                                • Thank you, Balaram, and Thamel Travel and Tours!

                                  I want to especially commend Balaram Pandey, Team Leader of Thamel Travel and Tours for exceptional service to me and my son as we arranged transportation to and from the Everest area -- after a cancellation due to issues beyond out control last year, to the successful completion of the trip this year despite a number of complications, he has been an amazing help at every turn. I would recommend him and the company unreservedly for any tourism needs and hope I will have the chance again soon to use his services. Thank you again, Balaram
