Excellent and reliable

We booked Lhasa, EBC, Kathmandu overland tour from Alpine Eco Trek. The manager Ram Kumar organized the tour and answered very quickly to all of our questions. Tibetan part of the tour was done by their partner Tibet Kyunglung Travel service which was a very good and professional company as well. Overall we were very satisfied with the tour and would definitely consider using them again.
