Last week, I used Luxury Holiday Nepal for a private trek into the mustang region. They wait at the airport before I arrived and took me into a luxury vehicle to the hotel room and have a great arrangement with delicious food and meals. The guide provided by the LHN company was fantastic, helpfull in a good manner and respectful. The next day our trips were in the Mustang region which was peaceful and wonderful in nature. The guide went above and beyond during the 10 days trek and breathtaking experience from the top of the mountain and view was mesmerizing in front of my eyes and it was the life-changing experience when trekking with their team. we'll definitely love to see you again in near future for another trip also. Thank you

Greatly thankful to Luxury Holidays Nepal for amazing trips! I was planning the mustang visit for a long. That is why I was in Nepal this November. I booked the Luxury Holidays Nepal team provided us a professional guide and porter. They provided us the best quality service. Mustang is in the western part of Nepal which is unbelieving for sightseeing, climbing the mountain and exploring the forest of national flower (Rhododendron) in-front of my eyes. View of the Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri was mystical. I had no idea to express the moment of that trip as believing mustang as the heaven on the earth we heartily thankful to Luxury holidays and their team for making our trip unforgettable and unbelievable. I recommend everyone to contact LHN for their upcoming trip.

This year we decided to visit upper Mustang with Luxury Holidays Nepal. It was our third visit to Nepal and third time we used their services. We visited with them Bhutan, Mustang and a lot of other places in Nepal. They supported us with all the formalities, they took into consideration fact that we travel with small kid, helping us to plan the trip accordingly then they were always in the reach of phone call. 
Visit to Mustang is experience one cannot forget and with Luxury Holidays Nepal it was just smooth.
l do recommend their services as a tour operator and best partner to visit Nepal Pond Other countries they have in their portfolio.
In next years I hope to do at least Annapurna and Tibet with them.

“Upper Mustang Trek, Nepal”

“Upper Mustang Trek, Nepal”

The above trek was organized by Luxury Holidays Nepal. This outfit cannot be faulted, and I have the highest praise for them. From top down, the service level, friendliness was excellent. Shishir, who runs this company personally, takes care of all visitors ensuring our complete satisfaction. The guides Shiva, in our case, was the second time he guided our tour, he was brilliant, having more information than we could possibly digest, on all aspects of Nepal. The porters too, were most obliging at all times. This was the second time we used Luxury Holidays Nepal, and we will continue to ask them to guide the various expeditions we will be doing to Nepal in the future.

Note:
1. Flight Delay in JOMSOM
Twin Otter is the primary mode of transport from the airstrip at Jomsom. This service is fairly dependable. Sometimes, flights may be cancelled due to mountain weather conditions or other technical problems. In such case, Luxury Holidays Nepal will organize the alternative available road transportation to ensure you are on schedule for your international flight.
The expense of the road transport will be managed from the reimbursement received from the flight ticket after the deduction of cancelation charge. So please note that there will be no refund of the flight from Jomsom to Pokhara, if the alternative road transportation is consolidated.
2. During the trip; weather, local politics, transport or other factors, that are beyond our control can result in a change of itinerary. It is however very unlikely that the itinerary would be substantially altered. If alterations are necessary the leader will decide what is the best alternative taking into consideration the best interests of the whole group. Where a change does occur, we do everything we can to minimize its effect.
