Nepal Social Treks offers optional hotel pickup from Kathmandu or Patan, with English-speaking airport assistance and a return to the same terminal.

“The Himalayans Mountains are beautful and majestic. The snow capped peaks and rugged outline is just breathtaking. Even though Everest is in the distance her beauty is regal with the wispy cloud draping her shoulders. Worth the early rise and I will be eternally grateful we had good weather first attempt.”
