Wonderful Trek

This trip was simply amazing. Our first time trekking in Nagarkot, more than exceeded our expectations. The tour guide, Dipak, suggested some beautiful spots and routes all the way up. Watching the sun rise over Mt. Everest from the Nagarkot view-point was simply amazing. Thank you Dipak for showing us some wonderful views of Katmandu and Nagarkot.

Nagarkot Trek

Dipak and Siddar are wonderful with their hospitality. They would make sure that we'll be well-taken care throughout our tour and stay in Nepal. I highly recommend their services to any of my friends who are heading to Nepal.

Best tour in my life!

I did an Everest base camp helicopter tour during my short stay in Nepal. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The 5 hours helicopter tour starting from Kathmandu, landing at Kalapattar, and breakfast in Everest view hotel was one of the best things I have ever done. The weather was fantastic and the timing and everything were as described. If you don’t want to walk to Everest base camp for more than 12 days, this is the right trip for you in a day. These guys are so awesome from the beginning of my inquiry with so many questions until I returned back from the trip. Everything went perfectly. Highly recommended day tour from Kathmandu!
