We truly enjoyed our 15 days trip with Bharal Adventure. They were a great team, knowledgeable, gracious and are very helpful, their experience showed through when we were up in the ABC trek and our accommodation was secured and well organized. A big thanks to our guide "Suraj Dhakal" & his team which made the whole trek incredibly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone going to Nepal.
