First time in Nepal
Since this was my very first time visiting Nepal, I preferred to book my trips from Kathmandu with a local travel company, instead of planning it myself (or planning it back home with some European touristic companies).
In particular, I finally chose "Himalayan Summit Treks and Expedition Pvt.", because of two main reasons:
First: they have an easily-reachable office in Thamel, near the main touristic area (at the second/ third floor of the building, depending on your measuring system), so it was easy to find some time in between the shopping to plan our trip! The staff there are always available to help, and they were very patient to help me decide the best options for me.
Second reason: the value for money was very reasonable (and also cheaper than other nearby companies!)
I booked a Pokhara trip from Kathmandu: the itinerary was perfect considering our time, allowing me to fully enjoy the real Nepal, far from seeing only the touristic part of it. Also, the guides were professional and funny, adding great value to the journey with their knowledge.
I liked the trip so much that, after that, I actually booked another one! The second trip I booked with this company was a weekend in the Chitwan National Park, in the southern part of Nepal. I highly recommend to book this one if you are a nature lover, since you will have the opportunity to spot some wild animals and feel like you are a character in the "Jungle book"! Also, last but not least, the value for the safari was very cheap, mostly considering the fact that we stayed in a luxury Resort in Sauraha. This experience was simply amazing, but also relaxing (since I didn't have to plan anything: the staff will do everything for you!)
Honestly, I couldn't be more happy with my choice!
I’m already looking forward to planning a trek with them next season! :)
Dhanyavaad!
