Our visit to Nepal was an awesome experience, made even better by our travel agent who arranged guided sightseeing tours for us. Our trip was organized by Everest Vacation for both Nepal and Bhutan, and everything went smoothly. We had fantastic private guided sightseeing tours in Kathmandu and an amazing hike to Nagarkot. Our tour guide, Dipak, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Everest Vacation to anyone looking for a great travel experience in Nepal and Bhutan.

I just wanted a refreshment from my hectic schedule and had a day off. My friend helped me book a day hike in Kathmandu. He booked with Everest Vacation and a guide picked me up from my hotel. Dipak was my guide and he was polite and had a good sense of humor. I enjoyed his company and reached Nagarkot for sunrise. I must admit I forgot my stress at once when I observed the sunrise over snow-capped mountains. The green natural views and natural beauty around there attracted me. I felt rejuvenated. We had breakfast and started hiking towards ancient Newari village Changu Narayan. The village was peaceful and very beautiful. One of the oldest temples is listed on the World Heritage site. The history of the place was interesting to hear from my guide. A day hike was incredible. A great thanks to Dipak for making it enjoyable. I loved it.

My first time in Nepal and I was amazed to see the raw beauty of this country with Everest Vacation. They planned a fantastic tour for me. Even for a solo traveler, they arranged a local guide and a private vehicle which was impressive. My favorite moment was the hike to Chisapani from Sundarijal and the sunrise view from Nagarkot. The local food as suggested by Umesh was good and I will recommend you to try it as well. I will be coming again and this time I will visit Tibet and Bhutan too with Everest Vacation. I rate this company very highly and would recommend it for solo travelers like me.

I was just a backpacker wandering on my own while traveling throughout the world. However, this tour of Nepal made me realize the importance of a good guide, especially in a new country. Some of the places I went would never have been on my radar if I was alone. Similarly, the local suggestions in anything from food to shopping areas were just worth it.
I had a well-rounded tour of Kathmandu Bhaktapur and Lalitpur in Nepal. But the highlight for me, if asked, will be the Everest Heli tour. As not a trekking person this was perfect for me to be closer to the Himalayas and Everest itself. I always feel that the passion to do something makes the experience more valuable. My guides here in Nepal as well as the tour operators of Everest Vacation proved it to me. The patience they showed and the urge to give every traveler more is what makes this company different and I highly recommend it.
