Himalayas to Terai Belt of Nepal

14-Feb-2019

Travel Max Guide (TMG) is a well equipped, trained and professional team for the adventure in Nepal. I was a awesome trip to Manaslu circuit and back to Chitwan national park. On the trekking they were so sincere and concern for the security, safety and health. It was more excited and outstanding for me because it was the first time for Nepal, got the opportunity to see the Himalayas of Nepal. People of Nepal are so friendly. TMG guide is very well manage and informative to the clients. After that I went to the chitwan national park for the safari. Thank you John from your great support that you did for me. It was beyond our itinerary. We had the local Tharu food, cart riding and moterbike trip to Shaktichor where you can find the indigenous people Chepang. Got some time to spend with them.

Wonderful trip to base camp

06-Dec-2019

Though l live in the USA, I usually go back to Nepal to visit my family and friends. We never opt to spend our travel and tour expenses with any travel agencies as we don’t usually show interest. But beyond my expectations travel max guide was phenomenal. One of my friends suggested me to try them and I booked the package for 2 weeks trip to Annapurna base camp. I was with my wife, however, we adjusted with the group of other 8 foreigners. Throughout the trip, the team was very supportive, knowledgeable and took us to the destination with much care and hospitality. My wife was even happier than me with the whole team and the journey we spent together to reach a higher altitude of Annapurna. Nevertheless, I was tried every single day I loved the spectacular views and those tall Himalayas' series I observed during the trip were unprecedented. Those small huts and people’s small houses made out of stones and raw mud were luring and well fascinating Eventually, after enjoying the daring trip, we came back on the night of the final (14th) day with love and appreciation to the travel max guide. I will definitely be back with you guys once I come back again. I suggest others to go and try the Travel Max Guide team for their praiseworthy effort.
