We had our high school trip in Nepal on march 2019 and we brought around 25 students between 15 to 17 years old with us. Nepal was one of the most exotic place that we visited in our live. The people of Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition were extremely kind to us and they made us discovered an amazing country rich of culture, peoples and traditions. Also, they were extremely conscientious about the quality of the water of the food that the restaurants served us. All the students and the teachers felt in love with the kindness of Mr.Navaraj and the other guides. several tears flowed at the airport when we left. Thank you for taking care of us, thank you for all the stories, the smiles, the aventures and all the memories you created. One day, We’ll be back in a personal trip and there will be no other choice than Everest Tour Nepal & Expedition

We traveled to India and Nepal during Feb 2020. During our trip we went to Delhi, Agra & Jaipur in India and Kathmandu valley tour and Nagarkot in Nepal. It was wonderful experience with Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition, we visited lots of monuments, palaces, beautiful stupas and Sunset from Nagarkot hill station. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, very comfortable vehicle, nice hotel arrangement and top of it was very reasonable in price. We also took 1 hour flight to see Mt. Everest, which was also the main highlight of our trip.
We highly recommend this company to other travelers.

Our Nepal tour with Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition was good. Good vehicle, airport staff, guide and hotel. But only one thing we regret was not taking the guide service. Engaging tour guide should be compulsory. A driver/car on its own is of no use.

      Dear Pascal,
      Thank you for your query. Please note although Nepal is Himalayan destination to see snow (specially during Summer time) you need to go to mountainous region which can be reached by several days trekking (due to lack of proper transportation service). However during Winter season, Kathmandu-the capital city and surrounding hills also gets occasional snowfall. The popular snowfall destinations around Kathmandu are Phulchoki, Chandragiri, Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Dahachowk, Tistung (Daman), Kalinchowk, Gosainkunda, Jomsom (Muktinath) etc.
      Thanks,
      Navaraj

      Dear Melaine, Thank you for your query. Nagarkot is the nearby hill station to Kathmandu (Capital city of Nepal) famous for Sunrise/Sunset Views and the Mountain Views. The mountains that can be seen from Nagarkot are likely Manaslu range, Ganesh Himal Range, Langtang, Jugal Range, Rolwaling Range, Everest Range and Numbur Range from here. However Mount Everest in particular can be viewed in a very clear weather day.
