I have been visiting Nepal frequently since 2014, and every time I travel, I trust **Best Heritage Tour** to arrange my trips. As an older traveler, it’s crucial for me to have everything planned and organized, and Mr. Bimal and his team always take care of all the details, from hotel bookings to car rentals and guides. They have arranged tours for me in Kathmandu, Chitwan, Bardiya, and Pokhara, and I couldn't be happier with their service. The prices are very reasonable, and I always feel like I’m getting excellent value for my money. Mr. Bimal is an incredibly trustworthy person, always going above and beyond to ensure I have a comfortable and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend **Best Heritage Tour** and Mr. Bimal to anyone traveling from Norway or anywhere else, especially for those who need a reliable and professional travel partner in Nepal. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is unmatched. Thank you, Best Heritage Tour, for making my trips to Nepal unforgettable!

El Condutor es amable los templos bonito Our Nepal trip was amazing, Bimal planned everything very well to the last detail, and customized the itinerary exactly to our preferences. He very knowledgeable and we learned so much from her. Walking with her while she expertly navigates the narrow streets of Kathmandu was so much fun, and we saw parts of the city few travellers get to see. Our trek with añil carefully thought out, we felt in very good hands as he did this route many times. Bimal organized two Newari cooking classes for us which was both very exciting and tasty, and we got to learn from Nepali expert homemakers. He took us on a journey through Buddhist and Hindu temples and rituals, and gave us a very in-depth explanation of eastern philosophy.

If Nepal is on your list of travels a helicopter flight to view Mt. Everest would be a life time adventure. I would highly recommend the tour. Mr. Bimal, manager of best heritage tour arranged my trip which came off flawlessly. If you want a place to stay in Kathmandu the Kathmandu Eco Hotel in Thames is great and well located. Nepal is a adventurer’s dream!

The trip with our guide Bimal to the Swayambu Stupa was a very beautiful and impressive experience. At dusk we climbed up to the stupa and experienced the special atmosphere of this place even in the dark. The many candles and the overwhelming view of illuminated Kathmandu made this excursion an unforgettable experience. Thanks Bimal
