Ericmil, USA - July 2013
It was a great trip when we were in Nepal last July. The team member at pathfinder was so supportive and knowledgeable on the things what they been doing, they are very professional on their job. Overall services were great and it was worth of the price what we were paying, however they were cheaper than other agency in Kathmandu. They are fully government registered so no need to worry about anything while book the trip with them. If there is any one would like to make trip to Nepal, Bhutan and other destination nearby, you are highly recommended to use this agency. read more
