Excellent trip!!

I took group from the USA to Nepal. All travel was arranged by Trekking Team Group, owned by Shreehari. He is amazing. Everytime I sent him an email, I got a response within hours. He met our group in Kathmandu airport & all arrangements were flawless. Not only did he take my recommendations for hotels, but made his own recommendations . He also visited these hotels & told the managers to look after us. While there, he took the time to meet us for breakfast just to ensure that all was going well. He is very good, plus VERY knowledgeable about Nepal. I strongly recommend him

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.

What makes this trip different ?
