Himalayan Heaven with the help of Netra

Netra, what an incredible person he is, words are not enough to describe him. If anyone planning to trip to the Himalayas and the surrounding region, Netra is the best man. Our trip was booked last-minute yet Netra organized one of the most well-planned, comprehensive, and exciting trips ever taken. It was flawless and stress-free. From cultural Kathmandu, beautiful Phewa Lake, Chitwan, and the indescribable beauty of Bhutan, Netra made sure for our satisfaction and comfort. Netra was readily available for all our queries’ responses. He also made sure to provide accommodation at sumptuous hotels and a vegan diet. We were treated like royalty at each place we stayed and all thanks to Netra. We are already planning to contact Netra for our next trip…
