Santi was a wonderful tour guide- we had a fantastic day exploring, and even saw the Royal Kumari, which was an amazing opportunity. There was no question that Santi couldn’t answer, and I felt like I learned an incredible amount about the history, architecture, and religious significance of the sites we visited. The communication from Himalayan Planet Adventures was also great, with detailed instructions from my guide before pickup about what to bring, and what the expected weather forecast was. Thank you, Santi, for a memorable day!
