December - January Nepal Tour Review

I spent 8 days in Kathmandu and Bhutan in January 2020. I organised my trip through itournepal. Rabi was so helpful and responsive during the planning stage. I was so excited to get there and to get going. My trip was beyond incredible - Rabi had listened and organised a trip that took in incredible sites but gave me plenty of time to wander and look for the authentic experiences you have by slowing down and interacting with people. Sarjan, my guide in Kathmandu was sensational. He was incredibly knowledgable and interesting. He was flexible which meant that we could change the itinerary and timing to ensure that I was able to linger longer at places. In Bhutan my guide Drukpa and driver Ram were the best. Drukpa again was very knowledgable and Ram such a good driver. They helped make the trek to Tigers Nest enjoyable - I am terrified of heights!! We had such a great time on our 4 day road trip - if you’re lucky Ram will even sing for you as you drive through the stunning Bhutanese countryside. I will definitely be returning to Nepal and will definitely use Rabi and his team again. If you want to discover the real Nepal use a local tour company, use itournepal. - Georgie Mary - Hong Kong
