Awesome Nagarkot to Dhulikhel Short Trek
Nagarkot to Dhulikhel Short Trek, Having been to Nepal twice over the past few years. And spent time with Chandra on both occasions, I would highly recommend him as a guide and a friend. He is a lovely bloke. Who makes sure his clients are well catered for in every sense. We had a really nice short trek with Chandra in the Kathmandu Valley, walking for a few days from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel hike. He was always willing to share stories and experiences from his past as well as his views on Nepal and the wider world.
Once back in Kathmandu he was available to give us advice about what to do and where to go. As well as taking us to a restaurant for a Nepali meal! If I ever (fingers crossed) make it back to Nepal, I would definitely get in touch with him again. Thanks for all your help mate, stay in touch.

Two-Day Trek through the Hills to Nagarkot
Two days Trek to Nagarkot, After finishing up a University program in Nepal and with not much personal time to spare, a cousin of mine recommended I link up with Chandra for a two-day trek through the hills to Nagarkot. I highly regarded Chandra. As he and my cousin have formed a strong friendship from all the trekking. They had undertaken together and had also proved himself highly skilled and knowledgeable.
Two days Trek to Nagarkot was sufficient in providing the awe-striking scenic views of the Himalayan mountain range coupled with an awesome physical adventure out in nature. The choice of accommodation and food was excellent at both Chisipani and Nagarkot. With awesome rooftop views at the latter. Chandra was a great company throughout the experience which made the experience very pleasurable.
Planning to fly back end of the year and have a go at ABC. I highly recommend Chandra and his crew!!
