    Pink Mountain tour of Nepal

    During a work trip to China, I was able to sneak away for a short tour of Nepal. With one day of notice, Pink Mountain tours was able to put together a custom itinerary for me including a gifted tour guide and driver.

    Over three days, we covered three places: Pokhara, Bandipur and Ramkot. Each trip offered a unique look into the rich and diverse traditions—and contemporary changes—of Nepali culture.

    My guide, Yadab, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. Given my short timeframe, when the weather didn’t cooperate one day, we were able to quickly change the itinerary from mountain heights to a local village tour.

    I was blown away by the level of service and flexibility offered by Pink Mountain, and was deeply inspired by all the work they have done for the LGBTQ community in Nepal. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
