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.

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.

Enjoy this 7-hour day trip to Bhaktapur and Panauti. The UNESCO-protected Bhaktapur city is a great example of arts and crafts dating to the medieval age. On the other hand Panauti will offer you a great chance to admire not only the architecture, but also wonders of nature.

Sangita, Bipin were wonderful - they were generous with their time, friendly, and looked after my brother and I very well. Every aspect of our trip was planned well and we knew that they were always available to help if we needed anything. Cannot recommend anyone more. We spent 9 days trekking the Tamang heritage trail followed by the Langtang trek with our guide Palsang and our Porter Kazu, both organised by Sangita. Trekking with knowledgable and friendly experts ensured our safety and made the experience much more enjoyable. My brother and I plan to return to Nepal one day and plan to organise any trip we book with Sangita!
