Outstanding trip - Met Sobit through his brother Suresh during a recent visit to Nepal. We did a small trek with an overnight to Nagarkot with a stop to Bhaktapur on the way back to Kathmandu. Sobit is very knowledgeable about Nepal's fauna and flora, as well as Nepal's history. During the trek, the views of the Himalaya peaks started to come into view. We stayed at the Viewpoint Hotel and caught sunset and sunrise. The next morning, we hiked to a lookout tower with the best views yet. The trekking part of the trip ended with a pleasant and informative stroll through the countryside. We concluded the trip with a history lesson at Bhaktapur. This was a nice was to close out our time together by seeing some truly amazing Nepalese history. All during our two days together, Sobit was very attentive to anything I might have needed. In fact, he personally saw me off to the airport and provided a parting gift of a Nepalese hat that I mentioned liking - a very thoughtful gesture. Really can't say enough positive things about Sobit and the two-day experience. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use Bold Himalaya again.
