Reviews
I recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to the majestic Himalayas with Himalayan Abode Travel and Tours, Treks, and Expedition Pvt. Ltd., and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. From the moment I contacted them to the final farewell, it was nothing short of exceptional.
Mr. Nabin, the owner of the company, deserves a special mention. He was not only a pleasant and accommodating person but also someone who delivered on every commitment he made. His professionalism and dedication to ensuring a memorable trip were truly commendable.
During our adventure, we were fortunate to have Mr. Bikram Thapa as our guide. Mr. Thapa was not just a guide; he was a walking encyclopedia of Himalayan knowledge. His passion for the region, combined with his in-depth understanding of the terrain and culture, enriched our journey in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Moreover, his politeness and incredible patience made every moment enjoyable and stress-free.
I can’t express enough appreciation for the Himalayan Abode team’s unwavering commitments and their warm hospitality. The entire trip felt like an adventure among friends, thanks to their personal touch and attention to detail.
If you’re planning a Himalayan adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend Himalayan Abode Travel and Tours. Your journey will be more than just a trip; it will be a life-changing experience, and you’ll be in the capable hands of Mr. Nabin and the extraordinary Mr. Bikram Thapa.
