I have worked with Mr. Narendra Bhatta for almost 20 years now. We have done everything from safaris,
to overland journeys from Tibet, to trekking in Mustang. I have also worked with a number of other
agents in Nepal over the years. I can honestly say that no other agent comes even close in comparing to
the level of professionalism and the highest standards of service that have consistently been rendered by
Heritage Tours and Travels. Given the conditions and challenges of Nepal’s tourism infrastructure, this is
really saying a lot!
