Super fantastic trip! A lifetime memory!

Our Nepal-Tibet 13-day day tour with 3 days in Kathmandu, one day in Nagarkot, and one day in Dhulikhel were perfectly organized and incredible. Our private tour guides Mr. Dipak in Nepal and Mr. Dopula in Tibet were simply perfect. All arrangements were top notch including all comfortable 5* hotels. In Nepal, we visited all the sites of Durbar Square, Bhaktapur which was wonderful. Afterward, we were transferred by car to the Chinese Border in Gyirung. We stayed overnight in Gyirung, Shegar, Shigatse, Gyantse, and then the last 3 nights in Lhasa. Our Tibet highlights were visits to Rongbuk Monastery, Everest Base Camp, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, and Jokhang Temple which were phenomenal.

We are extremely happy and satisfied with our guides Mr. Dipak and Mr. Dopula. We are grateful for their patience and the knowledge they shared. Everything was perfectly organized and we were updated before and during the trip with all the details – what a relief for the traveler. A big shout-out to the Tour Operator Mr. Netra and a special thanks to him for the fantastic management of the trip from start to end.

Undoubtedly it was a super fantastic lifetime memorable trip.

Outstanding service for a once in a lifetime

Our tour was packed with some unforgettable experiences. A bulk of the credits to the tour operators Everest Vacation. The knowledgeable guides and super-skillful drivers gave it all too. Everything ran smoothly with no complications. As a cultural tour, there were some personal inclusions too with their standard tour. I am grateful for being flexible to make these changes. For anyone planning a cultural tour of Asia, I recommend this company.
