Trekking in Nepal
Everything about our experience with Shambhala Holidays was positive for our three week Nepal family holiday in December 2019. Our tour organiser Sonam worked with us to develop a three week itinerary that included Kathmandu sightseeing, Pokhara, 5 day Poon Hill Trek, Chitwan National Park and Nagarkot. Sonam met us at the airport and introduced us to the guides for our trip. The guides were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, patient and engaging on the treks.
It was my first trip to Nepal, my friend recommended me to contact Shambhala Holidays (Pema and Sonam). Sonam has fully organized my trip – hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, transfer, air tickets, permits and mountain trek. Also Sonam helped me to fulfill one more my dream – paragliding. In addition I want to mention my guide Chongnuri. He is a friendly guy who arranged all accommodations and meals on the trek, he did his best to make my journey easier and more comfortable.
