us. He made sure we were in good condition and gave us information about the hike. Moreover, the teahouses they arranged are very nice. They are always there to help us with meals and drinks, making sure we are comfortable and have a good rest. We are super thankful and grateful to have Basu and his team along the way and without their assistance, we couldn't make it to the viewpoint! They provide excellent service to us not only during the hike, but also in arranging our transport before/ after the hike, pick up upon arrival, and prompt response whenever we need help or have inquiries. I highly recommend them and once again, thank you for an unforgettable hiking experience in Nepal!
