Ich war 9 Tage in der Langtang Region mit meinem Guide Indra unterwegs. Ein wirklich sehr erfahrener und aufmerksamer Guide. Alles war organisiert und ich musste mich nur um das Laufen kümmern. Ich werde ganz sicher meine nächste Tour durch Nepal und das Himalaya Gebirge wieder bei diese Agentur buchen.

We had an excellent experience with Dev as a guide for the Langtang Valley 8 days trek.
He was really nice to us and really attentive to our needs. He adapted well to our pace during the day and kept us motivated the whole trip. We had interesting conversations and he was really professional when we had to handle some small uncomfortable situations. We believe that he has a plus compared to other guides. We definitely recommend him for your trek.
