We were friends booked this activity directly at Extollo office in Kathmandu and enjoyed our long awaited Hike to Bagdwara. The trail was so much pleasing and appealing for nature lovers willing to enjoy a day hike from Kathmandu. Lush green forest, sound of birds along the way and the scenic view of mountain range and Kathmandu valley was awesome. We loved our walk of 5 hours and appreciate the service arrangements done by Extollo Adventures. Wonderful and highly recommended.
