And many more like old ancient temples, the lifestyle of people living around, etc. You will discover all three ancient cities of the country Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. Kathmandu is home to many UNESCO world heritage sites. Every year thousands of pilgrims of Hindu and Buddhist visit Kathmandu for Pashupatinath and swayambhunath the trip further extends to Pokhara, a place that will quench your thirst of seeing mountains from close and enjoy lakes unless you immerse in it.

I highly recommended Nepal Trek Adventure!! Two thumbs up from the beginning and until the end of our first ever Nepal Gosaikunda Lake trek and (Kathmandu-Pokhara) tour. It was indeed a success with the help of Binod's Team. They are very accommodating, friendly and all the help we needed was provided, me and and my friend feel safe and has a great adventure from city tour to trekking paragaliding, transportation and accommodation are provided and we do not even worry about a thing. Our guide Suda and porter gives excellent service to both of us, they are happy to be with and not only guided us but make us comfortable in every way. All in all excellent! I would love to go back and explore more trek adventure with NTA. Thank you so much.

A must for the bucket list!

Sometimes intuition, or gut instinct, leads you to make the right decision. I met marketing staff’s of NTA in the streets of Thamel and like many others, he gave me a business card and invited my husband and me to visit their office and discuss our travel plans. There are so many touts on the streets of Thamel but NTA’s staff open friendly manner won the day. After entering the office we found Manager is thorough, his services reliable and very affordable and his staff and a team of guides and porters are friendly, trustworthy and committed to caring for their clients. They skillfully organize all the details for a successful trip - pickups, buses, hotels, tour activities, a checklist for trekking requirements and, of course, wonderful treks. His team organized an everything for us like- Chitwan National Park, Pokhara, The Annapurna Base Camp Trek and the Helambu trek. What an experience! Chitwan was amazing and our only regret was that we did not allow more time there after our organized activities to relax and explore the local villages more. Yes, we were tired at the end of both treks but every aching muscle and sore toe was well worth it. We trekked through some of the most spectacular scenery that either of us has ever seen. The climax was, of course, Annapurna Sanctuary. It is a very special place and definitely a fitting home for the gods! The old adage holds out – no pain, no gain. We felt blessed! Trekking is a great way to get a real feel of Nepal, its countryside, its villages, its people and its magnificent mountains. I am so glad that we have had the opportunity and time to have had these wonderful experiences. A big thanks you, once again, to Manager, to our wonderful guide and friend on both treks, and our incredible porters. Don't leave it to the intuition of gut instinct like I had to, but take my advice and put your trust in the hands of Manager and the wonderful staff at NTA.

Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour

I enjoyed working with Nepal Trek Adventure. Romes worked hard to take care of every aspect of the trip around Kathmandu and Pokhara. It is nice to have every detail taken care of you including flights, hotels, tours, airport transfer and fees. This left me with more time to enjoy the spirit, the place and guidness of Nepal. I look forward to planning with them on my next trip to Nepal
