    Excellent experience

    Our first experience with Pink Mountain Travel was excellent and not unexpected given that they came highly recommended by good friends. Preparations were flexible with prompt responses and actual execution flawless in terms of transport, accommodation, etc. Yadab, one of the owners and our guide this trip is indeed very knowledgeable about Nepali culture and society and that added extra delight. Both guide and porter were non intrusive but very observant and we were well taken care of. E.g. they encouraged us to leave early and egged us on one day, only to get us into our accommodation for the day before a big hailstorm hit and its great to be in knowledgeable hands like that, especially for those new to Nepal or the mountains. In short, highly recommended!
