Best Trek in Nepal
2017
From my childhood, I want to visit Nepal and Finally I made a plan to go Nepal. My friend was in touch with Nepal dream path Treks Company. He had already visited Nepal many times with this company. He suggests me this company and I have to say they were absolutely amazing. Their friendly behavior makes me feel happy and comfortable during the Trek. We enjoyed a lot with our guide Rajan and Tek who is the porter in our entire trek. If you are looking for a guide for Nepal I would highly recommend this Company.
