- AAnn· April 13th, 2023Our guide Su was exceptional The lodges were better than I’d anticipated. I loved being woken up with ‘bed tea’ to see the amazing views of the mountains Chtiwan Park. Was particularly amazing tooTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Explore!
- APhil· November 22nd, 2023The Guide Su who went far beyond good to always answer questions from his knowledge and personal experience as a local with vast travel history. The trekking assistants were excellent, always on hand if the going got tough and watching out for us to ensure we were safe. Accommodation was very good, but perhaps more local food could be offered, although this might not suit all.Show moreTrip date: October 2023Review collected by Explore!
- ACaroline· November 13th, 2023Kathmandu was fascinating but the highlight was trekking through the foothills and remote villages passing only friendly locals busy with their daily tasks, all the time with amazing scenery.Trip date: October 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AMaggie· November 10th, 2023Lodges were excellent. As always, trip leader was superb.Trip date: October 2023Review collected by Explore!

Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your trip!Trip date: October 2019Review collected by Explore! - APatrick· May 17th, 2019No need to take filtered water bottles or chlorine dioxide tablets. We wasted money buying these. We were given 2 large bottles of mineral water every day and our porters carried more.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback and review.Trip date: November 2018
- ADavid· May 17th, 2019The lodges on the trek were great, except the beds probably only for me, having a free happy hour and free washing was also a bonus. The last resort at Chigwan NP was a great stay. The Shangri-La is a bit worn and tired and the prices are expensive for beer etc. We were paying nearly double for drinks in the Shangri-La than elsewhere.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback and review.Trip date: October 2018
- APeta· May 17th, 2019The treks were rather more challenging than appeared from the trip notes - perhaps more information as to the number of steep steps involved would be helpful. Without the skillful support of Sudershan we would probably have been in quite a lot of difficulty!Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback and review.Trip date: October 2018
