MAGNIFIQUE NEPAL

Très beaux souvenirs de cette magnifique expérience de trek au Népal. Je remercie M Nabin Karki pour l'excellente organisation de notre séjour. Nous avons bénéficier de tous les avantages de son agence; voiture et chauffeur privé, repas et nuit chez l'habitant. Il a su nous proposer un circuit en fonction de nos capacités. Nous avons fait un trek jusqu'à Nagarkot et nous avons vu le sommet de l'Everest. C'est à couper le souffle ! Notre guide était super sympa, et les porteurs sont toujours prêts pour vous aider. Nous avons découvert la richesse culturelle de Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan a travers l'architecture, mais d'une manière générale, merci à Nabin qui nous a fait découvrir la richesse de l'esprit népalais en nous permettant de nous immerger dans la culture de son pays. Souvenir inoubliable, vivement le prochain voyage au Népal, avec l'agence Himalayan Magic Treks, c'est sûr.
