    Guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, lively, interesting, and I had little problem understanding him (spoke with a Nepali accent, but English accent was good). Transportation was excellent: expert, on time, clean, comfortable, friendly service. Only concern: the guide took me to several shops where the owners provided great information, yet they all clearly had an expectation that I would make a purchase. I was not comfortable with that arrangement. It nullified any bargaining power I might have had.
