HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME IN NEPAL

Reviewed February 5, 2018

I have given previously a review for Susan Manandhar, as she was who I first made contact with for our Trip

to Nepal, however I also want to do a review for Anil Manandhar as he also guided and drove us in and around

Nepal. Helped with our airport transfer from International to Domestic terminals.

We flew to Pokhara and went by car to Baglung for cple of days, then back to Pohkara by car, which everyone

should experience the narrow winding dirt roads with steep descents to the side of the road.

Anil picked us up in Pokhara after a cple of days there and drove us to Chitwan National Park, he left us at the hotel and went and stayed with friends for three days, he returned to take us to Kathmandu where both he and Susan showed the ins and outs of Kathmandu and surrounds and onto Nagarkot overnight to see the best

sunsets and sunrises you could wish for. Nothing was too much trouble and he was up to making suggestions

about other sights he knew of as he was so full of knowledge and history for his beloved Nepal.

We visited schools and he played his harmonica with such passion and also sang, he was very warm and friendly with us for our customised tour. Price, timings and sightseeing were all brilliant, we also meet up a couple of times to enjoy a meal with so don't be shy as they like to hear also about their guests lives and country they live in.

***One thing to NOTE***

Anil and Susan are able to book your hotels before you arrive also have local currency if you need it and if you are doing this, they are also able to stay in same hotel as you so they are there able to give you a better rate for accommodation PLEASE ASK them.

Anil is the BEST

Reviewed February 3, 2018

I spent a week with Anil at the end of 2017.

I had previously been in Vietnam for a week, Sri Lanka for two weeks, and I followed my week in Nepal with two weeks in India.  

During those five weeks, I had contact with probably 20 guides, tour leaders, drivers and other support professionals.

Anil was simply the best of them all.

He was marvelously entertaining on the ride from Kathmandu to Nagarkot;

he know the best places for photography;

and he was infinitely patient with my requests.

At one point, when we were visiting a shop that made custom musical instruments,

Anil pulled out a harmonica and jammed with the owner and his 5 year old son.

What a blast!

I had a chance to meet his wife Susan, who is also a top-rated guide.

I hope to return to Nepal this year for another round with Anil.

 Anil , and his wife Susan, made Nepal come alive for me .   He has a passion for his country and is extremely knowledgable about Nepal's history and culture.  I had only a vague idea of what I wanted to see in the Kathmandu Valley and Anil was able to customize a tour with my interests in mind.  After visiting the major sites with Anil one day he suggested his wife, Susan, take me on a tour of the rural areas around Kathmandu.  On another day he also arranged a driver for me when I wanted to go on a day hike near  Nagarkot.   Anil is an excellent guide and will enhance your visit to the beautiful country of Nepal.
