Me along with two of my friends did the two-week Khopra ridge community trek. The was a fun guy with lot of knowledge about the mountains. He was equally helpful and very caring. We thoroughly enjoyed our trek with him and next time when we travel to Nepal, we will directly ask for him. He couldn't be better enough for us. We will be back soon! Thank you all at the company. Dhanyabad!
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.

If you're the kind of person who likes to go beyond the surface, this tour is for you. I joined the Heritage of Rajasthan trip with my cousin, and we were both impressed with how much heart and detail was put into every day of the journey. It didn’t feel rushed or overly “touristy.” We had time to enjoy each city—walk through narrow alleys, talk to local artisans, sip masala chai on rooftops. That’s what made it memorable.
Pushkar, in particular, was a highlight for me. Watching the rituals at the lake in the evening made me feel like I was witnessing something truly timeless. Jodhpur’s fort was massive and majestic, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort was like a real-life movie set. Udaipur felt like the opposite, serene and romantic. I still can’t believe I had dinner overlooking the lake with palace lights glowing in the background.
The accommodations were mid-range but charming: clean, comfortable, and often located in beautiful heritage properties. Our driver was fantastic, and our guide brought the history alive without being boring or overwhelming. He was also really approachable and made sure everyone in the group felt included.
One of the best parts was the group itself—it was a good mix of people from different backgrounds, and we all got along really well. It added another layer to the trip.
This wasn’t just a checklist of places—it was an experience that made me feel connected to the history, art, and people of Rajasthan.

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.
