    I had an 12 days incredible tour of Nepal. Services provided by the tour company were well managed. Every detail was taken care of, from the smooth airport transfers to the well-chosen hotels. Kathmandu temples were awe-inspiring, and I loved learning about the spiritual significance of each one. The guides were excellent, always engaging and patient with our group. Pokhara was beautiful, and Chitwan National Park was the perfect way to end the trip with an exciting wildlife safari. Overall it was a great trip.

    This Nepal tour was a great choice for my first visit to the country. The tour company took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry about the details. Kathmandu was a vibrant city with so much history and culture I loved exploring the ancient temples and markets. The drive to Nuwakot offered a peaceful retreat with its quiet countryside and historic temples. Pokhara was stunning views of the mountains. The highlight of the trip was the wildlife experience in Chitwan was unforgettable. Overall, a memorable and well-organized experience.

    The whole experience was memorable. The guides were fantastic and provided great insights into Nepal history and culture, particularly during our visits to Kathmandu temples and Lumbini. The trip was well-paced, allowing us to experience both the lively cities and the tranquility of places like Nuwakot and Pokhara. The accommodations were comfortable, with friendly staff everywhere we stayed. The wildlife safari at Chitwan National Park was one of the best parts we saw a variety of animals, including rhinos and crocodiles. I came away from this trip with a deeper appreciation for Nepal.

    This tour was well worth it. The guides were punctual, friendly, and shared fascinating stories about Nepal history and culture. Kathmandu was an exciting city to explore, with beautiful temples and lively streets. I particularly enjoyed the walk through the ancient Durbar Squares. The accommodation was great at every stop. The highlights for me were the Pokhara and the wildlife safari in Chitwan. The sunset views in Bandipur and the sunrise in Nagarkot were just breathtaking. A well-planned and enjoyable tour.

    The service was excellent. Kathmandu was bustling, but I loved the cultural exploration, especially at Pashupatinath Temple and the serene Boudhanath Stupa. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the significance of every site. Nuwakot was a peaceful retreat, offering a chance to explore traditional Nepali village life. Chitwan National Park was a big adventure of tour, with an amazing elephant safari where we saw rhinos and other wildlife up close. Definitely a trip.

    Kathmandu was full of life, with its ancient temples and vibrant streets. The Pashupatinath Temple, in particular, left a lasting impression. Nuwakot offered a much-needed escape from the hustle, with its charming villages and rich history. The drive to Bandipur was scenic, and Pokhara was a perfect relaxation and adventure, with its stunning lakes and views of the Annapurna range. Our guides were excellent, making sure we were comfortable and informed throughout the trip.
