Best tour in Nepal with our family

We emailed Puru from Above The Himalaya Trekking. We arranged a customized ten-day family tour of different places in Nepal for our family. Puru was quick and responsive in planning this tour. He considered all our requests.

He picked the perfect hotel and the perfect activities and destinations. Our guide, Kumod, and driver were experienced and provided excellent service. Nepal is a beautiful country. Everyone at Above The Himalaya Trekking was kind and helpful. Thank you so much for such a memorable family trip!

Family Annapurna trek

I was traveling with a family of 5 people: an 8- and 11-year-old child, my wife, and my mom, who is 58 years old. We did the small trek in Annapurna up to Ghandruk Village Loop. It was a wonderful experience, especially with the help of our guide and porters. Due to the rain and not very good weather, the trail was quite slippery.

Puru, the owner, provided us with the best guide and porters. They were very familiar with children and took care of every small thing. We traveled by bus between Kathmandu and Pokhara. Taking a flight or private vehicle when traveling with children is better.

Thank you, Above the Himalaya and team, for making our trip memorable.

Excellent family trip

I traveled during the Christmas break with two kids, aged 12 and 14, and my wife. Fantastic experience, Annapurna Trek, Pokhara, Kathmandu excursions, Chitwan, Everest flights – the works! Puru organized daily trips, internal flights, guides, and accommodation.

Because of his extensive experience and local knowledge (he used to be a Guide), the places we visited were incredible and well-researched. Purna was our leading guide for the Annapurna trek. He was brilliant with the kids, and you felt very safe. He made the trip fun and was a straightforward company.

There are lots of trekking tours in Kathmandu. It can be overwhelming to make a choice. I recommend Above the Himalayas. They are very experienced and very trustworthy. They tuned into the local scene. They remain committed to the long-term sustainable development of the Nepal tourist industry.

Family Holiday

Just came back after a week’s holiday in Nepal with my parents. We were worried about the weather and road conditions as this is the rainy season there. From the beginning, Puru, the company owner, gave us all the information about the tour and the excellent place to go.

We didn’t have any problem at all from arrival to departure. Most of the trip was rainy, but the best guide we had, the driver, and the hotel we chose made us feel happy. Due to rain, we only saw a little; we have covered Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Nagarkot and will return in March 2018.

Thank you, Above the Himalaya and team, for making our holiday stress-free and enjoyable.

Best family tour in Nepal

We traveled in the low season for our Nepal family tour. Which I love because I prefer fewer crowds. The weather was quite good at times. All the hotels had a/c and wifi. The food was terrific in Nepal. My favorite food was momo! It would help if you tried it.

I saw the Annapurna range in beautiful Pokhara. A climb of the peace pagoda is a must. Perfect views. Puru is a lovely host. Very honest and generous. He took us to a beautiful traditional restaurant so we could taste local food. It was the cherry on the cake of our experience!

A trip I will never forget!
