"A very well-managed tour with a friendly and experienced guide—it was one of the best parts of my trip! I’ve made a great friend in my guide, and I’m sure we’ll stay in touch for a long time. Binod Thapa, I think you’re running a fantastic business, and I’ll definitely use your services again soon. I came to Nepal for the food, the people, and the experience—and found all three in abundance. As a photographer, I’ve seen and captured more than most do in a lifetime. Thank you both for such a memorable journey. I’ll be back! I highly recommend Alpine Adventure Club to everyone planning to travel to Nepal and beyond for trekking, tours, and adventures."
