Daman Trek Traveler’s Review

Best trip in Nepal "DAMAN HIKE"

May 14, 2022

Ammar’s kindness and responsiveness in addressing all our inquiries about our Daman hiking trip in Nepal were truly appreciated. We sought to arrange a guide and a private van to take us to the Daman view tower, and Ammar made it happen seamlessly.

Our stay at Daman hill was nothing short of superb, providing us with breathtaking views and unforgettable moments. Even when we had to make a sudden change to our itinerary, skipping the Kathmandu heritage sites day tour, Ammar went above and beyond to help us customize our trip according to our preferences.

Once again, thank you, Ammar, for your exceptional service and support. We are already looking forward to meeting you again in 2021 for another amazing adventure.
