Nepal in 8 days

5.00Had a great time! Overall was a fun experience… road trip from Kathmandu to Chitwan was a bumpy ride so if you’re one to get car sick easily try see if you can get a flight option. Visibility of the mountains is all due to Mother Nature unfortunately but it was still a great experience. The jungle safari and lodge was great.
TRIP PLANNED WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

5.00Just got back from an awesome 7 day trip to Nepal. Right from the enquiry stage, Mr Resham won us over with his prompt and appropriate responses. He took the time to understand our interests and recommended places and built a 7 day itinerary for us that felt like it was personalised and suited for our interests. He was very flexible with making adjustments to the itinerary as per our needs too !! Right from the pick up on arrival, all the way through to drop off, every detail of our trip was executed perfectly. All the hotels they had booked for us were lovely , the guides and drivers who took us and showed us round were really nice and very friendly. But special mentions for Asmita - our guide in Kathmandu who was so sweet and friendly and also very knoweledgeable; Hari - our guide in Chitwan, who was very very knowledgeable, very friendly and also clearly very passionate about wildlife in the area. Our drivers Mr Bhawani and Mr Krishna both were also very very friendly and very helpful. Long drives with Mr Bhawani did not seem tiring at all - his stories, his chats kept us well occupied and made the journey feel shorter than it actually was. He was also very careful with his driving, we never felt unsafe on the road with him. Thanks to the entire team involved in the planning and execution of our trip, we enjoyed an amazing holiday in Nepal and were able to enjoy not just the beautiful landscapes and culture of Nepal, but also the lovely people of Nepal. We have brought back so many fond memories from this trip ...memories that will always bring a smile to us, when we think back of our time in Nepal :-) Mr Resham, thank you so much for arranging for me to try out Titaaura - I enjoyed them everyday of our trip and had a yummy taste in my mouth every single day of my trip in Nepal thanks to you :-) Asmita ma'am, thank you so much for introducing us to Laphing ... and also for giving us our first taste of Momos in Nepal !! Thanks to you both, we also got to enjoy some yummy in the tummy during our trip :-) I would most definitely recommend yous to anyone i know who is looking to travel to Nepal so they can enjoy the same quality time we did in Nepal
Visiting Nepal was even better than we expected

5.00Our time in Nepal was truly special, with so much to enjoy from the ancient streets of Kathmandu, the animal filled forests of Chitwan and the Himalayas with beautiful rhododendron flowers. We spent our days eating delicious, affordable local food and soaking it all in at our own pace. We were so lucky to have Ram as our guide; he was incredibly friendly and really flexible with our specific needs, which made the whole experience stress-free. We’d recommend him to anyone looking for a genuine, hassle-free adventure.
Great tour! Incredible Nepal experience!

5.00Excellent company! Resham who organized the trip was very helpful! The guides were very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. My driver Biren was great in managing the traffic and bringing us safely to all destinations. The best was the Everest scenic flight and paragliding in Pokhara which I booked extra to the trip. I can highly recommend the company when travelling through Nepal.
We will be back again!

5.00One of the most adventurous and memorable trips ever! The activities were incredible, the guides were knowledgeable, accommodating, fun and friendly, and the whole experience was something that I will never forget. While rafting, safari-ing, paragliding, ziplining, bungee jumping, and site seeing, I saw the natural and wondrous beauty of Nepal and fell in love with the country. Pradip Dharel was the best guide, would highly recommend him to anyone!

5.00I started with a tour including helicopter view of Everest and easily customized the trip to my interests. I have nothing but rave reviews about the 9 day trip. The people were friendly and welcomed me. The tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The accommodations were safe, clean and friendly (upgrades in Chitwan and Pokhara). I have told everyone who has asked me about my trip that I would highly recommend this agency because of my wonderful experience.
Well organised short tour

5.00We chose this tour as time was short, and it didn't disappoint. The hotels varied in style, but all were clean and comfortable, and the included meals were good (as a vegetarian I was well catered for). There was even a pool in Chitwan, although the weather was a bit too cold to take advantage of it. Our guides Ram in Kathmandu, Hari in Chitwan and Gasnish in Pokhara also varied in style, but all were friendly, knowledgable and kind, paced the activities well, and always cheerful. (Note that the Sarangkot sunrise activity listed in the company website tour description is not listed in the Viator version which we booked, but we took it as an optional extra). After talking to Ram, we decided to fly between cities as he advised the main Kathmandu to Pokhara road is very rough and travel times are longer than stated. While the flights were all delayed (60-90 minutes), we are glad we took this option as it gave us more time at the destinations. The 25 minute flights are expensive at about US$100 per sector (foreigner price), but worth it if you are time-poor. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
Excellent holiday!!

5.00We had a great time on our Luxury Holidays trip! I went with my family and friend (all between 27-57 years old and 6 people total). We really enjoyed the pace and type of activities. There was a lot in each day but still enough time to relax or explore on our own. Our guide Pradip was fantastic and arranged everything. If you want to go to Nepal and don’t want to do too much planning but be sure you will have a great time, I highly suggest this tour
