In October 2019 my brother and I had the pleasure to visit Chitwan National Park under the guidance of (Kumar) Lama. After a long bus ride from Kathmandu we were welcomed at the Earth Light Hotel. The had everything we needed, and more! The place was well-maintained, clean, had a swimming pool and the (all inclusive) meals were good. The staff was very polite. During the three days, Lama had prepared a program for us which included various activities such as jungle canoeing, visiting an elephant pharm, a local village an dance show. The absolute highlight was the jungle walk where we encountered a rhinoceros! I would describe Lama as a helpful, professional, sincere and enthusiastic guide. After the three days it felt like we made a friend! We hope Lama and the hotel are doing well and we wish him and his family all the best during these difficult Covid times. Best regards from Amsterdam, Eric.

I have just returned from Annapurna Base Camp trek with Eve Holidays and I love the experience. Everything went smooth and their service was perfect. Food was great and accommodation was fine considering the fact that it was in remote mountains. Views in the Annapurna trek was wonderful with magical mountains, small villages and tea house lodges and Nepalese rural lifestyle. My guide and porter were very caring and they made sure all the time that i am safe and enjoying my trek. I would extremely recommend Eve Holidays as I found it beyond my expectation and it is operated by a single mom who employs women so that she can help them. I appreciate the small step taken by her towards helping other women like herself.

We were a mixed age group that included a few seniors. Mr Ram managed the trip very well. All of us had a good time in Nepal with loads of beautiful memories to bring home, boating at Phewa lake, sunrise viewing from Sarangkot, canle car ride to Manakamana etc. Mr.Ram made sure all of us were well taken care of. I would highly recommend his tour agency to anyone. Thank you brother Ram for making it an awesome holiday.
