Highlights

Swayambhunath Temple - waymbhunath Stupa or Monkey Temple. It is an ancient Buddhist shrine located atop a hill right amid the city’s dotted houses. This site has a long history and great importance when it comes to religion and spirituality. Along with the giant Stupa, we can find several old age shrines, temples, a Tibetan monastery, a museum, and a library in the site area. It is also a UNESCO-listed world heritage site.

The atmosphere of Swayambhunath Stupa is a serene one. People paying a visit to the site take a rotation around the Stupa playing praying wheels. Likewise, the prayers of monks inside the Stupa will bless our ears. This whole atmosphere of the Stupa can bless us spiritually. While we get lost in the peace and prayers at the Stupa, we will see an overall look at the entire Kathmandu valley.

Great Nepal - Everything exceeded my expectations. Beautiful landscape, amazing views. It was a great experience to observe the humble life of the people in the mountain area. Traffic is incredibly chaotic for a European, but here they manage it with complete calmness and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to return again.

Annapurna Circuit - They did not fail to help us, first they received us from the airport and prepared breakfast for us at the Grand Hotel Kathmandu, then they helped us provide jeeps to transport our luggage within a quarter of an hour as we were heading to the city of Besishahar to begin the adventure of climbing the Thorang La Pass. I recommend them, they have a great staff and they can help you plan your trip.

Outstanding Lovely Family Experience!!! - Shiva had arranged for us a 12 days tour with a private driver through all the cultural places around Kathmandu, then trekking and sleep in the mountain in Pokhara, finally we went to Chitwan where we were amazed navigating through the river full of crocodiles, bush walking during which we saw several white rhinos and deer, my daughters spent almost two hours playing with baby elephants in the breeding center, and the awesome experience of the jungle safari. It was an unforgettable holidays, my daughters did not want to leave Nepal. Shiva is a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly person who schedule every detail from driver, hotels, tours, guide, meals, to make it one of the best holidays ever! Thank you very much Shiva for your kindness and professionalism!!!

Best tour and trekking package in Nepal for a short trip - We had a wonderful time with this tour and trekking operator in Kathmandu. From the beginning to end of the trip, Shiva helped us with our questions and he arranged fantastic trip package including Kathmandu Valley sightseeing and soft and short trek to famous Annapurna region. We enjoyed his tour. Kathmandu has vibrant culture impressions and trip to Pokhara and Annapurna gave us significant experience of himalayas and diverse landscapes of Nepal. Unfortunately we had short vacation. We'll surely come back to Nepal and explore more. Thank you Sabbatical Explore team and their helpful driver and guide. We highly recommend you guys to everyone! Good luck and Namaste
