    The Nepal tour was an enriching experience. Kathmandu, we saw incredible temples like Pashupatinath and Boudhanath. The drive to Nuwakot gave us a taste of Nepal’s rural life, and the village itself was peaceful and charming. In Pokhara, we enjoyed lakeside views and the sunrise at Sarangkot. The highlight for me was the jungle safari in Chitwan, where we saw rhinos and deer. The guides were fantastic, and the hotels were comfortable. It was a great mix of culture, nature, and adventure. Highly recommend it.

    Our 12-day tour of Nepal was absolutely fantastic. The journey started with smooth airport assistance, followed by transfers to comfortable hotels. In Kathmandu, we explored iconic sites like Pashupatinath and Swayambhunath, and enjoyed the vibrant local markets. The guides were knowledgeable, especially in places like Lumbini and Chitwan, where we learned about the history and wildlife. The hotels were clean and had excellent service. We loved the scenic drives and cultural experiences in places like Bandipur and Nagarkot. Highly recommend to experience Nepal.

    This Nepal tour was truly an unforgettable experience. The service was excellent from start to finish. I really appreciated how the tour operators managed everything. Cultural sites were fascinating, especially Swayambhunath and Kathmandu Durbar Square. The local guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Nepal. The drive to Nuwakot and I enjoyed the rural atmosphere there. The wildlife safari at Chitwan was the highlight I’ll never forget seeing a rhino up close! All in all, it was a well-paced and thoroughly enjoyable trip.

    When I landed in Kathmandu, everything was taken care of. The airport transfer was quick, and the hotel was cozy and centrally located. The guides were great, giving us fascinating insights into Nepal history and culture, especially at Pashupatinath and Boudhanath. Trip to Nuwakot was a peaceful escape, offering a look into rural life that I really enjoyed. Pokhara was a dream with its serene lakes, and the view of the Annapurnas from Sarangkot was breathtaking. The highlight was definitely the safari at Chitwan.

    I recently returned from this 12-day tour, and it was an amazing experience. The services provided were excellent. Every step of the trip was carefully planned, from the seamless airport pickup to the well-chosen accommodations. Kathmandu was full of life, with beautiful temples and vibrant streets. I enjoyed having free time to explore on my own and sample local food. Nuwakot and Bandipur were peaceful stops that allowed us to relax and experience rural Nepal. Pokhara’s lakes were stunning, and the Chitwan safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I highly recommend for Nepal.

    Everything was well-arranged from the moment I landed in Kathmandu. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to answer questions and share insights about the history and culture of Nepal. Kathmandu temples were awe-inspiring, and I really enjoyed walking through the bustling streets and interacting with locals. The countryside stops like Nuwakot and Bandipur were peaceful and offered a glimpse into rural life. Pokhara lakes and mountain views were simply breathtaking. The safari at Chitwan was thrilling I’ll never forget seeing rhinos in the wild. Great fun.
