    We have the best time at this tour. Great Activities, experience and guides. We see so many things of nepal in this two weeks. Shovan and Kumar are the best guides they did a very good job, and we had a lot of fun. The hiking days are also amazing. I can only recommend everyone to do the tour.

    This was a glorious tour! Ithink Shovan is amazing. He is smart, knowledgeable and passionate about his country. Kumar is very organized and experienced. The guides make an excellent team. I felt so good and taken care off! I think they both go far and beyond from what is expected of them. I am so grateful! Namaste!

    I absolutely loved my trip with dragon trip. Everything is very well organized and as a traveler you don’t have to care about anything. Shovan and Kumar are the most amazing guides with lots of knowledge about the history of Nepal and they can literally answer every question. :) they always gave us the best recommendations for restaurants, shops or massage studios. And they are super funny! I can definitely recommend to book a trip with dragon trip but be prepared for lots of driving as the round conditions in Nepal are really terrible. But you will have the best time ;)

    This tour was amazing! During the first week you get to know the local culture and religion, Shovan was really knowledgeable and it really helped to get to understand this beautiful country better. And we spent the second week with Kumar getting out into nature, with the national park and a really nice trek along the Annapurna trail. Everyone was really supportive and they always tried to accommodate our needs. It’s a full on tour with so much to see and do, and totally worth it!

    I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on The Dragon Trip tour to Nepal, and I can confidently say it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived, the tour exceeded all my expectations. The Dragon Trip team was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly friendly and approachable. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, allowing us to explore the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and hidden gems of Nepal. Whether it was hiking to the top of Poon Hill for sunrise over the Himalayas, visiting ancient temples and monasteries, going on a safari and seeing wild rhinoceroses or immersing ourselves in the vibrant local markets, every day brought new and unforgettable adventures. One of the highlights of the tour was the world class 3-day hike we went on. The Dragon Trip ensured that we had authentic cultural experiences, from participating in traditional ceremonies like meditating in a cave, to a local cooking class of Momo making. These encounters gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation for the country and its people. The accommodations throughout the tour were comfortable and well-chosen, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. The Dragon Trip also took care of all the logistics, making the journey smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and commitment to safety allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without any worries. I cannot recommend The Dragon Trip tour to Nepal enough. It is an adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or new to exploring, this tour is perfect for anyone seeking a blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
