Great experience! - shiva was a great tour planner. he planned everything for us for our stay in nepal and we didn’t lift a finger, just be at the lobby in the morning and everything was sorted for us. it made the vacation unforgettable and very stress free as we didn’t have to worry about anything. all the tours that shiva planned for us were very enjoyable, family friendly and very affordable. definitely recommend shiva and when we return to nepal we will be seeking his services again. every accommodation that shiva booked for us was amazing with all meals included as well as a driver to take us to places.

Nagarkot Sunrise and hiking tour - Shiva helped arrange my sunrise visit to Nagarkot followed by a hike and crossing one of the suspension bridges across the Bagmati. We finished with a visit to Bhaktapur for the Durbah and King Curd. The driver and tour guide were professional yet friendly, and I had no hassles at all on my tour. I would totally recommend using Sabbatical Explore Nepal.

Spectacular sunrise over magical Himalayas - This company made my stay worthwhile. On the first day I visited Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa (UNESCO heritage site). The next morning I left for Chengdunarayan for a day hike to Nagarkot, from where I could see the sunset and sunrise over the Himalayas. The hike is pretty easy and can be completed in 3 hours (if you don’t stop as much as I did along the way). I was not fortunate to catch the sunset, as it was overcast, but I was treated to a spectacular thunderstorm within an hour after arriving at my hotel in Nagarkot. The next morning was magical! The skies were open and I could witness the sunrise, with an undisrupted view of the Himalayas. It’s breathtakingly beautiful, and a trip worth taking when you find yourself in Kathmandu, since Nagarkot is very close to the city. On my way back to Kathmandu, I visited Bakhtaphur Heritage village, rich in culture and history. I’m glad that I left all the arrangements to Sabbatical Explore Nepal and would recommend their services anytime!

beautiful nepal - My sister and I really enjoyed our time in Nepal on our Holiday adventure itinerary. We did many amazing activities and met some wonderful people. Some highlights include paragliding, zip lining, safari, and mountain flights. We especially enjoyed Pokhara and it's mountain views and walking around the town visiting shops and restaurants. My friend and the tour organizer Mr. Shiva were supportive and he did a great job answering all our questions, helping us along, and being available to us. We also did a city tour of Kathmandu The only we didn't like was the road which was in bad condition and spent hours of traveling to our next destination. sometimes we wasted a whole day traveling which was tiring. other than that our trip was good We were very happy we chose to visit Nepal in this weather which was sunny and beautiful every day. We learned a lot about the country, culture, food, and people and would recommend this trip to all our friends!

A great day out! - Shiva is a great guide, he is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He knows the best places to visit in Kathmandu and organized my tour without any hassle. The driver was very friendly and helpful. Traveling solo I was made to feel at ease and didn’t have to worry about getting around for the day in Kathmandu. Would definitely recommend!
