    Hadi and I really enjoyed our stay at Bhutan, your country is beautiful and we enjoyed all that we saw and did. It was a big pity we had to return early for work. We would like to give a special thanks to our guide, he always greeted us with a smile, was very helpful and courteous. Our driver was very punctual and pleasant aswell.

    All aspects of this Bhutan tour were fantastic — I enjoyed every part of the program. The guide was knowledgeable and courteous. This was a great introduction to the country of Bhutan, offering a little bit of everything. I would definitely recommend Friendship Nepal Tours & Travels to others.

    Spring, Autumn is a great time to visit Nepal. Even though most people are rushing off to the Everest Base Camp, there are still a large number of tourists in and around Kathmandu. The infrastructure in Kathmandu does not support the current population of over 5 million, but it is still an an exciting city. There is much to see, even looking out the car window. And being stopped in traffic is a great time to get candid photos of the ordinary people on the streets. Having a driver was a necessity and my driver was excellent. I could totally relax and watch the city as we drove through different areas. Things went wrong, but alternate arrangements were quickly made so I was able to see what I wanted to see. The most important asset is flexibility. When something was not possible to do as planned, there were other things to do and Friendship Nepal Tours was able to make alternate arrangements quickly. Visiting the Chitwan Park is an essential part of the Nepal experience. Although it is possible to fly in to the area, driving provides an excellent view of how the people live outside Kathmandu.

      If you are 2 persons that we can operate the tour any day as per your scheduled. If the flight date changes or canceled, they (Airlines company) will re-arrange the scheduled. As per the flight scheduled we can operate the trip accordingly. Due to the flight cancel or any disturbance that tour cost will not refund because we (Travel agent) need to deposit USD 200 per person per day to Bhutan Government for the Bhutan visa process.
