        • 1
          Bhaktapur and Changu Narayan are two significant destinations for sightseeing in Nepal. Bhaktapur, also known as the "City of Devotees," is famous for its traditional pottery and architectural showpieces, such as the 55-window palace, Nyatapola Temple, and Golden Gate. The ancient city also features many other attractions, such as Siddha Pokhari, the Art Gallery, and Dattatreya Square. Changu Narayan, on the other hand, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to one of the oldest Hindu temples in Nepal. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is known for its intricate carvings and stunning architecture. Visitors can also enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape from the temple. To make the most of your sightseeing experience, hiring a guide who can provide you with valuable insights into the history and culture of these two fascinating destinations is recommended.

          First class operation!
          Peregrine is a great operation. Pradip organized a perfect trip for me and was responsive and adaptable at every stage. The guides were terrific and the hotels were very good. The trip was also a great value! I couldn’t be happier with Peregrine!!!

          An amazing experience in the Himalayas
          We are both in our seventies and wanted to see these three beautiful countries. After searching many tours and tour companies we found Peregrine who from our first enquiry seemed to be able to offer us a combination of tours which suited our needs, abilities and desires. Our itinerary allowed for some private and some group activities all of which had great guides, good transportation, pick-ups and drop offs. Accommodation was of a good quality. The scenery in Nepal, Tibet & Bhutan is amazing with soaring snowcapped mountains, plateaus, valleys, rivers and waterfalls. The history and culture of these three areas is surprisingly different but all presented by the local people who are very friendly and always willing to help. Our tour operator Pradip always kept in touch and when we were delayed a day in Tibet due to a landslide, he very quickly, after consulting us was able to re-arrange the next few days to ensure that our tour continued. Our many photos will give us memories that we will enjoy for years to come

          Nepal And Bhutan Tour
          Predip from Peregrine Treks was a very helpful organiser. From the minute we booked to the end of our trip he was always there to help or try to make things better. He personally took us to a cultural event in Nepal, which was fantastic, great food and dancing. Our internal flights went smoothly and there was always someone to meet us at the airport with a sign with our names. The hotels were generally good and some were exceptional, with amazing mountain views... The drivers and guides were very good and happy to adapt or fit in extra activities. Me and my brother saw many amazing things on this trip including temples, Dzongs and forts, we finished off with the amazing Tigers Nest visit and a view of the Everest mountain range on our flight back to Kathmandu. This was a fantastic trip organised Peregrine Treks... :)

          An experience to cherish…..
          We were a group of 18 young old adults with an average age of around 55! Some for the full EBC trek and a few for a shortened version. Planning started almost a year ago with Pradip Karki, who was most patient with our queries and doubts. Our entire trip was meticulously planned and executed. Almost everything was on schedule. We had wonderful guides with us and almost everyone had personal porter. I was lucky to have been assigned Kamal Puri as my assistant. I am almost 65 and had some difficulty in keeping up with the rest of the gang. But Kamal pushed and encouraged me at every point. But for his support I would not have the trek entirely on foot! Thank you Pradip & thank you Kamal for an experience of a lifetime.

          Everest Base Camp - Once in a Lifetime!
          Did an Everest base camp luxury trek solo with a guide. Peregrine made the entire trip so easy from start to finish - it took no time to sign up and they sent me an itinerary right away. Everything was easy to figure out when I arrived in Kathmandu. My arrival day I had a great tour around town to acclimate. When weather delayed flights they were quick to switch me to a helicopter. My guide, Kamal, was excellent. Because I was solo it was really important that I felt safe, comfortable, and relaxed with my guide. He looked at for me and gave me lots of great details about the area and advice. Incredible experience! On my return to Kathmandu I was sad to learn a family member had died and they were days to quickly rearrange airport transfers at midnight so I could hop on the earliest flight home. Highly recommend Peregrine and Kamal Puri!

          We recently returned from the most amazing vacation, which was made possible by Pradip's careful preparation! It was a truly remarkable encounter. We were able to take in the breathtaking scenery of these amazing nations and were made to feel wonderfully well-cared for by everyone, particularly Pradip and our fantastic guide. We would definitely recommend this business! We were rather happy with the value that we received. Pradip, thank you very lot!

          Conquering Everest Base Camp in Luxury
          We just conquered the Everest Base Camp trek in style, and it was all thanks to Peregrine Treks & Tours and the incredible Pradip! This wasn't your average trek. Peregrine arranged a luxurious Everest Base Camp Lodge experience, and it was amazing. Witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas while being so well looked after made the journey truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to Pradip for his meticulous planning. Everything ran smoothly, and his attention to detail ensured a comfortable and enriching experience. A big shoutout to our fantastic guide and porter as well for their expertise and attentiveness throughout the trek. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Peregrine Treks & Tours to anyone considering an Everest Base Camp adventure. The value we received for this luxurious experience was simply outstanding! Thank you so much, Pradip! We'll be back for more adventures, for sure.

          Rememberable trip
          Some time ago, I went hiking with this company to Sundarijal, Chisapani, Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Nabonudh, Panauti, for 3 nights and 4 days. It was a more enjoyable trip than I thought. If you want to visit any place in Nepal, it will be fine to go through this company. I don't see any weakness. I would like to travel with them again

          An epic adventure across Nepal and Bhutan
          Pradip was an ace planner for our Nepal and Bhutan Tour Package. We smashed out the Taksang Monastery hike and hit up the three main cities in Bhutan, then checked out Kathmandu and had a beaut overnighter in Nagarkot, Nepal. Superbly organised and incredibly enriching, this trip's a real ripper for keen travellers.

          Nepal Trekking Tour & sight seeing - May 2024
          Pradip was super helpful & was able to provide flexible options to suit my requirements. I got sick during the trip which meant I had to change some plans at short notice. Pradip assisted greatly in arranging alternative options which meant I was still able to enjoy the holiday. I would highly recommend Peregrine Tours for anyone thinking of visiting Nepal. Thanks again Pradip! Jamie

          Nepal & Bhutan tour was a cultural odyssey!
          From Kathmandu's vibrant energy to awe-inspiring Nagarkot, Nepal's beauty unfolded. Exploring Paro, Thimphu & Punakha in Bhutan felt like different worlds, each steeped in tradition. Tiger's Nest Monastery left a lasting impression, while Phunakha offered serenity. The knowledgeable Peregrine guides made it seamless and enriching. This wasn't just a trip, it was a transformative cultural immersion I highly recommend!

          An Unforgettable Journey to the Everest base camp
          My recent Everest Base Camp trek with Peregrine Trek was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu Marriott , then to Lukla to the day I returned, We used helicopters to and from Kathmandu to Lukla and further due to more reliability . We stopped at Phakding , monjo , Namche , on our trek and further up at pangboche, Dingboche ( where we had great acclimatization ascent and descent) Our lead guide, Mukhiya, was an invaluable asset throughout the trek. His knowledge of the region, his passion for mountaineering, and his genuine care for our well-being made all the difference. He was assisted by Ashish and Renjit, who provided excellent support and encouragement and specially my assistant guide Dorji, and both porters Gyan and Dilkumar . Yeti Mountain Homes lodges, which offered comfortable and clean accommodations throughout the first three nights of stay in the trek. The highlight was our stay at the Everest View Hotel, the highest hotel in the world. The breathtaking views of Mount Everest from our room as well as terrace were simply unforgettable. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to acclimatize gradually to the high altitude. We trekked through diverse landscapes, from lush forests to barren mountain passes, and encountered a variety of wildlife along the way. The daily briefings provided by our guides could have been better and their knowledge of flora , fauna was patchy, and without WiFi we lacked the education I expected from them. The trek to Everest Base Camp is very very challenging, The sense of accomplishment we felt upon reaching the base camp was immense. The stunning views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Everest itself, as well as Ama Dablam, Pomori ,made the entire journey worthwhile. Mt. Everest Lhotse ,Nuptse Ama Dablam,Kangtega and Thamserku to name few The entire Peregrine Trek team especially the guides and porters went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. They carried our luggage, and assisted us with any special requests we had and I was fortune to hire two porters just for me with extra payment . Their attention to detail and personalized service made was excellent. Our return was a Heli ride with sops at Kala Pathar and Gokyo lake and then Lukla for additional cost . If you are considering an Everest Base Camp trek, I recommend Peregrine Trek with its owner Pradip Karki always available on WhatsApp or mobile . Certain additional hints : Carry disposable urinal packs for gorakshep where rooms lack bathrooms Hot water bags for last 2-3 days Chapsticks Electrolytes tablets Pillow covers Optional sleeping bag for last 2-3 days ,-20’C verified For Indian travelers , take adequate Indian dehydrated ready to eat packs where you just add boiling water Always have fulfilling breakfast in morning Water bottles with long spouts Layered clothes UV protective sunglasses Adequate back up medicines especially loperamide , Stool softeners , Cetrizine , otrivin, Vicks inhalers ( worked like charm ), Vicks cream , NSAIDS, acetaminophen , I used .25-.5 mg alprazolam which generally not recommended but few of us used it to get good nights sleep and didnot see any breathing depression. We didnot use energy bars etc which is highly cited by people , and actually offloaded few of those to lighten our backpack I carried my GoPro and put it on my Sherpa head , and taugh hi how to use it Overall a great fulfilling trip ,

          A perfect blend of culture, nature, and adventure
          An 11-day Nepal tour package with Peregrine was a wonderful way to experience the beautiful scenery of Nepal. The tour began with pleasant sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley, where we explored historic temples and vibrant markets under the guidance of a knowledgeable guide. The Poon hill hike itself was challenging but worthwhile because of the sunrise over the Annapurnas and the truly breathtaking views. Accommodation on the trip was basic but comfortable, perfectly suited to the natural surroundings. The last leg of our trip took us on a jungle safari to Chitwan National Park. This was a wonderful experience, getting up close with tigers and other wildlife and even spotting a Bengal tiger from a safe distance. The experienced guides in Chitwan were amazing in their knowledge and respect for the natural habitat. Every aspect of the trip was well organized, and the mix of cultural diving, physical challenges and wildlife viewing was well balanced This trip with Peregrine is a must for anyone that he get a full taste of the natural and cultural beauty of Nepal!

          Sajan 👌🏼👌🏼
          Brilliantly organised by Pradip, who also helped us visit Chitwan prior to the trek. Sajan was our guide for the duration of the Annapurna circuit hike. I could not recommend him more highly. He was extremely professional and allowed us to go at our own pace throughout. Most importantly, he provided excellent company. 10/10
