Experience of a lifetime.

05-Aug-2023

Bishnu and Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure Pvt Limited were extremely accommodating on our trip. We booked paragliding in Pokhara through their agency. The Greenline bus (tourist bus between Kathmandu and Pokhara) was not operating on the day we had planned to go to Pokhara. Bishnu arrived at the scene within 10 minutes to help us arrange private travel. was fantastic! Experience of a lifetime.

BEST TRIP EVER!

16-Aug-2022

My husband travel all over the world and we both agree that this trip was the best one we have been on. We chose the Poon Hill trek with the add on to Chitwan National Park. This was our first trek so we decided to choose the easiest one. Bishnu and his business partner have the customers best interest! Nearly everything we needed was taken care of. Throughout the trip, Bishnu kept in touch with me to make sure everything was up to our standards (it most definitely was). On our last night in Kathmandu, they took us out to a traditional Nepali dinner with native dancing! It was a lovely send off. Our guide and Porter were amazing. Our guide, Pancha, made sure everything on our trek was taken care of including reserving the best tea house rooms ahead of time. He was very informative and spoke very good English. Our porter, Bhupendra, made sure we had everything we needed also. They were both amazing. When we come back to trek with Himalayan Sanctuary, we hope to have the same guide and porter. The experience in Chitwan was incredible. From the wonderful hotel and staff, to the jungle walks where we saw one horned Asian rhino, to the elephant bathing (we chose not to ride the elephants due to the trekking chairs and ethics), it was all a wonderful experience we will never forget. If you’re on the fence about booking, just do it. This company and its staff are the best. We will definitely be back!

Bishnu and team are always so helpful in assisting and helping us

20-Aug-2023

Visiting Nepal for the first time and not knowing what to expect. One of our best choice made for choosing to follow what was planned for us by Himalayan Sanctuary. Bishnu and team are always so helpful in assisting and helping us with what we need, and accommodating to our last minute requests throughout the trip. Throughout our short 2D1N trek, they have been very assuring and helping us with our bags even when they have a full load themselves. Not only that, Bishnu has been helping to snap photos of us throughout our journey, leaving us more photos to bring home with! The team has made our first trip to Nepal a very memorable one and we’ll definitely look for them again when we are ready to visit this beautiful country again. 😊
