This is my third trip to Nepal with LHN. As always, the trip was superbly organized. Resham responded to all my queries and made sure of everything I wanted on the trip. He took care of me in every possible way from the starting to the end. When we arrived at Kathmandu Airport, Guide Krishna took us to the hotel. The hotel in Kathmandu was very nice. LHN provided us with experience guides and makes our trip more amazing with knowledgeable details. The next day we visited different historical places in Kathmandu. After a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu, we started our 12 days Luxury Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with Jungle Safari. The route was wonderful. The trek itself was beautiful. The view from Poon Hill was amazing and unforgettable for the trip. Can’t remove it from my eyes!! They have done great management of the hotels and rooms with cozy accommodation for the trek. After finishing trekking with wonderful memories we headed to Chitwan and visit the Tharu village, canoeing, elephant bathing, and Jungle safari was amazing. Overall, the trek was beautiful and had many great and splendid moments. We are grateful to Luxury Holidays Nepal and their efforts.
