Sudarshan KC, our tour leader was a very kind and thoughtful person. He was very attentive to everyone’s needs. Being the only vegan in the group, he was very helpful to let me know which foods contained animal products. He also explained to the kitchen staff what my needs were. He did his best to talk about his country but sometimes he was hard to understand because of our language barrier and his accent but he tried extra hard to make things clearer. I would definitely recommend him to others who go on this tour or tour with Su.
Our guide, Sudarshan kc, was the best guide I've had on any Explore trip I've done (4, so far). He was really knowledgeable, gentle, warm, funny, & friendly, he looked after our group fantastically. Nothing was too much trouble, his recurrent phrase was 'anything is possible'. The tour itself was brilliant & flowed really well, despite the longer road journeys due to the landslides that had occurred a few wks before. In fact, I'd go as far to say those journeys were actually quite an adventure in themselves! For me, it was a perfect trip, the 4 days trekking were amazing, challenging at times, but worth the effort to see the stunning views of the mountains. The teahouses were simple but really welcoming, & in fab locations for views. Pokhara was a beautiful place for a bit of a rest, the calm lake, great shopping, & places to eat. Chitwan was outstanding, especially with the rhino sightings, & close encounters!
I was lucky to have a great group of people to travel with too, which made the trip a lot of fun.
Kathmandu is exactly what you'd expect, a city full of life, bustling traffic & historic sights. People are very warm & friendly.
I'd recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
I wanted to stay longer, & shed tears when I left. Many thanks.
An excellent trip with a great Bhutanese tour leader and driver. Such a beautiful and peaceful country and a big contrast to hectic, noisy and dirty Kathmandu. A fairly relaxed tour with highlights of the black crane festival, Tiger’s Nest monastery, Punakha and more. Generally good hotels except in Phobjika Valley, which had power cuts, cold rooms and poor food. Food in Bhutan was a bit monotonous- generally very similar buffets. Excellent guide and driver. Recommended.
Langtang's short trek to Kyangin Ri hiking route lies insight into the Langtang National Park, which is one of the most beautiful and least tourist short mountain treks in Nepal. The trek needs 8 days including 2 gorgeous days local drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubashi near to Tibet border and return. The trek route is popular for Tamang Village, Buddhist Culture, Yaks Farm, Flora, and fauna and offers you stunning views of mountain ranges of Mt. Langtang Lirung, Naya Kanga Peak, Ganjala Peak, Lang Shisha Ri, and Yala Peak, Mt. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa and more.
You will walk inside the Langtang National Park on Red panda zone like a local Langtang people. Visit some of the most beautiful villages, monasteries and grab the best view of Himalayas panorama from Tserkuri or Kyangin Ri summit. The snowy peaks and its surroundings will make you feel really peaceful. The view of the great wide range of mountains.
The trek is becoming more popular because it brings you closer to the local Samanism culture as well as the area's rich wildlife. After getting the TIMS permit from Kathmandu, we will drive to Syabrubashi via Trishuli, Dhnuche, and then enjoy a short hike to Langtang Village, where you will get to feel an entirely different way of life on the same day. The adventure trip is not just a trek but also a great way to learn Tibetan culture, Mountain Geography, Wildlife insight the National park, and great fun.
