Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experience with Bishnu’s Agency
Rating:
I had an incredible experience with Bishnu and his agency! I reached out to him just one month before my trip to Nepal, and he organized everything in just a couple of days. Bishnu was attentive, keeping me updated throughout the planning process and ensuring every detail was in place. In Kathmandu, he arranged for a highly experienced and professional guide. For two days. I enjoyed a personalized city tour in a private car. For the trekking, 9 days to Annapurna Base Camp, my guide, Keshab, with more than 20 years of experience, was absolutely exceptional. He was not only professional and knowledgeable but also brought a sense of fun and positivity that made a huge difference in the mountains. If I return to Nepal, I’ll definitely rely on Bishnu’s agency again. Thank you, Bishnu, for making this trip unforgettable!

Marvelous trek with an excellent guide
Rating:
Bishnu Aryal is a stellar guide and a beautiful person. I climbed Annapurna Base Camp with his great crew and enjoyed a marvelous trek with a small group. Bishnu makes apt decisions along the trail, freely imparts his vast cultural knowledge, and ensures the health, safety, and happiness of each trekker. I wish him prosperity and many gratifying treks to come.
