I had a wonderful experience and felt genuinely cared for from the first day to the last. I was never left alone for a second and always felt safe, supported, and looked after. The team was incredibly kind, attentive, and flexible, adjusting plans whenever needed to suit my preferences and pace. Their warmth and professionalism made my trip truly special. Thank you for taking such good care of me!
During the 3 day Kathmandu tour I experienced some of the most fascinating and meaningful places in Nepal 😍🇳🇵 Every day brought something different, and I truly felt that I saw and learned far more with Best Trek and Adventure than I would have on my own. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip. The organization was excellent, communication was smooth, and everything was handled professionally. I left with not only beautiful memories and photos, but also a much deeper appreciation for Nepal and its people 🙏🏻 I can deeply recommend this tour company and especially my guide Prakash to anyone visiting Kathmandu and wanting an authentic, enriching, and worry free experience for affordable price! ❤️
We had an absolutely amazing experience with this agency during our Annapurna trek in Nepal. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized and handled in a professional way. The whole team was incredibly kind, helpful, and always attentive to every detail. We especially want to highlight the guide in Kathmandu (Mr. Prakash), who was extremely competent, professional, and reassuring throughout the preparation and organization of the trip. In the mountains, the trekking guides were also fantastic - very friendly, caring, approachable, and always in a good mood. They truly made the experience even more enjoyable. The lodges during the Annapurna trek were honestly beyond our expectations, with an unmatched level of comfort for such remote locations. Every evening, warm meals were waiting for us, the food was varied and delicious, and there was always more than enough to eat. We even had hot showers in some locations. We also included a visit of Pokhara as well as Bhaktapur in Katmandu after our trek, which was stunning. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-organized, professional, and human adventure in Nepal.
Prakash was great and very knowledgeable about all of the temples and locations that we visited on the tour. He took extra care to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves and we couldn’t have asked for a better top sites overview of Kathmandu. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic tour around the Annapurnas. Great sight seeing at the 6'000, 7'000 and 8'000 metre high summits. During the whole preparation, Mahesh has been always ready to assist, answering my Email within a couple of hours. Once arrived in Nepal, Prakash took the lead and made sure that the whole journey would go smoothly. We added guided tours in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bhaktapur. Many thanks to the whole team. I recommend 100% Best Trek and Adventure
We took a day tour in Kathmandu and Prakash introduced us to the 4 UNESCO cultural heritage sites and provided a lot of information. His English skills and expertise are outstanding. We can only recommend his agency!
If there was a PhD in tourguiding, Prakash would be the valedictorian of that cohort. Prakash can speak to the history of the sites as well as provide insights on what each one of the sites mean in the context of Nepali contemporary culture. Prakash has a Masters degree in Sociology from the premier university in Nepal. That puts him at an incredible advantage over other guides as he integrates stories and insights towards overall experience of all sites we visited. This is also my wife’s second time working with Prakash. His friends in the Nepali community provide other than tours including discounted gems and experiences (restaurants to eat from, etc.) that only a true insider can provided. Prakash is your one stop expert tour guide! He knows how to work with you and your family/team to get the best out of any Nepali trip. “Dr.” Prakash, looking forward to working with you again in the near future: a trek, another trip, history, and culture. Amazing!
My mom and I did several tours with Prakash, he was very kind and knowledgeable. We will definitely do more when we come back to Nepal! We went to Patan, Bhaktapur, and Kathmandu, we did half days and full days, would definitely recommend. Thank you so much 😊
It was a great tour with Best Trek and Adventure. They have provided us great guide and transportation. We did Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site Tour. Highly recommend to all this tour and agency with professional guide Prakash. Namaste.
This tour was wonderful and a must if you visit Nepal. I’m very happy that I chose this company. Our guide, Prakash, knows every detail of Nepalese history and culture, which adds great context and helps you better understand this beautiful country. Highly recommended!
