Bhutan is a fascinating country with incredibly beautiful monasteries and nature. The hike up to the Tigress nest monastery was the highlight of the trip. Our guide and driver were quite helpful and I would highly recommend this trip

I joined the 7 UNESCO Heritage Tour in Kathmandu and it was such a memorable day! The tour was well-paced and covered all the iconic heritage sites – from Swayambhunath to Boudhanath and Pashupatinath. Every place had its own charm and history, and our guide explained everything in such an interesting way. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and lunch box was delicious with a great local flavor. I didn’t feel rushed at all – we had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy each site. It’s the perfect tour if you want to experience the cultural heart of Kathmandu in one day. Thank you to the team for making it so smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The Helicopter Tour of Everest and Hotel Everest View was honestly one of the most breathtaking things I’ve ever done. From the moment we took off, the views just kept getting better and better. Flying over the Himalayas felt surreal – like something out of a movie. We did face a bit delay in the morning because of weather in Kathmandu, but once we were up in the air, everything went smooth and professional. The landing at Hotel Everest View was the highlight – having tea while looking at Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks is a memory I’ll keep forever. The pilot and the ground team were very supportive and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. Can’t recommend this experience enough – if you’re in Nepal and want to see Everest up close without trekking, this is the best way to do it. — Highly recommended!

From the moment the tour began, everything was smooth, well-organized, and full of insights. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the rich history and culture of each site come alive. From the spiritual ambiance of Swayambhunath and Pashupatinath to the vibrant squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur – every stop was a highlight. The transport was comfortable, lunch was tasty, and the pace of the tour was just right. I felt well taken care of throughout the day. Highly recommended! If you're visiting Nepal, this is a must-do experience – and Luxury Holidays Nepal does it best. Thank you for such a wonderful day!
