Butterfly Watching Tour - 7 Days

02-Aug-2020

Our recent tour to Kathmandu, Nepal. I had researched different kinds of butterfly in Kathmandu, Nepal for the first time and it was really enjoyable and I absolutely loved the gesture of people. Our guide Sundar and driver Lakpa were very good and helpful. It was a great experience with a lot of memories. All credit goes to Adventure Himalayan Travels and treks. Keep doing what you are doing and the way you are doing. You guys are awesome.
