Enjoyable Nepal Tour

20-Nov-2024

A Relaxed and Enjoyable Nepal Adventure This tour with UncleSam Holidays was a great way to explore Nepal at a relaxed pace. From the very first moment we arrived in Kathmandu, we were met by a courteous representative who took care of everything, which made the whole experience stress-free. The hotels were cozy and had all the necessary amenities. The guided tours were fantastic, with a special mention to the visit to the Pashupatinath Temple and the Aarti ceremony, which were mesmerizing. Nuwakot and Bandipur offered a glimpse into traditional village life, and the views from Bandipur were incredible. The sunrise trek to Thani Mai shrine was challenging but incredibly rewarding. In Pokhara, we had a great time boating on Phewa Lake and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Chitwan was a perfect ending to the trip with its wildlife safari and the chance to spot rhinos and elephants. All in all, UncleSam Holidays did an excellent job in providing a seamless experience with knowledgeable guides and great accommodations. ...more ...less

Excellent Travel Services

18-Oct-2024

Excellent Travel Services I’ve just come back from an unforgettable trip to Nepal with UncleSam Holidays, and I must say I was very impressed with the service. From the airport pickup to the hotel check-ins, everything was well-organized. The guided tours in Kathmandu were educational and gave us a deep dive into Nepal’s spiritual history. The visits to Swayambhunath and Patan Durbar Square were a great introduction to the country’s heritage. Nuwakot and Bandipur were beautiful hidden gems – the walk through the villages was peaceful, and the views of the Himalayas were incredible. The trek to Thani Mai shrine in Bandipur was a highlight, especially with the sunrise views. Pokhara was a welcome break with its tranquil lakes and mountain views. Chitwan’s wildlife safari was a real treat – I was lucky enough to spot a rhino and several other animals. The hotels were great, and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. I felt safe and well-taken care of throughout the trip. ...more ...less

Truly Captivating Tour

18-Jan-2024

A Glimpse into Nepal’s Heart and Soul I can honestly say this was one of the most memorable trips I’ve had. UncleSam Holidays made sure everything was taken care of, from airport pickup to hotel check-ins. The guided tours in Kathmandu were fascinating – I particularly enjoyed visiting the Pashupatinath Temple and Patan Durbar Square. Nuwakot and Bandipur were both incredible in their own right, offering a chance to experience the rural side of Nepal, and the views were absolutely stunning. The trek to the Thani Mai shrine in Bandipur was a special moment for me – it was challenging but offered an unforgettable sunrise view of the Himalayas. Pokhara was beautiful, and I particularly loved visiting the World Peace Pagoda. Chitwan was a perfect end to the trip, with exciting jungle safaris and wildlife spotting. The whole experience was smooth, and the service from UncleSam Holidays was outstanding. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Nepal in all its glory. ...more ...less

Wonderful Guided Tour

12-Mar-2024

A True Taste of Nepal I had an amazing time on this Nepal tour! The services provided by UncleSam Holidays were exceptional from start to finish. When we arrived in Kathmandu, the airport pickup was seamless, and the hotel was lovely and well-located. The guided city tours in Kathmandu, including visits to Pashupatinath and Swyambhunath, were insightful and gave us a deeper understanding of Nepal’s rich culture and history. The guide was fantastic, and it felt like we were walking through history. Nuwakot and Bandipur offered a peaceful escape from the city, with lovely local villages and mountain views. The hike up to the Thani Mai shrine in Bandipur for sunrise was an incredible experience – it was a tough climb, but the reward was well worth it. Pokhara was serene and beautiful, with its lakes and incredible mountain views. Chitwan was another highlight, especially the wildlife safari, where we got up close to rhinos, crocodiles, and elephants.

Great Experience with Seamless Services

15-Feb-2024

I just returned from an 11-day trip to Nepal with UncleSam Holidays and I’m still reflecting on how smoothly everything went. From the moment we arrived at Kathmandu airport, we were welcomed by a friendly representative who made sure we were taken care of. The hotels throughout the trip were comfortable, and the staff was always helpful. The guided tours in Kathmandu were informative – we learned so much about the history of the temples, especially during our visit to the Pashupatinath Temple. Traveling to Nuwakot and Bandipur was a nice escape from the city, offering a peaceful experience in the countryside. The scenic walks and cultural experiences were just what I needed. Pokhara was relaxing, and the sunrise trek to Sarangkot was an unforgettable highlight. Chitwan’s jungle safari was a great way to wrap up the trip, with the opportunity to see rhinos and other wildlife. Overall, the services provided by UncleSam Holidays were excellent, and I’d definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore Nepal. ...more ...less

A Memorable Tour with Excellent Support I booked this tour through UncleSam Holidays, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The services provided were exceptional. When we landed in Kathmandu, the representative made sure everything was sorted, including our hotel check-in. Kathmandu itself was full of history – Pashupatinath Temple and the nearby streets were fascinating to explore. The guide was excellent, explaining all the historical and cultural significance. Nuwakot and Bandipur were the peaceful retreats I was hoping for, with the perfect mix of nature and culture. The trek up to Thani Mai shrine in Bandipur for sunrise was hard work but the views were unforgettable. In Pokhara, we had a great time visiting lakes and temples, with a boat ride on Phewa Lake being one of the highlights. Chitwan’s wildlife safari was such an exciting experience.
