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 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.

Returning without doing mountain flight from Kathmandu, the trip is incomplete. This trip usually operates daily in the morning between 6 am to 9 am from the domestic airport from Kathmandu. It is an hour flight takes you mountain scenery including close up view of Mt. Everest (the highest peak in the World – 8,848 meters).  This is one of the best ways to see and appreciate the incredible mountain view are to see it from a bird’s point of view. And that can be done with a mountain flight to and around Mt. Everest!  A mountain flight over the Himalayas is a fantastic way to see the highest peaks in the world. Every seat is a window seat with great picture opportunities. The flight circles Mt. Everest for a 360º view of the mountain before returning to Kathmandu.

Inclusions: Airport/Departure Tax, Transport by private vehicle, Hotel pickup and drop-off inside ring road (Including Bouddha area), Mountain flight ticket at Buddha Air or Yeti Air or Shree Air (Subject to availability)

Manaslu Circuit trek is one of the best treks I have done in Nepal. I found that guide was compulsory and was recommended to contact Arjit by my friend. He organized everything for us and everything went all smooth. Our guide Ram was very good in explaining Mountains and cultures. Would definitely recommend them for trek in Nepal. Thankyou to all the team
