7 Day Kathmandu Pokhara Tour

Look no further. Himalayan social journey has something for everyone and to suit all ages and budgets..a fantastic tim

I booked my tour of Nepal from the UK. It was seamless and I was collected from the airport and a quick transfer to the hotel. The tour was amazing, spending time in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Sarangkot before returning to Kathmandu for my last night. As I was travelling solo, I was able to join other groups for city tours and some transfers. The guides were incredible people, very knowledgeable, good communicators and excellent advocates for Nepal. The company arranged a tourist bus - sofa seats and very comfy, to drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and just under 8 hours with toilet and food stops. If you have the time, you must make this trip, it has more thrills than a theme park and a fantastic opportunity to see the countryside HSJ picked the hotels which, in the main were great. Communication was very good and I was kept abreast of the itinerary. HSJ provides a comprehensive range of services and activities ranging from walking/trekking/climbing to plane and helicopter tours water based activities and, of course, sightseeing etc and not just in Nepal. I have to say that I am very tempted to come back to Nepal and I would not hesitate to book through Himalayan Social Journey.

Hotel

The hotel proved at Sarangkot was very poor quality. We had to look for another hotel on our own. They did reimburse the cost for us. Make sure you provide feedback if they give you poor quality hotel.

Solo travel top!

I want to sincerely thank Himalayan Social Journey for supporting me with kindness and helpfulness in my journey alone. I always felt safe, I asked to change multiple stops during my trip and they were always incredibly on piece! And the costs are great! Recommendation! Also on the last day I left a sweatshirt on the bus and they were really kind to send it to Italy! Fantastic!

It was a very good trip which I really enjoyed

I am a 68year old woman, I love bush walking and I traveled to Nepal to do a Luxury Escape Tour including 7 days of trekking on the Mardi Himal Trek to a view point at 4005m. Included as well was sightseeing Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Hotel accomodation and Teahouse accomodation on trekking days, all breakfasts and some lunches and dinners. For me the Trekking was the highlight. I really loved it and when I close my eyes I still can see all the snow covered peaks of the Anapurna range and especially Mt Machhapuchhare, which was our constant feature on the trekking days. We were only a very small group (4 people) due to Corona Virus, but we had 2 porters "Sorro" and "Pekay" ( do not know, what the correct spelling of their names is) they were so friendly with always a smile although they were carrying quite a heavy load. Binod our guide was very professional and we had lots of fun together. Nobody got Altitude sickness but we got snowed in at High Camp, so never made it to the viewpoint, but I realized how lucky we were to have a professional guide, who knew what to do to get us out and knew the way out even in meter high snow. Overall, the hotels were all quite good, I loved my daily Bhat Dhal and I am planning a return to Nepal to walk maybe the Anapurna Circuit with the company again Thanks for great memories, guys

Response from the operator: So thankful for your sweet words. We are pleased to be a part of your wonderful lifetime memories. See ya soon for another great fun trip.

Fantastic December trekking holiday in himalayan foothills

Himalayan Social Journey were fantastic from our planning stages through to being met on time at the airport by their friendly knowledgeable guides and then the magnificent tours of kathmandu and trekking up to Poon Hill look out passing through gorgeous mountain villages such as ghorepani and tadapani. Amazing holiday with teenage children - we played cards and danced and felt a connection with the guides and porters as well as the party comprised of 4 groups of trekkers (14 tourists).it was a lovely holiday in late December. Cold at night but clear skies and sunny days. Please think about this for your next holiday.

Response from the operator: We are absolutely thrilled to learn about your positive experience with us in Nepal. It makes us proud to know that we were able to take care of you and make your vacation a memorable one. We hope to be able to serve you and your family again.
