                                    5 weeks in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan

                                    I started looking at a simple Trekking Holiday in Nepal and after finding Outfitter Nepal's website and getting "good vibes" talking to them we eventually decided to go the "Whole Hog" and booked a 1 month holiday with them including the overland trip to Lhasa from Kathmandu, a 5 day trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill and an 8 night tour of Bhutan, plus free days in Kathmandu for us to explore the valley by ourselves.

                                    Arjun who does all the email communications was fantastic, prepared to adjust the itinerary to suit our needs, for instance we dropped travelling to Chitwan to have more days in Bhutan, and added destinations in Bhutan that weren't on their website.

                                    Before we were due to leave Australia, they notified us the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu was closing an dour Tibet portion of the tour was at risk, but we changed our arrival to a day early and they readjusted the Tibet and Nepal portions so it all went ahead.

                                    Raj who looks after you on arrival and throughout is also fantastic, making sure all is organised. I could write forever, but its easiest to say, each part of our holiday went well, the guides and drivers were lovely, good english and took care of out every need. The accommodation was very good.

                                    I think Outfitter's are a very professional well run company that takes pride in looking after their customers, do yourself a favour and book with them.
