Client Reviews

Unforgettable Nepal - Bhutan tour

I got a recommendation from my boss, who did ABC trek with Outfitter Nepal in 2012. Our tour was both cultural exploring and trekking oriented. We had numerous requests to be fulfilled by Outfitter Nepal during planning period.

They built perfect itinerary which covered all our wishes. Although the itinerary was packed with activities and travelling everything worked like a swiss watch! Accurate pickups and transfers, convenient accommodations, lovely treks, infinite attractions, great local food and, of course, excellent team. We really enjoyed this tour.

Recommend going to Nepal with Outfitter Nepal. Good value for money. Dreams come true with professionals!
