Pamfa did an incredible job organizing our trip. Her communication before the trip was excellent, helping us set up our dream itinerary with ease. She was attentive to our needs and ensured every detail was perfect. And she was very welcoming in Kathmandu, sending her son to pick us up in the airport and coming the first day to make sure everything was alright, we had all the needed papers, and we understood them! Thanks to Pamfa, we had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
