I had a great experience with iTour Nepal. I contacted them the day before hoping to travel and Rabi responded to me immediately that it was no problem and he could make it work! He made sure to get everything in order very quickly and keep me in the loop, and even picked me up from my hostel and drove me to the bus station the next morning! I inquired about their sustainability practices and he sent me a detailed e-mail with their efforts for environmental and cultural sustainability. I was blown away by his dedication. I didn't have to worry about a thing during my tours with them. I joined a 4-day trek that had one other individual and that was a fantastic experience as well. Basanta and Nirmal (our guide and porter) were absolutely wonderful; I can easily say they made our trekking experience amazing! Unlike other porters that we saw along the trek, we always stuck together, and Basanta was always making sure we were having fun. He took care of our every need, from meals to beds to fun, and always ensured we were comfortable with the plan. He taught us so much about the mountains and Nepali culture along the trek as well. It was truly a pleasure to trek with them and I hope to do so again in the future! - Kaitlin - Canada
