Nepal best travel agency

We had a 5 night 6 days Nepal tour package. It was a family tour for a group of 4 people. We saw the review and then came in contact with Mr. Nakul. The tour was very well planned from start to finish. The accommodation was top-notch. The taxi service provided was excellent and they were very friendly and helped us make fond memories of the trip . The owner Mr. Nakul helped us from the very beginning of the tour till the last day. He even helped us book the return ticket. He was very inquisitive and keep asking us for the well-being and the trip experience.
I would definitely recommend Blue Himalaya Tours and travels to my friends and family.
Until next time
