5 Star · December 3, 2014 · Excellent service by Kailash. Will try and provide a review as detail as I can. Hopefully this will benefit others.Our trip was a family trip of 6 adults and 2 children, aged 8 and 10. Travel period : 15/11/2014 to 23/11/2014. The ground budget package was for 9 days and 8 nights, Kathmandu for 2 days, Nagarkot for 1 night, Pokhara for 3 days and 2 days in Chitwan.Despite the long bumpy and rough journey on the winding roads, it turned out to be a great, fun and memorable family trip. Firstly, all our listless queries were answered clearly and promptly by Kailash before our arrival. The driver Mr Mohan is friendly man and has made us feel at ease at all times. As we are Muslims, our needs to offer our prayers and eat halal food were all taken into account. Here are the lists of budget hotels that we stayed (arranged by Kailash) and a bit of review for each: 1. Thamel Hotel Kathmandu: Friendly hotel staffs, accessible within walking distance to do souvenir shopping. Walking distance to many restaurants including 2 halal restaurants (al Medina and al Mekka restaurants). The only downside is that the hotel room is comparatively small to other hotels we went. 2. Peaceful Cottage Nagarkot: Lovely, spacious and unique rooms with breathless mountain scenery. The rooms are too beautiful to be classified as a budget hotel. The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful. Only that, I found it very cold at night, without heating system in the rooms. The staffs did provide us with few hot water bottles. There was hot water supply at all hotels we went. 3. Hotel Asia Pokhara: Rooms are clean and spacious. Again, helpful and friendly hotel staffs. Honestly, we really think that in general, all the Nepalese are nice, friendly and very humble people. The hotel is above satisfactory level despite being a budget hotel. Also, from the rooftop, we were able to enjoy the mountain view of Annapurna Himalayan range. It would have been clearer if the weather was not misty. 4. Rhino Lodge Chitwan: We absolutely loved this place!! Must go there if u were to travel to Chitwan! We did not expect to have so much fun there. That’s all we can say about Rhino Lodge. They catered to our halal meals at the hotel itself, throughout our stay. Loved their Masala tea! The activities arranged by the hotel staffs which came as a package were superb! Village sightseeing, canoeing along misty river in early morning, jungle safari walk, bathing with the elephants, elephant ride in the jungle and river crossing for nearly 1 and a half hour probably longer, traditional dance…. All left us with wonderful memories! Other extra activities arranged by Kailash: 1. Paragliding with Sunrise Company and Phoenix Company. Both companies are equally good. Most of their paragliding pilots and instructors are from European countries. Few of them are Nepalese, able to speak very good English. They explained everything professionally and we were very satisfied! Even my 2 children enjoyed this experience. 2. Mountain flights with Simrik Airlines. Thank goodness we took this flight. Initially we were all frustrated with the weather in Pokhara and Nagarkot for not being able to fully enjoy the white mountain sceneries. We read few reviews in the internet saying that some people were not able to see clearly during their mountain flights and would like their money refund. Ours were different. We saw vividly from a near distance the surfaces and the peaks of Himalayan mountains. 3. Trekking up a hill (height 1150m from sea level), above is Peace Stupa/ Buddha Stupha. Not a single regret going up this hill, meeting the villagers and children up and down the hill, seeing their different ways of lives, and the view of the lakes, mountains etc up there wowww… like the ones we saw in the magazines and posters! Would suggest Kailash to add another activity like photograph session while wearing traditional Nepalese costumes during the trip. This, we arranged ourselves. Thank you very much Kailash for making our trip to Nepal such a memorable one, adventurous and full of emotions! Recommended Kailash to everyone as the package price is reasonable and cheaper than other travel companies we enquired. Worth it! My husband, brother in law and uncle hope to return to Nepal for the Annapurna base camp trekking with Kailash.

We just finished a 5 day tour our Nepal with our daughter. Mainly visiting cultural and highlights of the country without tracking and climbing. We had a really good time and all of the arrangements were flawless. Our special thanks goes to Ram, who was an excellent driver and guide and very reliable. We will definitely recommend this company and Ram to our friends and community. Debbie – Irfan

Dear Rajan and team of Kailash Journeys, Thank you so much for arranging a wonderful tour for my parents. My parents had the best holiday experience and I must thank you and your team for the great efficiency and professionalism in arranging the tour. Though I contacted you quite last minute, you did a great job in arranging the tour as promised and provided good hotels and transportation for them. They were well taken care and visited wonderful places during their 8 day stay in Nepal. Additionally they found the Mt Everest flight to be breathtaking and an amazing sight that everyone should see. The itinerary provided for my parents was well planned and they enjoyed visiting all the places in Kathmandu, Pokkara, Chitwan & Lumbini.  Your approach in providing personal attention to them and the service standard by the tour guides and drivers are extraordinary and commendable. My parents are truly satisfied and they’re glad to recommend your agency to anyone who wishes to travel to Nepal. Special thanks to Rajan, Anit and Kekh. Keep up your good work and wish you all the best!

Only one word to describe Kailash Journeys – AWESOME! SUPERBLY AWESOME!!!! We were a group of 16 people- some did the Kailash Yatra, rest did the Nepal tour and the Indian Chardham Yatra. We were mostly from Canada, USA and some from India. Since the Foreign Passport holders could not get the Tibetan permit for Kailash Yatra (no fault of Kailash Journeys), Mr. Rajan and his team of wonderful and ever smiling team consisting of Santosh, Sudeep, Bishow, Suman, Purushottam, Manoj, Mohan and others made alternate arrangements for the group to visit tourist attractions in Nepal and India. We visited Nagarkot, Lumbini, Chitwan, Pokhara and Kathmandu. In India, we went for the Chardham Yatra, organised by the Indian office of the Kailash Journeys. This group of 16 was so excited and thankful to the Kailash Journeys for many reasons. Some points worth mentioning are: Speed, accuracy and attention to details, excellent customer service, flexibility and humane consideration to the needs of the group, choice of hotel and food arrangements, ease of communication, transfers, ever smiling staff who are eager to solve the problems if any, the Commander (Mr.Rajan) who was there to welcome and take genuine care of us. The whole team takes great pleasure in recommending Kailash Journeys for trips in Tibet, Nepal and India to anyone. We would be more than happy to share our experience via e-mail or by phone.

5 Star · April 30, 2016 · For us it was a great trip of a lifetime. It was possible only because of the team of Kailash Journeys Pvt. Ltd, who took all pains against all odds to see that all goes well with each and every traveler. A beautiful place with beautiful surroundings and feeling of freshness all around was made much more beautiful and comfortable because of the cooking team and the team guide Raj kumar throughout the journey.No words are enough to thank the whole team of Kailash Journeys Pvt. Ltd. Each one going on this trip must carry a camera, a walking stick, thermals ( 2/3 pairs minimum),a one litre flask and lots of sun screen (not less than 75 spf) and shoes with good grip.With full confidence in mind all can do this journey very comfortably with these tour operators. All the very best for all who are aspiring to go.

5 Star · “…The entire experience was beyond expectations. Right from the start of the engagement few months earlier, the Kailash team (Rajiv Shreshtha, Nirmala Sharma) were very patient and helpful to advise and plan the itinerary. The trip was well planned & managed by Rajkumar Kurung who was our assigned tour officer. He received us at the airport and was in constant touch with us during the entire trip. He addressed some unexpected issues which came up due to local political situation and responded well to our request for change of hotel … Overall, our experience in Nepal was very memorable thanks to Kailash Journeys and we will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wishes to visit Nepal.
