1 review for Essential Nepal

  1. Stach

    If you want to see countries like the ones we went to, or other countries you have been dreaming about, consider doing it the way we did it.

    All we had to do was tell Trip Connoisseurs what we wanted to see, and they set up the private tour for us.

    They also gave us suggestions of other sites that we should include in the tour.

    Our trip included the Angkor Temples in Cambodia, Bangkok, North-Central India, and Nepal (including a flight to Mount Everest).

    This is an excellent, if not the best way to see the world.

    Mr. & Mrs. Stach – Edmonton
