I just love their services. I gifted their services to my parents, and they enjoyed their trip a lot. I am so grateful to Treks Advisor for taking such good care of my parents. We didn't need to pay any extra charges for porters, guides, or drivers—everything was included. Previously, we had a trip in India to Ladakh, where we had to pay extra for everyone, so this was a major plus point. Additionally, all meals were included—not just breakfast, but lunch and dinner as well. Private vehicles were used for intercity travels, which made the trip even more comfortable. The services were great, and my parents loved the experience. Thank you, Treks Advisor!

In May, my husband and I visited Nepal with Treks Advisor , a surprise gift from our children for our summer vacation. Being from India and having never traveled to another country before, we were initially unsure about what to expect in Nepal. However, our experience turned out to be incredibly smooth and seamless. The prices were genuine and transparent, with no hidden charges. Almost everything was covered, making the trip stress-free. At our age of 50+ and 55, we were a bit apprehensive about managing the travel, but Treks Advisor made it effortless. The stay was comfortable, the travel was relaxing, and the guides were very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you, Treks Advisor, for your exceptional services.
