They really went above and beyond to ensure we had an epic journey, from making sure we had all our needs met, to celebrating special occasions, to making sure we had the closest table to the warm stove!

That was the most beautiful trekking I’ve ever done! Diverse landscapes, amazing and very kind people all over the path, incredible weather, and no words will be enough to describe the work that Shyam and Nigma delivered.

The guide was very knowledgeable, competent, and looked after our well-being by conducting nightly oxygen and heart rate checks (some companies don’t do this). They were flexibile with our plans and at the pace we trekked.

VonKathmandu was recommended by contacts at the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu and did not disappoint. Dakshina was amazing, communicating with me in Germany to design a customized solo trekking experience tailored to my limited timeline.

While on the actual hike through farmlands and the countryside, our guides were very kind about hanging back with me when I was out of breath and needed a moment to rest.
