I came to know abt Adventure Vision from my Bgd Frn, who have had a experience with this company already and he was spot on. Myself and a group of Londoner’s have decided to took a day tour to ktm valley and experience was awesome. Jiven a tour guider and his own green plate vehicle hover us around ktm included all the re known and historical places. All in all it was a brilliant day out with so much of experiences man. And I recommend this company if you really want to know the depth of Kathmandu Nepal.

We only had a driver who always dropped us off and we had to move there alone without comment.The driver did not know what to visit, first he said only 2 places, even though the program was 4, finally took us to 3 places. In Pasupatinatn told us to go with a guide, we thought he was part of the trip, but he wanted $ 10. Terrible experience. I didn't even apologize when I wrote everything to the agency manager
