    Annapurna Trekking

    "I was on a trekking tour with Dipak and one of his employee on the Annapurna trek and the services provided by Dipak were excellent throughout the journey. He is absolutely trustworthy and reliable and also very responsive while preparing the journey. Meanwhile, other members of my family have also gone on treks with him and all of us have been very happy. I can only recommend Dipak and if I will go to Nepal again, I will surely use Dipaks services."
