Bhutan -Kathmandu Tour ★★★★★ Kedar provided me an excellent time in Nepal especially knowing I had only one week time which was filled with wonders and magical time including early hiking into the mountains and full scenery of the Himalayans. I plan to bring my family on my next visit to Nepal and definitely to use Actual Adventures again. Highly recommended it. Peace and Love Jerusa Morsani Rua: Diamante N.59 Belo Horizonte, MG.
