“A+ Tour Guide”
Mr. Badri was incredible. I had booked a trek + city tours plan for my professor from Thailand. What impressed me about him was his genuine humility and care for his client. My professor who went solo trip with him was very impressed by his trekking nicety, sharing interesting facts and stories that brought the place to life. I'm sure it left a positive remark about Nepal on him. If you're looking for a top-notch tour guide who is informative, kind and personable, then Mr. Badri is your guy! Highly recommend!
