We had a Lifetime experience of Mardi Himal Trek from Pokhara with the Nepal Unique Treks Team. We spent more than 2 months in Kathmandu for our official work, finally, we met Dil Gurung and he hosted our Mardi Himal Trek from Pokhara as a Local agency.
Everything was perfect and our guide and porter were awesome, helpful, and knowledgeable for this trek. We are delighted to do this trek with Nepal Unique Treks, and the Dil Gurung Team, the highly recommended team for the best experience in the Nepal Himalayas. Wish to see you again for another adventure Thank you, Dil.
