We used Nepal Tours for our 13 days Upper Mustang Jeep Tour during the Tiji festival 2018. Kulendra, the company owner was very accommodating and managed all of our arrangements from Kathmandu brilliantly. On the 4wd jeep drive from Jomsom to Lo Manthang and back to Jomsom, our guide Raju was also superb and every day on the drive went extremely smoothly. I would highly recommend Kulendra to anyone thinking of any professional trip to Nepal.
