CLIENTS REVIEW

What our customers say about us

reliable and nice drivers

At the start of our Nepal trip, we were already awaited at the airport by the friendly drivers of Mountain Trekkers. The way to our hotel was also a small “round trip” as our taxi driver told us many cultural and historical things about Kathmandu. Later in the day, we discussed our plans for the trip with Ramesh and he advised us with tips and beautiful places to visit. His drivers reliably took us to various places and picked us up again the next day. We also covered long distances to Chitwan with one of his drivers.
When we had to cancel the last tour for personal reasons, we got the corresponding refund from Ramesh.
On our next holiday in Nepal we will certainly book a whole trekking adventure.
Many thanks to Ramesh for the time in Nepal 🙂
