Unforgettable Trip - I just finished the incredible 10-day Nepal Cultural Highlights Tour and can't recommend it enough! The itinerary was fantastic. We covered so much history and culture, from the stunning temples of Kathmandu to Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable, bringing the sights to life. The jungle safari in Chitwan was an unforgettable experience, as we spotted rhinos and elephants in their natural habitat. A truly immersive and enriching journey through the heart of Nepal!

Pati geriausia patirtis - Į šią kelionę su savo draugais išvykau vasario mėnesio gale ir sugrįžau tik kovo gale. Nepalas yra nuostabi ir kultūros kupina šalis, o šis turas man padėjo šią šalį dar labiau pažinti ir pamilti. Šią agentūrą parekomendavo draugai, kurie 2018 metais vyko į Anapurnos bazinę stovyklą. Tačiau aš nesu labai aktyvaus laisvalaikio megėja tai pasirinkau ramesnį ir labiau pažintinį turą. Galiu pasakyt, kad šis turas nors ir branegsnis, tačiau tikrai to vertas. Kartu aplankėme pagrindinius miestus kaip Katmandu, Lumbini, Pokharą ir Čitvaną. Visi šie miestai paliko neišdildomą įspūdį, ne tik dėl savo grožio, bet ir todėl, kad jie visi labai skirtingi. Katmandu yra beveik niekada nemiegantis miestas, pilnas įvairių lankytinų vietų. Pokhara man ir mano draugams dar labiau patiko, vien dėl to, nes šis miestas yra visiška Katmandu priešingybė. Čia tvyrauja tokia ramybė ir šiaip visą laiką esi apsuptas kalnų, tad poilsis prie Fevos ežero sukuria visai kitokią atmosferą. Lumbini išsiskyrė savo turtinga istorija. Tik kelionės metu sužinojau, jog Lumbinis yra Budos gimtinė, šis faktas privertė į miestą pažiūrėti į miestą visai kitokiu kampu. Kelionės Lumbinyje metu, praėjome visą gausybę skirtingų šventyklų ir aplankėme daug istoriškai svarbių vietų. Na, o kai apsilankėme Čitvane, leidomės į Džiunglių safarį. Nors tigro ir nepamatėme, tačiau safario metu matėme daug kitų gyvūnų kaip raganosius, stirnas, povus, dramblius bei aligatorius. Nors jau praėjo kelios savaitės po mano apsilankymo šioje šalyje, tačiau aš vis dar kupina įspūdžių. Tad lietuviai, ir visi kiti, kurie planuojate vykti į Nepalą tikrai nedvėjokite, nes ši šalis nuostabi, o ir ši agentūra tikrai viena geriausių. To the agency I am saying one big THANK YOU. This trip was amazing!

Amazing experience! - I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to thank this agency, especially Devi and Nilham, for ensuring I had the best experience during my time here. This trip was my first time leaving Europe for Nepal, and it was truly eye-opening. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nepal highlights tour and can confidently say that this was not my last time in Nepal. I will definitely come back. Thank you, Asian Heritage Team, for making this trip unforgettable!

Beautiful Nepal - I really enjoyed this tour. Our holiday was well organised and we were looked after very well. It was amazing to see many different regions of Nepal, from the frenetic cityscape of Kathmandu, the green, animal filled jungle of Chitwan, the cultural history in Lumbini, and the mind-blowing Himalayas in Pohkara. I would have loved to spend more time in Pokhara, as I really enjoyed exploring this interesting and beautiful city. The roads in Nepal are insane, and I struggled to believe how long it was going to take to cover such short distances, but we always felt safe with Jevan at the wheel, as we were navigated safely around the country. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great snapshot and cultural experience of Nepal - We had an excellent 10-day experience in Nepal covering 4 very different and beautiful cities in their own way: Kathmandu, Lumbini, Chitwan and Pokhara. The company owner, Nilhim, was excellent at responding to our needs and being flexible with our trip (you can slightly amend the itinerary if you wish depending on your experience and interests). Jon was extremely attentive over email and was informative, detailed and swift with his responses. He was very good at answering any questions we had. Devi managed the trip, tour and tour guides very well and it was great to have him on Whatsapp in the country to change/inform us of the trip itinerary. Our driver for 10 days, Kalu, was extremely patient, punctual and warm - he made our trip smooth and excellent. The tour guides were brilliant, especially Hari (Kathmandu) and Roman (Pokhara) - Roman was extremely knowledgeable and answered so many of our questions. He is such a nice person with amazing stories and understanding of Nepalese life, and really made our trip in Pokhara a memorable experience. I would recommend spending most of your time in Pokhara as this was our favourite place as it was very scenic, had plenty of hikes, and amazing restaurants and bars. We realised we had an extra day until we flew back home, and also removed a final day tour in Kathmandu to Pokhara. So had 4 days in Pokhara instead of 2 in the end because it was so nice. The company were accommodating at arranging this with the guides, driver and hotels. The journeys between the cities are very long and bumpy in the car (6 hours on average), so just be aware of this and keep an open mind, but equally a great way to see the whole country. Lastly, whilst Chitwan holds some beautiful wildlife (namely rhinos, birds and crocodiles, plus some tiger footprints!) and great bar and restaurants and activities (jungle safari, jungle walk and canoe cruise), there is an underbelly of mistreatment to elephants. We unfortunately witnessed elephants being beaten in paddocks, ridden, and, worst of all, chained up for 19 hours of the day in a government elephant "training" and "breeding" centre. So please make sure to tell the company and tour guide in Chitwan to avoid this on your trip as we didn't know this at all, let alone be visible to tourists. Whilst we know animal welfare is questionable/poor in many parts of the world, had we known, we would have not taken part in the walk around these areas. Therefore, stipulate to the company and guide to avoid these areas as, personally, we didn't want to indirectly be involved in any way to this - with the money of this trip and our witnessing of it to condone this at all. However, this is not the company's fault, as Nepal still has a long way to go in its treatment of animals - especially intelligent, social elephants. Overall, we had an excellent time in Nepal - great experiences, excellent value and a reliable, trustworthy company for seeing Nepal.
