Nepal: Himalaya Highlights National Geographic Journeys was a wonderful journey to see the highlights and experience the culture of Nepal. Nepali people are warm and friendly. The trip was very economical for the sights, accommodations, and included meals. Unfortunately, the single supplemental was quite expensive! Our guide, Narayan, was outstanding! He had wonderful people skills in dealing with the ten travelers in our group who were from all over the world. He was quite knowledgeable about the culture, history, and geography of the country. He ensured that we departed on time and savored the all the flavors of Nepal! My recommendation would be to add a couple of days to the trip so that travelers could spend more time in Chitwan National Park, the Annapurna Mountains, and Pokara. The trip was very fast-paced and would have benefited from more free time to savor the sights and sounds of our journey. There was never enough time to relish the scenery or take photographs of this amazing country!Show more

Travelling with G Adventures to Nepal was an outstanding adventure of numerous insights into the the beautiful, diverse landscape and culture of this small, awesome country between India and China. The Himalayan and Annapurna Mountain ranges are exquisite! Words are so inadequate to describe this beauty of God's creation! Each day was fast-paced and filled with new wonders to behold! The Nepali people are very warm and friendly and go out of their way to make the traveler feel "at home." Lodging and meals were quite nice. What a privilege to travel under the expert guidance of Narayan Tamraker and with our small group who added much to an overall wonderful journey!Show more
