This was my third trip to Nepal with Luxury Holidays Nepal and their team. The driver picked me at the airport and taken straight to the hotel without any delay. The hotels provided by the company in Kathmandu and Pokhara were superb and perfect. The guide was incredible in the knowledge of the jungle creature, Trails, water- flowing and the untold story of places. We get to do everything from city touring, Boating and Rafting, Jungle safari in elephant back and so very much more!! Our best experience was the riding in the river with a flow of water which has a deeper meaning of direction and efforts found while doing rafting. As soon as, we had done the amazing jungle safari in an elephant ride where we saw the crocodile, birds, rare flora and fauna with a perfect image. That’s made really impressive and Thrill experience of nature. I highly recommend Luxury Holidays Nepal for the next trip also.

Hiking to the Poonhill

Hiking to the Poonhill

We booked a 9 day trip in the Annapurna region with the highest point being Poon Hill hiking through LHN and their Crew members. Our guide was very patient and hiked at a place that accommodated everyone and very experienced hiking at altitude. We had hiked toward the Poon Hill with the LHN team and the guide encouraged us to keep on walking when the trail got difficult and the view from the Poon Hill was amazing and unforgettable of the trip. Can’t remove from eyes!! They have done the great management of the hotels and room with cozy accommodation for the trek. We faced the many obstacles while trekking toward the Hill but it was greatly completed with the support of the team. Thank you LHN for this smooth and perfect trek for us. I would highly recommend Luxury Holidays Nepal for the next trip also.

A very memorable trip from Nayapul to Ghorepani and Poon Hill with the Luxury Holidays Nepal with the perfect accommodation, food in Luxurious Hotels and restaurant. I clearly search on the website and found this company is best for my trek. They are as thoughtful and professionals as can be and no detail is forgotten. The guide and potters were very responsive to the trek and no worry about anything. The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek explores the traditional villages and wildlife of Nepal and Early in the morning, we see Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain from Poon Hill. Our guide helped me get down some very icy and snowy in the middle of Ghorepani to Tadapani. I never imagine how perfect and good trek would be and how welcome the people would make us fell in a trail of the trek. I thoroughly recommended Luxury Holidays Nepal for well-organized and brilliant management.

I was with Luxury Holidays Nepal a year ago for their 9 days adventure sport and it was incredible rafting, yoga, and Chitwan safari in Nepal. After arriving at the airport I went to the LHN Company to meet with Shishir to customize the beginning and end of my trip. Our guide was excellent and perfect cared for by him with much information about the trek. They provided the rafting, jungle safari and peace meditation with the best accommodation, food, and dinners, everything was amazing and made for some phenomenal views during our sunrise and sunset viewing on Poon Hill in Ghorepani. We had experienced the flow of the river and spiritual meditation on the way of the trip. The trek was about multi-sport with very culturally enlightening and giving a view into the lives of the people which was only possible by their team. Thank you so much for this trip and I highly recommend Luxury Holidays Nepal.

A general rule of thumb for tipping is to USD 40 to USD 70 per Traveler, depending on the length of the trek. Porters do appreciate a personal tip, although it is not uncommon for the Guide and his Porters to pool the tips they have collected before splitting it amongst themselves, with the Guide is getting a little more for overseeing the welfare and safety of both the Travelers and Porters as a whole. That said, this is just a guide and you may tip, however much you think is appropriate for the services rendered which made your trip a memorable one.
