Angie from Eyes on Nepal was very professional with speedy and detailed email and message replies.
Ram Kumar, our guide, was very professional, experienced, knowledge, patient, and flexible. He assisted us throughout the trek, he especially assisted our mother as it was more challenging for her. Alongside with our guide, the porters (Nar and Chandra) were very helpful and professional, acting as both porter and guide at times. Without Ram and the porters assisting and encouraging us, completing the Mardi Himal Trek would have been almost impossible.
When my husband sprained his ankle on the second day, Ram and the porters jumped in to help with pain relief and further assistance with carrying his bags.
Angie, Ram and team exceeded our expectations, they went well and above to make our trekking journey enjoyable and comfortable.
Overall a very well organised and professional service. Highly recommended trek for those that want a very close view of the fishtail and Annapurna south mountains. The trek was very challenging but worth the view. It is definitely an experience of the life time and Eyes on Nepal made it memorable.
