  AMAZING EXPERIENCE! So happy with our experience with WTX and Nepal. highly recommend! Pros: - Guide: Raj is an amazing guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about a large range of topics from religion, history, culture, politics, food, etc. there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer- it was impressive. He told very interesting stories and taught us so much. He stayed with us the entire time, from airport pick up to drop off, and was very generous with his time and knowledge. He prepared us for each days activities and checked in to ensure we were satisfied and happy with our experiences all along the way, personalizing the experience. He managed the schedule/ itinerary expertly and gave us the exact right amount of time at each site. He even acted as a photographer. He ensured that we felt taken care of from start to finish- it felt like we were visiting a friend. - Driver: very friendly, nice and clean car, expertly handled the roads and traffic - Sites/ itinerary: followed listed itinerary perfectly. unique and interesting religious and royal sites, where you can learn a lot about Hinduism, Buddhism, and the Nepali people, their history, and culture. The sites are fairly close, so you can spend a lot of time at each spot, with a little bit of walking at each location. Going to Nagarkot allowed the opportunity to see the mid-hills region and learn more about the villages and agriculture. Truly a beautiful country. We also happened to visit during a festival, which provided even more of a unique cultural experience! - Optional Everest Mountain flight: $250 usd per person, you wake up very early to fly over the mountains around sunrise to Everest. The crew points out key mountains during the flight, and they only book window seats to guarantee a good view. Very unique experience - we’re very happy we decided to add it to our schedule. WTX accommodated adding this optional service very last minute, including picking us up from the hotel to the airport, and getting us back to the hotel by breakfast before starting the planned itinerary - Accommodations: we loved the two hotels provided with this tour. The people were particularly friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was great, and the hotels were spacious and clean. We especially enjoyed Timber House, in Kathmandu - beautiful rooms, great rooftop restaurant and bar, and is in an ideal location to explore Thamel by foot. - Food: Try the local cuisine, it was one of the highlights of our trip! Raj took us to several awesome locations for lunch and snacks, including many small, local restaurants and vendors, allowing us to sample a lot of the local cuisine and drinks that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. - Safety: the nepali people were so warm, friendly, and hospitable - We felt very safe the whole time. - Value: excellent value- very reasonable price for the accommodations and services provided. Since no one else booked during our trip, we had a private tour, which really allowed us to ask questions and for Raj to guide based on our interests. - free e-sim was a very helpful service provided by tour radar- you get one for yourself and for your fellow travelers, which worked without any issues Cons: - Not enough time in nepal- we wish we could have stayed longer! A few tourist visa tips, unrelated to the tour: - if you’re not able to get the visa online, before arrival, have local currency on hand for money exchange for the visa fee ($30 usd per person). The only atm on that side of immigration was very finicky, leaving several people in a bind. Otherwise in Kathmandu, there are plenty of accessible atms, which is helpful as cash is king in Nepal. - Note the Kathmandu hotel, or ask WTX ahead of arrival, as you’ll need it for visa entry.

  I had a fantastic time on this tour! My guide, Niraz, was knowledgeable and respectful, and our driver, Raju, was skilled and safe. To enhance the experience, I suggest adding Sagarmatha National Park to the itinerary. During off-season for Nagarkot's Himalayan views, perhaps offer an alternative activity. Overall, I loved exploring Kathmandu's world heritage sites, culture, and food. It was an amazing experience!

  Our tour was incredibly enjoyable, informative and memorable!!! It gave us a great first taste of the beautiful country of Nepal with our tour guide Navaraj, with hopes of returning in the future for a longer, more complete exploration. We were lucky that my wife and I were the only participants in this edition of the Tale of Three Cities Tour, so Navaraj was able to tailor the tour more to our interests. He did a great job of not only showing us the highlights in and around Kathmandu but he also gave us real life exposure of the Nepalese people and their culture. With Navaraj's guidance, we also had enjoyable experiences sampling foods that are typical of the region. Since there were only the two of us, Navaraj was always ready to answer our many questions and gave us incites into the area, sites visited, Nepalese culture and religions. We would highly recommend Navaraj and Tour Radar to anyone interested in getting an intimate and thorough introduction to Nepal.

  Without doubt one of the favourite countries in the world Nepal Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by Navaraj my name was mentioned on the board and i felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere i had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. I had four great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Navaraj is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the tour with him. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The nature of the tour was fantastic Kathmandu t I saw a lot of new things in that trip and experienced a lot especially the temples and the view of the Everest and Hamilya mountains The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me i respect Navaraj who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend this trip to everyone

  Our Nepal tour extension was sudden and was of so much fun. 8000 meters mountains are eager to welcome you onboard and upon landing at Kathmandu valley. This beautiful cultural capital is surrounded by thick green forested hills. Narrow busy lanes in the city are famous for local shopping and to taste local cusines. Our tour arranger World Travel Experiences (WTX) seems to be well experienced to the organizing part.
