What people are saying about Bagmati Zone

The tour was well organized by Nepal Treks. Communication channels by email and whatsapp with Nepal Treks were prompt. You won’t feel lost as you will be guided on the itinerary. Transfers from one mode of transport to another were efficient. This tour is an adventure so although the coach ride to Chitwan National Park was arduous attributable to the roadworks and natural terrain of the route, the trip was nonetheless worth it. The crocodile sightings, safari jeep tour and hikes were all enjoyable activities. The accommodation was comfortable and meals were adequate. Highly recommend to book this tour with Nepal Treks!

The tour was very organized. I didn’t have trouble from my hotel pick up from Kathmandu and upon arrival in Chitwan. The hotel, Hotel Safari where I stayed is a very comfortable place with garden and awesome foods and staff. It was delightful waking up to the sounds of birds and elephants. The activities we did in Chitwan were all awesome. I highly recommend this tour. I also appreciate that the tour organizers kept checking on me to see how I was doing.

It was an incredible journey. Everything was well organized and we were with many local tourists. The only thing that would be nice would be more Nepalese food. I don't recommend the elephant ride, the treatment of the elephants is terrible, so I chose the jeep safari in the afternoon.

Very nice experience. The transfer from Kathmandu is a bit long and tiring but it is compensated after by encounters with animals.

Pick up/drop off was easy & accommodation was great. Activities/itinerary were all very organized and timely! Fantastic trip!
