Hi all, my name is Upasana. So few weeks earlier, i visited Pokhara, Nepal with my friends. Initially we did not have enough information and suggestions to fill up our trip with best possible experience. Then we stumble upon GAP Nepal community on based on their great reviews, we approached them for all possible guidance. All i would say, GAP Nepal is all you need to have a trip of a lifetime. From start to finish this was a once in a lifetime incredible trip! they guided us for all amazing trekking routes and how we can discover Pokhara with most authentic way under feasible budget. From lodging to all the adventurous activities, they made the trip full of kudos and sparkling beauty of the place. GAP Nepal is very understanding and helpful. We were able to relax and enjoy the experience without the stress of trying to navigate the streets. they guide you the way you want/need and as per your comfort level, whether you are with your family or friends or as an individual. Group even helps you with language barriers so that you can communicate with locals and try local yet popular food stops and local places. they taught us traditional things, gave interesting information regarding local culture, they even offered any physical help if we need. They even fulfilled our bike riding wish on those mountain roads which was one of the most thrilling experience we had including camping in the lap of mountains. in case of any medical emergency, they are also prepped with required medical help. they also made us enjoy local folk dance experience. They exceeded our expectations in all sense. i highly recommend GAP Nepal to visit Nepal and it's mountains. Thank you for making our visit absolutely incredible. a huge shout out and Cheers to them and keep up the good work !! :)Juris_Brussels

During 18-30 April 2017, I organised my very first group tour to Nepal with GAP Nepal. It was fantastic experience both for me as an organiser, and a great experience for my group! We had excellent programme exploring the natural, cultural and spiritual beauty of Nepal, visited main Hindu and Buddhist temples in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur immersing into ancient spiritual and cultural traditions and gaining lots of knowledge and insights about the practices. We had beautiful opportunities to indulge on amazing nature of Nepal in Chitwan National Park and get very close encounter with various animals. Additionally we had two amazing day trekking and exploring the wonders of Nepali nature but also encountering wonderful local people during our hikes. We had our relaxing break in beautiful Pokhara enjoying stunning nature, early morning sunrise and viewing Himalayan tops, shopping and generally taking in that wonderful atmosphere of Pohkara. Before this tour I organised fundraising to help the children in a Tibetan refugee village near Pokhara and my friends at GAP Nepal were extremely helpful during the shopping in Kathmandu and also delivering the items for the children to Pokhara, without their support and help I would find it very difficult to organise that logistically. But generally I have to express my gratitude to GAP Nepal and its wonderful staff for making this tour smooth, trouble-free and easy! What a joy to work with a super friendly and professional team of people which are able to resolve immediately any issue without any stress and with great ease. I cherish and greatly value their friendliness, warm welcome and excellent organisational skills and look forward to work in the future with more tours!
