    Few days prior xmas my husband, Fauzi and i decided to spend a 7 days stay in Nepal and at that time there was only few hotels available due to peak season. Rescheduling the iteneraries in a constraint of time to ensure our comfort looks so simple to Angie Ong and her team as they are so expert and well experience. Their kind understanding really touch our heart till today.

    Thank you Eyes On Nepal who had proved me wrong!! ..true indeed Nepal is a scenic country full of amazing range and mountains with warm hearted people and superb nepalese food. They treat us like their own families and despite being in a place where we can’t even speak and understand a word of their language except namaste and no one looks like us, we really felt at ease and safe.

    Thank you Angie Ong, Krishna, Siddharta and young Vishnu (Pokhara) the great team from Eyes On Nepal who really took care of Fauzi and I from our pick up point at the airport till our departure on the eve of new year.. Being a muslim, we do not feel any restrictions to be in your country as you have made it simple and accomodative to all our needs… we really had a great time in Nepal..beautiful sceneries along the journey from kathmandu to Nagarkot to Kalinchowk to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu; marvellous snowcapped mountains and long beautiful ranges in Kuri village, adventurous paragliding activity in Pokhara; witnessing the beauty of Everest Mountain during the mountain flight; short trekking to view the sunrise at Sarangkot and sharing love with the little angels at the himalayan spirit academy in Kalinchowk and short visit at Kuri Village are the best memories ever..

    Coming home from Kathmandu, we are not only bringing home our passport, luggage and few souveniers for our love ones but thousands of sweet memories and wonderful experiences, too.

    I do really hope we will make a come back to Nepal with more time to explore and also time to get to the hills plus other adventurous activities like water rafting, zip flying and so forth..its a worthwhile trip!!! Definitely we will recommend your company to our friends and loved ones…kudos to the team
