The trip was absolutely incredible and we fell in love with Bhutan; its landscape,people and beauty. This was largely due to our magnificent guide Wangchuki. He was kind, patient and knowledgeable. His friendliness and humour made every single moment of the trip one to be cherished. The tour group we were with ,was perfect and we enjoyed getting to know people from different countries and of varying ages.
The hotels we stayed in were unique and comfortable and everything ran seamlessly. We were lucky enough to enjoy a local festival ,as well as watching monks create their beautiful butter sculptures.
In the course of our trip, we had two drivers ,Pala and Gelsen. Both were extremely careful and skilled drivers , ensuring we felt safe and comfortable at all times. No mean feat on the winding ,narrow, mountain roads ! Thank you for everything Wangchuk, you and your stunning country will always have a very special place in our hearts.
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.
It was a great experience! Everything was planned and we just needed to enjoy the trekking. Our guide Binod was super nice and helpful and great at spreading good energy. It was a trip of a lifetime.
Had an incredible experience completing the Ghorepani Trek with this local travel specialist. They are a reliable and flexible company that is able to work around your schedule to accommodate the best possible trekking experience tailored to you. My guide was friendly and supportive and was at my beck and call the entire way through. Would strongly recommend choosing this agency for your next trek in Nepal!
I had a great time on this trek and Raj was an incredible guide with great communication throughout. His hospitality, and flexibility were incredibly welcomed and the trek was fairly challenging for one of the more 'moderate' hikes. Loved the experience and could not be happier!
The Annapurna View Trek is a beautiful tour that takes you through several scenic and peaceful mountain villages, each offers stunning views of the mountains and surrounding areas. Most of the trek has a very well maintained path or stairs, some parts are a bit steep and difficult, especially the uphill sections require a good level of fitness. Overall a 10/10 short tour that takes you through a really stunning part of the country.

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!
Choosing this local travel specialist for our Pikey Peak Trek was the best decision we could have made. The service provided was top-notch, with the team taking care of every detail. The right amount of time for acclimatization allowed us to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes and create unforgettable memories. Thank you for an amazing journey!
As a first-time trekker, the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek was an ideal choice. The route was well-balanced, offering a moderate level of difficulty without being overwhelming. The breathtaking mountain scenery, charming villages, and warm hospitality of the local people made the experience even more memorable. The services provided by the local operator were top-notch, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. I highly recommend this trek to beginners and nature enthusiasts.
