Colours of Nepal - Short Solo Trip (7 Days / 6 Nights)
My solo trip to Nepal was a pretty last-minute decision. I decided to go ahead to book the flight and then hunt a guide. Ammar was the first guide I wrote to, and I picked him as my guide for this trip.
My few days trip with Ammar was great and relaxing. He’s always on time, with a smile 🙂 In a short few days time, he showed & explained to me Nepal culture, history, and beliefs and always patiently answered my questions (I can ask a lot of questions sometimes ).
I am grateful to have him as a guide. He made my trip hassle-free (just follow him 🙂 ), navigating through historical buildings, lanes, and multiple busy streets. It was a good experience for me to get a glimpse of how the local lives, the food they eat, and the prayer rituals they do daily while visiting tourist places.
Also, I got to hear many stories from Ammar. If you want to hear ghost stories from him, ASK HIM!! 🙂 Overall, it was a simple yet satisfying trip, am sure will leave a lasting memory for me. I hope to visit Nepal again in near future. Nepalese people are generally friendly. I feel safe all the time while exploring this country.
Should you wish to engage Ammar as your guide, you should without hesitation. He has been a guide year He is good at planning your site in Nepal – you can leave it to him. I’ll sign off now. Sending greetings to Ammar. “cheers,
