I went to Nepal for several times over a period of time but never used a travel agent like this time and I am so glad I did it and made the right choice. Kulendra, the proprietor of this company personally looked after our tour ensuring our safety, comfort and requirement.

We had reasonable hotel rates but best in the locality and the rooms selected were good with views. We made friends with the team especially with Kulendra, Kumar. I felt so close. Nepal will live very close to my heart. If you are looking for a family trip something off the beaten activity and tour Nepal meaningfully, Nepal Tours, doubtlessly, is your choice.
