Our recent trip to Nepal and trek to Mardi Himal with Himalayan 360 turned out to be one of the most memorable adventures of my life. From the very beginning, the team was organized, responsive, and genuinely caring. They took care of every detail, like permits, accommodation, and transfers, so we could simply focus on enjoying the mountains.
Throughout the trek, Amit stayed in touch to make sure everything was going well, and our guide, Max, was simply amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, especially during the steep sections of the trail. We always felt safe and encouraged, and he made the whole experience both fun and meaningful by sharing stories about the local culture and the Himalayas.
The views along the Mardi Himal route were breathtaking, from the lush forests to the snow-capped peaks that seemed almost within reach. The tea houses were cozy and clean, and every stop offered delicious home-cooked meals that made the evenings feel warm and comforting.
It was one of the most rewarding journeys, and I couldn’t have asked for a better company to guide me through it. I highly recommend Himalayan 360 to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. They made the Himalayan adventure safe, smooth, and unforgettable!

Excellent trek thanks to himalaya360
We were Mark several times so glad we were that we hired Himalaya360.com to arrange our trip rather than trying to do it all ourselves. It was well worth it.
We had an excellent five day track on Mardi in Himal on the trail. It is frequently primarily by Nepali tourists. The views are incredible all along the trail, and many guest houses have spectacular views. Our guide was a joy to be with.
Raj also offered us an alternative, a virgin trail, that is to say one that is not official yet. It would have involved sleeping in tents instead of guest houses. For sure, we will try that option next time.

Amazing first time Himalaya experience
Last April was the first time we travelled to Nepal and had no idea what to expect. We stayed in Timber house (a great hotel) and got in touch with Himalayan 360 through Raj. We were considering trekking to the Annapurna Basecamp, but changed to the Mardi Himal based on his advice. This was probably the best advice we got in Nepal, because we loved every bit of the trek. It was still April, so the mountains were fully covered in snow, while the lower fields were green and the Rhododendron trees were flourishing.
Himalayan 360 provided us with excellent service arranging everything for us from the beginning to the end. We chose to travel by bus which took us 9 hours on a bumpy road to Pokhara. We would recommend you to get a flight, which they will arrange for you. We were provided with some trekking material and tips on where to buy our trekking clothes. Throughout the entire experience, Raj checked in on us if everything was okay and invested in our experience. We chose to take it slow and extend our trek with one day to enjoy more of the beautiful scenery. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and the food was good. Best of all, were our guide and helper. They truly made sure we had a great time, learned about Nepal and it’s mountains and most important of all made sure we were safe. Not only were Prakesh and Santosh amazing company, they were patient and motivating us to make it all the way up.
We would recommend Himalayan 360 to everyone who is interested in a high quality and worry-free experience in the Himalayan mountains.

Exactly the kind of trip I wanted
This was exactly the kind of trip I was hoping for. Quiet mornings, lots of time outdoors, and no pressure to constantly move or rush. Bardiya felt raw and natural, and the safaris gave enough time to watch wildlife properly. I enjoyed the birdwatching days the most, especially around wetlands where you could just stand and observe. Lumbini was calm and added a nice break between safari days. Chitwan was more active, but still enjoyable and well-organized. I also liked learning about conservation during the visit to the vulture restaurant. The journey back to Kathmandu through the villages was a nice ending. Everything felt balanced and thoughtfully planned. If you enjoy wildlife, photography, and peaceful travel, this tour makes a lot of sense. I honestly had a great time in Nepal.

An honest and well-paced wildlife tour with Guide Rama
The 14-Day Wildlife and Birdwatching Photography Tour was an amazing experience overall. Bardiya and Koshi Tappu were definitely the highlights for me. The jeep safaris in Bardiya felt quiet and authentic, and even though wildlife sightings like tigers depend on luck, the guides were extremely knowledgeable and patient, pointing out signs and explaining animal behavior. Birdwatching days were relaxed, which made photography much easier and enjoyable.
Some of the driving days were long, especially between Chitwan and Koshi Tappu, but the route made sense since we covered so many important wildlife and birding areas. Hotels were simple but clean, and food was consistently good. If you enjoy nature, photography, and don’t mind early mornings and long drives, this tour is definitely worth it.

Bardiya’s safari felt like being in a nature show. I kept tripping over my camera strap and bumping into bushes, which made me laugh more than once. Koshi Tappu’s wetlands were gorgeous, and I’m still not sure if that bird I photographed was a Sarus Crane or a Purple Swamp Hen, but it looked amazing in my photos. Every morning was quiet and peaceful, perfect for taking pictures.
Even though the drives were long, I enjoyed watching the scenery change from forests to open wetlands. Seeing animals along the way like monkeys and deer made the journey fun. Even simple roadside stops felt like little adventures. It was a relaxed and joyful way to experience nature from start to finish.

There’s something special about stepping into Koshi Tappu at sunrise. The wetlands were calm, the air fresh, and the animals slowly waking up made the mornings perfect for photography.
A colorful kingfisher perched nearby, and I spent a long time trying to photograph it without disturbing it. Watching ducks swim gracefully across the wetlands and noticing how birds and fish moved made every moment peaceful and beautiful. The reflection of the sky on the water and the soft morning light added a magical touch to the scenery. I enjoyed small details, like the leaves moving gently in the trees and the water rippling around the birds. Each day brought new sights and experiences, and the quiet mornings, amazing landscapes, and wildlife made the trip unforgettable.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this trip turned out to be amazing. Kathmandu was bustling, but getting out on the road to Lumbini instantly felt peaceful. The wetlands there were full of birds, and I spent hours just staring through my lens, trying to capture even a fraction of their colors. Chitwan National Park was the highlight. Seeing wild deer, tiger tracks, and colorful birds was surreal, especially on the jeep safaris. The walking tour gave a different perspective and allowed me to notice tiny details in the jungle I would have missed otherwise. The guide was patient, funny, and knew exactly where to take us for the best wildlife shots. By the end, I felt exhausted in the best way, full of stories, and very happy I went.

This trip was kind of life-changing, no joke. Kathmandu’s Buddhist sites were peaceful, and just being there made you slow down without trying. Bouddhanath and Swayambhunath were the perfect mix of energy and serenity. Kopan Monastery gave me my first taste of meditation, and it actually wasn’t hard or weird. Pharping felt hidden away from the world, which was a nice break. Pokhara added nature, lake views, and a sunrise that I still think about. Lumbini was emotional, and standing at the birthplace of Buddha hit differently than I imagined. The guide made everything smooth, kept the vibe chill, and shared stories that actually stuck. By the end, I was grateful to be a part of such a remarkable tour. Thank you so much, Himalayan 360 team!

This tour felt like more than just sightseeing. Every place had meaning, and the guide explained things in a simple, respectful way. Kathmandu’s monasteries were peaceful, especially Bouddhanath in the morning. Pharping was quiet and felt deeply spiritual. Pokhara gave a nice break with nature, lake views, and mountain scenery. Meditation sessions were gentle and easy to follow. Lumbini was powerful without being overwhelming. Walking through the gardens and monasteries felt calming and emotional. The long drives gave time to reflect and absorb everything. I liked that the tour focused on experience rather than rushing through sites. By the end, I felt mentally calm and spiritually refreshed. This pilgrimage helped me reconnect with myself and understand Buddhism in a very natural way.

Chitwan, Bardiya, and Koshi Tappu were full of amazing moments. The jeep safaris and walks through wetlands made me feel close to nature, and the mornings were quiet and perfect for taking photos.
During one walk, a crocodile slid into the water right in front of us, which surprised everyone but made a great photo. A group of monkeys followed our path for a while, and we all laughed at their playful antics. Watching the sun set over the wetlands with birds flying across the sky was beautiful. These little surprises happened every day and made me feel really connected to nature.

Barad (My Tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable. It is a day with lots to see and more to learn, definitely recommended. Even though there are so many places to visit but Barad never made me feel rushed. He still allowed me time to have tea, yoghurt, and enjoy good views. This is a fantastic tour. If you are interested in UNESCO World Heritage sites, you can book this full-day tour.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy this trip at first, but wow, it blew me away. Kathmandu was fun to explore, but Lumbini totally surprised me. It’s so peaceful, and the birdlife at Jagdishpur Lake is insane. I spent hours just trying to spot different birds and take photos. The drive to Chitwan felt long, but I didn’t mind because the views were amazing. Chitwan National Park is something else. The jeep safaris were thrilling, and even the short walks along the edge of the park were incredible. Our guide was super cool, always pointing out hidden wildlife and helping with photography tips. By the end, I was exhausted but super happy. Seriously, if you love nature, this trip is a must.
