β€œAble to see the mountain peaks up close and it was a smooth flight. Pick up and Drop off by an amazing driver. Worth doing this tour”

β€œI booked my tour of Nepal from the UK. It was seamless and I was collected from the airport and a quick transfer to the hotel. The tour was amazing, spending time in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Sarangkot before returning to Kathmandu for my last night. As I was travelling solo, I was able to join other groups for city tours and some transfers. The guides were incredible people, very knowledgeable, good communicators and excellent advocates for Nepal. The company arranged a tourist bus - sofa seats and very comfy, to drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and just under 8 hours with toilet and food stops. If you have the time, you must make this trip, it has more thrills than a theme park and a fantastic”

β€œThis activity is really worth it. It may be considered costly for what things are worth in Nepal, but it is really not expensive since they only sell the seats that face the window and it seems that they already understood what those who do not have visual can sell either by the wings or the engines, that is, an aircraft with approximately 80 seats sell about 22 stalls. It really is a beautiful experience!!”

β€œVery organized from being provided my ticket in advance of my hotel pickup, to the counter, and hotel drop off. Picked this company due to the reviews and the schedule worked for my own schedule. It was a thrill to see Mt Everest, not too many people can say they've done this. Highly recommended.”

β€œAmazing introduction to Kathmandu and Nepal. We did this tour the day after arriving. Our guide Dependra was extremely knowledgeable and easy going through out the whole tour, plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. Our driver Bakhat did an excellent job navigating the crazy streets of Kathmandu.”

β€œI had a wonderful experience with this Nepal-based travel agencyβ€”they played a huge role in making my Bhutan trip possible by seamlessly connecting me with a trusted local agency there. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, answering all my questions and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Their coordination with the Bhutan agency was excellent, which made the transition between countries effortless. I also had an amazing stay in Nepal thanks to them. Everything was well-arranged, and I felt well taken care of throughout my time there. Their warmth and hospitality really stood out and m”

β€œOne of the most amazing experiences of my life. The price seemed high but was worth every single cent for a once in a lifetime experience. The booking company Himalayan Social Journey were very professional and had great communication. The helicopter company were also very professional and I felt completely safe at all times. The pilot provided information during the whole experience pointing out everything of interest. Landed at Lukla Airport, Gorakshep and Everest View Hotel for breakfast.”

β€œAnother amazing experience booked with Himalayan Social Journey who have great communication. Sitting in the back of the helicopter was very uncomfortable, 4 people squeezed very tightly. Virtually impossible to get any photos or video. However the flight to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) turned out to not what it was about. Being on the ground at ABC was the real experience. Plenty of time to walk and look around and enjoy 360Β° view of the Annapurnas/Himalayas. Absolutely awesome.”

β€œI highly recommend this scenic flight if the weather is playing ball. What an experience. I was super happy with the service of HSJ. The driver was at the hotel at the time confirmed and dropped me back after the flight. Everything went very smoothly. The flight is 45 - 60 minutes but it felt longer as I was so excited to fly over the Himalaya. Loved it. My wife did it the next day and had the same seamless and exciting experience. Thank you!”

β€œβ€‹We booked the group tour to 7 UNESCO sites - it was easily the highlight of our trip to Kathmandu. Covering all seven sitesβ€”Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, etc. β€”in a single day is a marathon, but our guide - Ashok, made it feel seamless. ​Ashok is incredibly knowledgeable, funny and pleasant - explaining from intricate Newari architecture to the deep spiritual significance of the cremation rituals at Pashupatinath. The van was air-conditioned and clean, which was a lifesaver given the Kathmandu traffic. If you are short on time and want to see the best of Nepal’s history, this is the tour to book. Highly recommend, especially with guide Ashok Silwal, author of the book 'Everest - a”

β€œOur guide was Dipendra Dharel, a very polite, professional, and kind young man. He immersed us in Nepalese life and its rich history and culture. With great patience, he answered all the questions we asked him. He also shared fascinating details about the architecture of every temple we visited. It was an intense day that flew by, as we moved between the past and the presentβ€”we didn’t even notice how an entire day had passed! Absolutely a β€œmust do” experience when visiting Kathmandu. And if you’re lucky enough to have a guide like ours, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a desire to come back and learn even more. Thank you, Dipendra Dharel! Read more See all 10 photos”

A grand welcome and love respect meted out at Kathmandu by Mr Amrit , mrs Sushma and entire team completes surpasses the professional touch . For me”
