The Highlights of Nepal tour was brilliant! We covered popular areas of Nepal and the balance of organised activities and free time was great. The accommodation was lush, our CEO was always available and supportive- even the long bus rides were made better by well chosen rest and food breaks. This tour is an excellent way to get to know Nepal, especially if you can't take loads of time off work. I'll definitely be using G Adventures for my next tour.
