Family trip with ALN Tours and Travels

We had an amazing experience on the Nepal Golden Triangle Tour (8 days). The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and customized the itinerary to match our interests, taking us through Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan National Park. Our driver, Bijaya, was fantastic—he navigated the chaotic roads with great skill and always looked out for our safety. Everyone we met was warm and welcoming, making our journey even more special. The only reason I’m giving this tour 4 out of 5 stars is that the accommodations in Nepal could have been a bit more comfortable. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and I’m grateful for the experience!
