Highlights of Nepal Tour - Enjoyed a one week tour around three of Nepal’s major destinations, Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan National Park. Trekking Planner helped to organize the entire trip and customize the itinerary as we wanted. The local guides chosen by Trekking Planner helped to accompany us at each stop of our journey and were all deeply knowledgeable of the cities and culture. We appreciated the attention to detail that Trekking Planner put into crafting a pleasant adventure and the quality of choices from hotels to attractions that they made.

Great highlights of Kathmandu tour - My tour of Kathmandu with Kedar was great. I spent 4 hours seeing some of the highlights of Kathmandu and learning about the history and culture of the region. The tour is paced according to your wishes which is nice after traveling for a day to reach Nepal. I highly recommend this tour if you want to catch some of the major attractions of Kathmandu in a relatively short period of time.

Highly recommended trip! Don't think much, just book it! - I loved this trip and my guide Kedar was just amazing!!! I was picked up from my hotel lobby in the morning and saw 4 Unesco Sites. It turned out that Kedar used to be the President of the Nepal Tour Guide Association and everywhere we went, he was known and greeted warmly. He made sure I had good pictures and he also talked to a monk he knew for a permission to take a picture with him. I was the only tourist this day and Kedar adjusted the tour per my liking, making sure that I had plenty of time to do my souvenir and singing bowls shopping. I highly recommend this trip and Trekking Planner! Thank you guys!
