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.

Wish to see you again for another adventure Thank you, Dil.
