Thanks to the very swift reply of Thinley and his team an easy booking of my 13 days of stay in Bhutan was complete in 3 days including flights to Paro and e-Visa. Thinley was always responsible to my needs during my stay. This local travel specialist does have excellent connections so that my trekking was led by an experienced mountain guide and a team, which made my trekking experience very safe. They do also have a wide variety of 3* to 5* hotels, which accommodate everybody’s need. As a trekker I chose 3* hotels and was very happy.
Walking around the bustling Thamel, the noise immediately disappeared when entering the garden as if it were a dreams area
Dinner here feels very peaceful, even though it was raining it added to the romantic impression .
My friend and I had an absolutely incredible time on the Chisapani Nagarkot 3-day hike with this local travel specialist. It was the highlight of our 2 week trip to India and Nepal. (We are two women in our 30s from the US.) Everyone at this agency is lovely and they always answered my questions quickly and professionally. Madan and Kumar were wonderful, friendly, and informative as our guide and porter. We went in early September 2023, and I was worried that it would be too wet and rainy at that time of year, but it wasn't an issue (I do recommend wearing waterproof hiking boots though). The nature was incredible and the views were spectacular (that’s an understatement!). We were tired after each day of hiking and the tea houses were perfect places to appreciate the view and rest after each day. Highly recommended!

Ancient Kathmandu valley boasts of a considerably high number of cultural sites recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. All these sites are related to the spiritual traditions practiced in the region, which blend different cultures and lifestyles. The thousands of temples, stupas, pagodas and monuments inside the valley have made Kathmandu famous around the world as the City of Temples, while the mountains encircling the valley give panoramic views. The valley is comprised of three medieval cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and each city has its own artistic exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick-paved courtyards and quaint streets. Besides the three cities, there are also a number of other important sites in the periphery of the mountains.
