Everest View Trek - 8 Days
Melinda Jani, Ireland

I and my boyfriend booked 4 days Everest View Trek with Amazing Nepal Trek and Expedition. The trek was extremely well organized, the porters and guide were fantastic and we were well looked after. There were groups with other well known international organizations and I always felt we had a better team, more friendly and more responsive to our needs. And we were supporting a local Nepalese company that cares for the guides and porters and the places we visited. 
I would highly recommend Amazing Nepal Trek and Expedition and Mr Santosh and will use them again. If you use them I can assure you will not be disappointed as Santosh takes all customers as personal friends and wants them all to have a great and safe trip.
