Had an amazing and memorable family trip to Nepal with Tripathi Travels! ​We recently booked a family tour to Nepal through Tripathi Travels, covering Kathmand (Read More)u and Pokhara, and it was a wonderful experience. From the very start, the team did a great job customizing the itinerary to fit our pace, making sure the schedule wasn't too rushed since we were traveling as a family. ​The choice of hotels was comfortable, and the transportation provided was clean and well-maintained, which made navigating the mountain roads smooth and stress-free. A huge shoutout to our driver/guide, who was incredibly professional, punctual, and safe on the roads. He knew the best local spots for sightseeing and always made sure we found great places to eat. ​There was clear communication throughout the trip, and they checked in on us regularly to ensure everything was going according to plan. I would highly recommend Tripathi Travels to anyone planning a hassle-free and safe trip to ??
