Aarya Village Travel

Right from the moment I landed in Kathmandu, Aarya Village Travel looked after everything. I was met by Sudarshan and taken to my hotel and later contacted to have a brief about the planned tour. I was part of a bigger bike group traveling to Muktinath on Royal Enfield Bullets. The team from Aarya consisted of Sudarshan, Anup, Rajesh and Thule (spelling of Thule might be wrong). Each and every team member on the trip looked out for everything. Anup is able to fix any mechanical issue I am sure, and Sudarshan was the perfect host.

Every single meal time and stopping time the team made sure that the group were fed and watered before themselves and made sure that no-one in the group wanted for anything. It was quickly apparent how much fun the team had whilst doing their job, and they quickly became like friends to us. Towards the end, we sang and danced together and had the most magical experience. All the way through the tour and each day the team made each journey fun for everyone and offered many stories and information about Nepal.

I had the honour of extending my stay in Nepal and Aarya Village Travel managed to alter their schedule slightly to provide me with a private trek to the Langtang national park. Rajesh offered to be my guide and I spent the next 8 days with Rajesh climbing up to almost 5000m. As I mentioned before, this was awesome for me, as I felt I was doing this with a friend rather than a guide. Rajesh followed the same standard as the previous tour and looked out for my needs before his own. I had an awesome time explore Langtang national park including learning about the area and the effects of the recent earthquake there.

I come away from Nepal feeling much more understanding of the culture and history, as well as a place I can't wait to visit again, I will definitely be returning to Nepal and booking additional tours with Aarya Village Travel. It is one thing to go on vacation and spend time with a good tour company, but what really sets Aarya Village apart is that you are not just going on vacation with a good tour company, you will honestly end up feeling as though you were on vacation with friends, and it will honestly be one of the memorable travelling experiences I have ever been on.

Thanks to Aarya Village Travel, my visit to Nepal was wonderful! Aarya made me feel like Prins Siddharta on holiday! They made me a tailor made travel schedule for a very sharp price. The itinerary was 100% clear, detailed and transparent. In Nepal, everything went according to plan. The hotels were good to very good, the drivers were in time, the guides were good to excellent, and there was always someone available via WhatsApp (as if I was their only customer!).

I would highly recommend the Annapurna trekking as well as the paragliding in Pokhara. And in Kathmandu, it was great to learn about the country (history, people, culture, religions, etc) from an extremely well-educated guide, who spoke fluent English.

But the best of it all was that Aarya really went the extra mile when I forgot my sunglasses in the line bus. Aarya got them back from the bus company and…. the director of Aarya sent the parcel to Amsterdam when he was in London for a conference so that I didn’t have to pay the high price for DHL delivery from Nepal. All free of cost! Where do you find such a great service these days?!

I would love to come back for the Mount Everest trekking, and since Aarya Travel offers many tailormade Nepali travels, I will surely book with them again. Aarya Village Travel is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It's my first time to visit Nepal, and Aarya made it more memorable. Together with my friends (we are 5 people), we've explored Kathmandu (including Nagarkot) and its beautiful tourist spots. The hotel location was perfect. The entire arrangement was superb. I would highly say good words about Aarya to all of my friends in Dubai. One again, thank you! Two thumbs up for the good moments.

Yesterday was our final ride and it was epic, I must say. We started the day with about 3+ hours of switchbacks at a brisk pace and I do believe fun was be all, including our tour guides. We ended the day by riding into Kathmandu city, during rush hour and you really must experience that. Friends, that is an entirely different kind of technical riding, unlike anything in the "civilized" world. My beautiful wife even joined me for the first 4 hours and did not complain once - dare I say she enjoyed it. All told, we have approx 1,000 kms in the seats of these worthy mounts. Given the road conditions we encountered, I can safely say this is an accomplishment to be proud of. Other than chafed buttocks, no serious injuries were had. Our tour guides, ride-along mechanic and driver of the support truck and whole Aarya Village Travel Team could not have been more professional, accommodating and fun. If this is something you even think you may be interested in, hit me up for contacts and details. If you aren't into motorcycles, they also do jeep/truck/van tours.
