My wife and I were part of a group of 10 friends from Miami, Florida, USA, visiting Kathmandu in October 2015 barely 6 months after the earthquake. Despite the effects of this tragedy, we had an incredible opportunity to experience a vibrant city and its wonderful people; Paras was the perfect tour guide in every respect: excellent English, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to every detail; he made our travel experience in Kathmandu truly rewarding. We continued our journey to Tibet & Bhutan with very good tour guides, but, in our opinion, Paras set the benchmark as tour guiding goes.
