We had a wonderful 14 days tour of Nepal with Nepal Lion tours. Shiva was a great guide, very accommodating and resourceful. In these fourteen days we so so much! From the snowy peaks to ancient monuments and rhinos. His choices for our stays were very good, especially the Amari home stay in Chituan National Park . Food was excellent! Our trekking guide Bignot was exceptionally caring and helpful. Any changes we wanted to make were made the most efficient way. We did way more than originally planned. I can highly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks for anyone visiting Nepal. Great country, excellent company.. They also organized a short trip to Bhutan for us, it was great!Show more

I arrived in Nepal just over one month ago and was met at Kathmandu Tribhuvan airport by my guide for the next month Sohan. During that time and with the careful planning and flexibility by Nepal Lion Tours and Treks I managed to fulfill a 45 year ambition to get to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) with my son. Followed by a successful trek to Kyanjin Ri (4770m) in the Langtang Himalaya and then on to the Holy lake at Gosainkund. Everything went smoothly and the pace was adapted to meet my needs. Sohan was very patient and always there to help me. His knowledge of the mountains and of the wildlife (yes we actually saw a Red Panda) was unsurpassed. We even had time to visit his home village and meet family and friends. I would thoroughly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks to organise your trekking trip, regardless of your ambitions. They are knowledgeable, thoughtful and will go the extra mile to adapt planned itineraries to suit your needs and changes in circumstances. My guide Sohan has the patience of a saint and made my trekking experience into the adventure of a lifetime that I hoped it would be.Show more

Our Langtang trek with Nepal Lion Tours & Treks was an unforgettable experience! Everything was well organized, from start to finish. The scenery was stunning, the lodges comfortable, and the whole journey felt smooth and safe. A special thanks to our wonderful guide Dilly, he was knowledgeable, kind, and always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable. His local insights and positive energy made the trek truly special. Highly recommend Nepal Lion Tours & Treks and especially Dilly for anyone looking for a genuine and memorable trekking experience in Nepal!Show more
