10/10!! First time visiting to Nepal and Bhutan, and we were delighted with everything. Totally smooth sailing, amazing things to see and experience in both countries.
Amanda was communicative, and inspired confidence so we could relax and be taken care of in the multiple stops. Would not do less than 12 nights, Kathmandu x3, Pokhara x2, Chitwan x2, Kathmandu x1, and 4 in Bhutan (at 3 different spots,) which is what we did, and ideally would do a few more days in Bhutan if we had the time. Both countries are very different from each other and from anywhere else we have traveled.
Hotel Reviews
The Dwarika’s Hotel in Kathmandu was a fantastic start to our trip. Despite arriving late at night, the pickup from the airport was smooth, and the hotel itself felt like an oasis in the city.
Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge was incredible. The views were breathtaking, especially having breakfast while watching the sunrise over the Himalayas. This lodge was truly a highlight and perfect for some light hiking and relaxation.
Barahi Jungle Lodge in Chitwan National Park offered a different atmosphere. The safari experience was exciting, and we saw various wildlife. While the lodge didn't quite match the luxury of the previous hotels, it was definitely comfortable and adequate for the setting.
The Nanee in Bhaktapur was a pleasant surprise. Situated in a different neighborhood, it provided a fresh perspective of Kathmandu from our first hotel there. The hotel's tranquil environment was a perfect escape from the bustling city, and it was a pleasure to explore this new area with the same dependable guide.
Jim thanks so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure working with you and of course meeting you both in Kathmandu, I look forward to maybe seeing you in this part of the world again!
Cheers,
Amanda
