Best Travel Company: showing how it is done
We booked a 6-day tour in two beautiful cities of Nepal. Kathmandu and Pokhara were both suggestions from our dear friend who was here last summer. Our second time enjoying a trip conducted by Everest Vacation, and we knew they will do a great job. The experience turned out to be better with an unexpected stop to Bandipur courtesy of Netra and Umesh. The paragliding from Sarangkot perfectly completed our tour and we were a happy couple after this holiday. I have a few plans in my bag for my next visit to Nepal and there are few companies to do it with then Everest Vacation.

A trip enclosing various lifelong experience!
I am a person that sets a bar high for everything. For a vacation as well it is difficult to please me. But, this tour of the fantastic destinations of Nepal has me on my knees. Never before had I felt about a place like here. I was humbled by the majestic views and magical monuments of Pokhara and Kathmandu.
I selected Everest vacation randomly and I had a few expectations. But, the tour organized by the team and assistance provided by Umesh was very helpful. Even during the hikes here, I had every help available to make everything smooth. As a solo traveler, I was amazed at the photography skills of my guide too. I recommend Netra and Everest Vacation for a pristine vacation in Nepal.
