Verified Absolutely top agency! Namaste! We (a tour group of 3) took an 18-day tour with Blue Lake Travels (BLT) this year in May. Through the agency we were provided with a jeep with driver (Depesh) and an English-speaking guide (Shiva). Our 1. Week led us towards Manang. The preparation on the part of BLT was spotless, the accommodations on the route were perfectly organized, short-term changes or adjustments were implemented without any problems. Our driver should also be commended at this point, who has experienced the so-called roads in the Nepalese highlands knows what I am talking about. Our guide had profound knowledge of the respective regions and tried to read every wish from our lips. The 2. Week we travelled from Kathmandu to Mt. Kailash in Tibet (China). Entry restrictions to China and related formalities remain very high, but thanks to BLT, everything was organized in advance. Thanks again for that. Back in Kathmandu we used the last day for a sightseeing tour. The guide provided by BLT had very good historical knowledge and guided us through the capital.
