Upper Mustang Trek 5 stars - Did the upper mustang trail by trekking. Good views, accomodation was well selected and the porters were very helpful (I only carried my day bag). Best part of our trip was our guide, Babu as he was not only accomodating but also made friends with the group. 10/10 would recommend. Enjoy the power of Dal Baht :)

The most authentic Nepal Experience - I contacted Surya Thapa 1 year before my scheduled holiday.
His swift response and proposal made it easy to decide what kind of adventure we seek in this amazing country.
Within 1 week, I confirmed his service. To my surprise, he never pressure his potential guest for payment or any kind like that.
We decided to go for Upper Mustang 4WD Jeep Tour after seeing almost untouched Himalayan landscape.
Few days before my flight, I asked quote for EBC Helicopter tour since we have free time in Kathmandu. His quote is fast and at reasonable price.
The experience was amazing, no words can describe the massive magical mountains in this country without hiking.
Again, we decided to go for ABC Helicopter tour in Pokhara, and the experience is very different from EBC as it has 360 degree view of the mountains. The ground staff service is professional and excellent.
We would like to take this opportunity to say how grateful we are to have Surya, his partner Samsher assisting us on all the needs in Nepal.
But not forgetting very important men, Chhiring T Lama, the most down to earth guide we ever met, by treating us as family.
Not only showing us the best scenery of Nepal but also beautiful people in his homeland.
And Subash, with good instinct by stopping his car without asked, whenever he sensed we would like to take good pictures.
We enjoyed the road trip though it was bumpy and choppy because you don't make destination but journey.
We miss you both!!! already.

Self Driving Own 4x4 to Lo-Manthang - Self-driving our own 4x4 to Lo-Manthang (Upper Mustang) was a dream that developed when I came to know about it 4 years back. But it seemed it was impossible for Bengalis like us to conquer the harshest terrain of the Himalayas on own vehicle. Impossible it seemed.
But when I contacted GHA, to extend their help to realise my dream.....I wasn't disappointed. They extended their professional support in a really "more than professional manner" & today on the day of 22, November 2021, as I sit on my comfy corner at my home in Calcutta after successfully conquering Upper Mustang, I must applaud Team GHA (specially our guide Sange Sherpa, who was by our side like always 👏👏👏).
Keep up your great work Team GHA....let many others realise their dream through you as well 👍🏻

Amazing tour in Upper Mustang - This is not an easy tour, but thanks to Samsher and his team it was so perfect and amazing. We were my husband and I with a driver and a guide in a 4wd . The professional driver is essential, because the road is very challenging, sometime dangerous, very bumpy and very long. Our driver was perfect. We felt safe and secure in his hands, admiring his calmness and well knowing of the road. The guide- had good english, took good care of us managing all the logistic of the way. Upper Mustang is an amazing part of Nepal, very different from other areas that we met in previous visits. The majestic views, the serene villages, the beautiful smiling people. We highly recommend the services of Global Holiday Adventure. The itinerary was perfect, the choice of guest houses , the easy communication with Samsher before and during the tour - all these made our experience unforgettable .

Excellent service by Global Holidays! - During the booking process, I dealt only with Samsher. All my emails were answered immediately, courteously, and with all the information I needed. Once I arrived in Kathmandu, I then met Surya, and he was just as helpful, but Samsher continued to be my main contact.
And he is fantastic! He went above and beyond to take care of every small detail of my trip, and also helped me with things he wouldn't have had to, like getting a Russian visa. I felt totally safe & secure on the Mustang trip knowing that every detail had been taken care of. I had an excellent guide and the best vehicles. We had to change vehicles multiple times because of the roads, and somehow there was always one waiting for us - a great feat of logistics, considering lack of cell phone coverage and remoteness! Global Holidays and Samsher and Surya are totally professional, 100% honest and reliable, and I highly recommend them for any travel you want to do - from a one day trip to extended travel in the Himalayas.
