This is the perfect tour for someone coming to Nepal for the first time who wants to experience the culture, visit the historic sites and see the amazing views. Everything was well planned, with plenty of activities and enough free time for shopping and trying new foods. All of the guides were wonderful, especially Devi in Kathmandu. There were long drives between cities but the car was comfortable and Abhi was the very best. He was fun and accommodating, it made the trip fly by. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and welcome in each place I visited. All of the staff and the hotels were friendly and helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. Nilam checked in frequently to make sure I was enjoying everything and was easy to get ahold of. He also helped plan additional activities and gave recommendations. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to come back. I will always recommend this company if you’re coming to Nepal.Show more
