Traveller Review
5.0 Rating out of 5 based on 146 ReviewsAn unforgettable journey to ABC
I joined Wildman's tour to Nepal for ABC trekking at the end of March, and during the trekking we were taken well care of by Nepal Intrepid Treks and Expedition. The local guides are professional, friendly and always know what we need before we ask for help, and the porters are honest and reliable. I believe that without their hard work, it is impossible for me to complete this amazing journey. A month has passed, the towering mountains, the blooming azaleas and the guides and porters’ dedication to their work are still vivid in my memory and it seems like only yesterday. Highly recommended!
Amazing Experience!
We had a pleasant journey during 8-day trekking from Poon Hill to ABC with Nepal Intrepid Treks and Expedition. All their staffs are friendly and helpful through always.Highly recommended!
