 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Himalayan Luxury Holidays made our family trip to Nepal the best vacation ever. Everything was perfectly planned and on time from the moment we landed. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the whole trip easy, comfortable, and very fun.

We learned a lot about Buddhism and spirituality by visiting the very peaceful Boudhanath Stupa and the well-preserved Bhaktapur Durbar Square, both of which are UNESCO Sites in Kathmandu.

The day hike in Nagarkot was another highlight of the trip. The air was fresh and the views of the mountains were amazing. We also flew over Everest in a plane that took our breath away. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our guide was very friendly and answered all of our questions clearly and patiently. We felt safe, well-informed, and truly cared for throughout the trip because of how professional and caring they were.

If you want to have a great time in Nepal without any stress, we highly recommend Himalayan Luxury Holidays. We couldn't have asked for a better time!
