Nepal Cultural, religious historic sites Trips

The leader, Sudarshan (Su) made the trip extra special. He went far above that which was required for his role. His attention to detail, to our every need and always being there in case an issue presented itself was outstanding. In fact I wished quite a few times he would simply relax and allow himself some time to himself to rest!

This trek is a great introduction to all that is Nepal. A full-on itinerary including short trek, history, wild life, city culture, rafting and fabulous views. Well lead with Udaya. A leader who went out of his way to make sure all went smoothly. To bear in mind....although not as many as the Annapurna sanctuary trek, stone steps are prevalent on this trek and at some tea houses clients had to share 4 to a room because of the shortage of rooms and the larger group (14) I would definitely recommend this walk for a first timer in Nepal or indeed a seasoned trekker (like me) who wanted a change from the "mainstream" trekking but who loves the country

Best explore trip ever, with best guide ever. The mix of activity and visits could not have been better balanced. Full on without being exhausting. I personally would have liked more time at the mountain museum but appreciate others might not. Our guide, Udaya, did his utmost to accommodate those that found the walking a challenge, (even though the trip notes clearly described what to expect). Udaya’s knowledge, enthusiasm and clear love of his country enhanced the trip, even on the long bus journeys there was regular commentary on what we were seeing and short stops of interest. He had concern for our welfare and even joined in with us in a hotel Christmas cake mixing competition after our trip had officially ended. This whole experience will take some beating.

Fast paced, but covered a lot of places. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and obviously proud of his country. India was a bit overwhelming, but the people we met were very friendly

A superb trip which gave an excellent insight into the culture, peoples and landscapes of Nepal. The trip was excellently guided by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable leader. The experiences were varied and included a number of purpiseful walks taking us through villages and scenes with exceptional views.

We chose this trip as we had visited Kathmandu in 2011 but had always wanted to get out into the countryside. This trip was a diverse mixture of culture and scenery. We enjoyed revisiting the temples and squares in Kathmandu, but also appreciating the mountains and scenery, especially a Pokhara. The clear views of the mountain ranges were amazing and breathtaking. We enjoyed the Chitwan park and saw lots of birds and rhinos, but unfortunately no tigers, but we didn't really expect to. Our tour guide and the local guides were all great with their knowledge and experience. It was a discovery, thank you
