“Kathmandu, Nepal”
Reviewed July 22, 2009

Travelled solo to Nepal & Bhutan. Hesitant at first, but glad I did.

It was my first time in Nepal and I treated myself to a lovely hotel Dwarika's and can highly recommend it and have.

I'm not a trekker, so this wasn't the purpose of my trip. Enjoyed visiting all the world heritage sites and waslucky enough to have a guide who was reliable and very knowledeable. Very flexible too as I don't like travelling in groups for this specific purpose. He caught on quickly on what were my interests and made recommendations/suggestions accordingly.

If you only have a few days, hire a guide and driver. Buddhi Prasad Bhatta was my guide and his card states that he's a member of a tour guides association.

Enjoy your travels!

“Unforgettable Nepal”
Reviewed July 21, 2009

Nepal is a special country where sky, mountains and beauty merge together.
It has been an unforgettable experience, also thanks to my special guide Buddhi Prasad Bhatta, a young talent that has made my trip special.
I have seen places that tourists ever see, I have spent time with local people and I have visited a lot in one week staying in the best hotels. Buddhi recommended me the Dwarika's Hotel in Kathmandu: something unforgettable.
The "mountain flight" he organized for me is something that will always remain in my loving memories.
This is what makes a beautiful country special and Buddhi is a fantastic resource of this marvellous country.

“Go to Pokhara! NOW!”
Reviewed April 21, 2009

Walk on the streets and you inhale carcinogenic fumes from cars running on a mix of petroleum gas mixed with kerosene and other substances.

You could by a mask so you don't swallow or breathe the dust that is everywhere from the unpaved or semi-paved roads. But the mask only protects you from the dust. You are still inhaling cancer-causing fumes!

Every where you go, there will be people always trying to sell you something.

And it is more expensive than Bangkok, where the roads are good and you are able to go somewhere to escape the pollution and dust!

If you go to Nepal, go to Pokhara or Lumbini or the Anapurna Circuit. You will breathe better when you get back home.

“Great!!!”
Reviewed March 15, 2009

Great place to spend a few days. The centre is very touristy, but loads of shops & restuarants. Cheap transport, take a taxi for a day for $ 20.00 with driver. The valley, incl. temples are a must see
