A great 11 days in Nepal from Kathmandu to Pokhara and Bardia. Prakash our driver and Mohan our guide were excellent very knowledgeable and easy to talk to alongside being a very good driver, my Mum sometimes gets travel sick but had no issues on the trip. Prakash was always on time or on the one occasion traffic held him up he kept us informed which wasn't a problem anyway. Mohan was always incredibly polite and accommodating, we really couldn't have asked for a better guide.
The trip avoided tourist traps and we really felt we saw the 'real' Nepal alongside seeing the history and not missing any highlights of Bardia and Pokhara. The Rapti river rafting was fantastic, lovely, and resorts with homely environment, particularly Jungle safari in Bardia was our favourite. While on Pokhara Sandeep our local guides was knowledgeable and friendly showing us the highlights of Pokhara and Sarangkot. Be prepared to bargain with the shop keepers to get a good deal near lake sides. I kept my promise by bringing my mom with me in my second visit to Nepal.
Thank you Travel Pinto for making my holiday to Nepal great again. We hope to return one day again and see other parts of the country and would certainly recommend Travel Pinto.
