Tour Reviews
Fantastic Experience! Nepal tours tailored the holidays exactly to my needs and my short time constraints. A very knowledgeable staff and guides! – I will definitely recommend them. I will use them next time when I return with my family to do a trek in Pokhara hopefully next year!
Nepal Tours arranged everything, including pickup and drop off, Kathmandu/Pokhara tour, hotels, our cultural guide and driver – they really covered all the bases. Our one week went smoothly, without a hitch. My sincere thanks to everyone at Nepal Tours, especially Kulendra and our patient & helpful cultural guide “BISHNU”!
