100% Would Recommend!! - Such an amazing tour 10/10 would recommend! Paras and Buddhi were both fantastic. We got to see all of the major sites + much more. Their knowledge of each place was tremendous. Our trip to Nepal was made by these two.

City Tours/ Everest Helicopter Tour - Our guide Paras was absolutely brilliant on all 3 days. He was punctual, polite, intelligent and informative - with a good sense of humour too. He’s without doubt the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. Behind the scenes Buddhi was organising all the timings and pickups - his personal attention was second to none. He visited our hotel to run through the whole itinerary for the Everest Helicopter Basecamp tour - with breakfast stop off at the Everest View Hotel. The whole experience was faultless.

More than just a city tour - Great tour of the city and surrounding area! While waiting for a helicopter tour to the base camp due to bad weather, the operator offered to use the option of a car tour to the sights of the city and surrounding area. And it didn’t disappoint! In the shortest possible time, we saw everything we wanted and even more! Dawn over the Himalayas, Temples, squares and other attractions of the city - all with stories and answers to any questions! Guide Paras is a master of his craft and an incredibly pleasant person, for which he deserves special respect! No rush, complete adaptation to the needs and wishes of the group - I have never seen anything like this in many many trips. Five points!

Fantastic tour of Kathmandu - We did two tour days around Kathmandu and Paras is a fantastic tour guide. His English is perfect and he is a wonderful storyteller and full of knowledge! We learnt so much and would highly recommend. Himself and a driver pick you up at your hotel each day and the driver waits around while you go to look at the sights and then collects you all to drive you to the next stop. You can leave personal belongs in the car in between sights so you don't have to carry everything during the day. It is all really well planned out and the lunch places we visited were both rooftop restaurants with great views.
Paras will suggest sights to see but is more than happy to adjust the itinerary if you'd like to suggest places to visit.

Travel like you’re with family. - If you’re going to Kathmandu, working with Himalaya Holiday Service is a must. They are friendly, prompt in their responses, and extremely professional in their recommendations and organizing of your trip. I’d recommend reaching out to them directly using [email protected] to talk about what you would like to see and hear what recommendations they have for things you can see. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport as well as transported us to sites every day with water. When you travel with this company, you feel like you’re traveling with family.
I just came back from the trip of a lifetime and spent 5 days in Kathmandu. Our guide Paras was extremely knowledgeable and focused on making sure our family was comfortable and taken care of. We had such an amazing time and Paras also made sure we have plenty of great family photos too! Can’t wait to come back to Nepal again some day and see more of the country. After sharing our experience with friends back home, we now have many people who’d like to visit and take this tour themselves.
