Nepal Custom Trekking Tours & Trips

Our Nepal trip was amazing, Sangita planned everything very well to the last detail, and customized the itinerary exactly to our preferences. She's very knowledgeable and we learned so much from her. Walking with her while she expertly navigates the narrow streets of Kathmandu was so much fun, and we saw parts of the city few travellers get to see.
Our trek with Mitra was carefully thought out, we felt in very good hands as he did this route many times.
Sangita organized two Newari cooking classes for us which was both very exciting and tasty, and we got to learn from Nepali expert homemakers.
Sanit took us on a journey through Buddhist and Hindu temples and rituals, and gave us a very in-depth explanation of eastern philosophy.

Sangita was always on top of things, gave us constant support whenever we contacted her, and welcomed us into Nepal

We really enjoyed our stay as Aabas, the breakfast was great, shower, bed and amenities were above our expectations, the view from the rooftop pool is awe inspiring.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Hotel WoodApple

Thamel

Hotel WoodApple was okay but not quite up to our expectations. The room felt very cold and dark, unfortunately. However, the breakfast was okay. The hotel itself seemed pretty empty during our stay.

Traditional Stay

Mangalbazar, Kathmandu

The Traditional Stay in Patan offered very clean rooms, but the room configurations were quite strange. We had to change rooms a few times because each had a separate issue. The accommodation was cold with no proper heating in the rooms, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Activity Review

Local Cooking Class (2-3 hrs)

Kathmandu

We had so much fun learning from Rita and Sangita the art of making MoMo. Ours weren't particularly perfect, but with the help of our teachers we got to enjoy a great meal of our making. The food came out amazing and since we made everything from scratch we can now make it to our friends back home.

Quality of Experience

Very personal experience

Food

Sangita did an excellent job putting our trip to Nepal together. Everything worked like clockwork from the airport pick up to the drop off. She listened to our ideas and concerns and came up with the prefect trek for us (Pikey Peak). Throughout the entire planning and travel period she was always friendly, available and answered our questions without any delay. You could feel how much she cared about us and made sure we were ok both in Kathmandu as well as . She came and visited us in Kathmandu and even gave us a private walking tour in Thamil showing us some insider locations. THANK YOU Sangita.
The Pikey Peak trek was a spectacular hike along the Himalayans with stunning views of Mount Everest. Our guide, Mietra, was a local and knew the area very well. He also knew the owners of the Tea Houses and made sure we were very well taken care of. The warm breakfasts, lunches and dinners were delicious everywhere.
Our porter Buan always had a big smile on his face, despite the heavy bag he had to carry. Also a shoutout to our driver, who managed to drive us safely to/from the trails despite the very bad road conditions (most roads were washed away in September).

In Kathmandu we met Raj and Bipin, both excellent always on time and spoke excellent English. No language misunderstandings and always accommodated our needs. Food recommendations were great and we enjoyed a wonderful Nepalese experience in Kathmandu.
We went to Pokhara and Rabin did a great job accommodating all our activities such as paragliding, Sunrise Zipline, Canoeing and light trekking. Once again Rabin could not have been more helpful. Always on time or early and helped us enormously.
We went on to Chitwan at Tiger Tops, looking for Tigers. Sam was our guide, once again, as with all guides, communication was perfect and he thought outside the box to help us. In particular when I had trouble getting into the back of the jeep, he provided a crate as a stepping stool for me. Most helpful and helped make the ride more enjoyable without worrying about getting in and out of the jeep.
Food has been incredible and plentiful. All staff most accommodating and polite. Such an amazing experience.
Last we went to Bhutan and met our guide BJ and driver Mr Supra. BJ gave us a wonderful history of Buddhism and the History of Bhutan. He gave us a perfect view and taste of Bhutan. He even managed to give us a free room upgrade in one of the hotels when we wanted to be close to the dining area, as we were so happily tired from sight-seeing and needed an early morning departure to get to the start of the trek to Tigers Nest. BJ and Mr Supra could not have been more helpful in assisting us safely up to Tigers Nest Monastery and then the long trek back down to the parking lot.
What a wonderful vacation. So thankful for Social Tours help in organizing this trip, always available and always helpful and always waiting patiently at every airport to assist departures and arrivals with ease and happiness.
