The best few weeks of my life!!! Doing this trek during the strange times of COVID was always going to be tough but Prakash was so helpful and between us we designed a custom trek that included all the places I wanted to see and visit. I met my guide ( Bir Kaji) at Lukla and we had a great time together; he spoke good English and we shared lots of laughs! He helped a lot as a number of guesthouses were shut due to winter/COVID and ended the hike as friends. If you are thinking of hiking anywhere in the Himalayas look no further than Prime Himalayas!!

I had Bhaktapur tour with One Nepal Treks and Tours. Binaya took good care of me during the entire tour. I was into morning photography of Bhaktapur city which is full ancient architecture, ancient town with narrow alleys. Binaya supported my photography tour with great patience. I would like to thank him for letting me enjoy my passion in Bhaktapur and also for being so friendly. Binaya is a true tourism entrepreneur and has mastered his capability of understanding the exact needs of his clients. Nepaltrekstour.com and Binaya both are highly recommended.

We hired a private car with a guide for $75 for the day. We are completely happy with what we were able to see and do. The guide was able to show us places we would have missed on our own. We also drove out to try and see Mt Everest but the clouds were in the way. We did see Anapura Mt and 7 people trekking at the base camp were swept to their deaths by an avalanche. The temples we saw were all top notch. The type of things you see in National Geographic. I really recommend going to Kathmandu and seeing such a different and interesting culture.

I was really astonished by the beauty of the mountains, they Look undescribably beautiful. Also Shishir is probably the best guide you can get in Nepal, he will provide you much background information, not only about the country of Nepal, but also about those georgeous mountains, everyone should have seen at least once in their lifetime. He also has very good english skills, and I felt like he treated me more like a friend, than only a costumer. I would definetly recommend this Trip to everyone who is short on time, but really wants to grab a glance at some of the most beautiful places in the world is advised to take these trip :) It's also nice because you don't have to worry about organisation of the accomodation or food and can focus on the beauty of this trekking trail
