Single day tour

I stayed at this hotel with my family, including my 9- and 14-year-old children, for four nights. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The accommodation was extremely dirty, and the staff were neither helpful nor welcoming. Despite requesting room cleaning every day—both by calling reception and by placing the cleaning sign on the door—our room was never cleaned. Most of the staff appeared grumpy and uninterested in assisting guests. We also experienced several maintenance issues during our stay. The lights went off many times while I was reading, which was very frustrating. Our room key cards were frequently locked, causing unnecessary inconvenience and repeated trips to reception. Although there was hot water, it often suddenly turned cold, making it difficult for my children to shower comfortably. We specifically requested non-smoking rooms; however, cigarette smoke constantly entered our room because other guests were smoking on their balconies. This made the environment very unpleasant, especially for children. On a positive note, Chicken Briyani was excellent, and the food overall was very good. However, despite this one highlight, I would not recommend this hotel for families due to poor cleanliness, lack of service, and ongoing inconveniences.

Shout-out to HSJ's hotel, located at a short walking distance from the Thamel shopping area in Kathmandu. We stayed there for six nights, rooms were clean, staff were friendly and our stay was comfortable. We were a party of 9.

The service of the hotel is excellent. Staffs are very co-operative. Amenities were nice but the view is not good. Unfortunately, the AC was not working suddenly at night. As we were fasting, we requested them to serve our breakfast at night which they packed in a box and asked us to pick it up around 4 am. It was a very good and supportive service from the hotel's end.

Sydney: An Expensive City That Seems to Have Forgotten Its Humanity Sydney, astonishingly, reminded me of Swindon — and not in a flattering sense. I make the comparison deliberately. For a city marketed internationally as Australia’s great global capital, the lived reality feels strangely neglected, disjointed, and indifferent to the people moving through it. Everything is profoundly overpriced. A ten-minute transfer between airport terminals cost me $42 — less a transport service than a surcharge levied on exhaustion. Walking was not realistically possible; pedestrian routes appear fragmented, unfinished, or designed without consideration for actual human movement. The occasional stretch of pathway leading nowhere only reinforced the impression of planning divorced from practicality. When I asked for directions, the response was laughter and a resigned “good luck.” That moment captured the experience perfectly. For a city of such international standing, Sydney is surprisingly uninspiring after dark. It lacks warmth, cohesion, and vitality — neither especially beautiful nor thoughtfully illuminated. The weather pales beside Queensland’s, and even its much-celebrated gardens are deeply underwhelming: poorly maintained, uninspired in design, and strangely devoid of the care or civic pride one expects from a city so eager to trade on its natural beauty. Unlike Melbourne or Brisbane, where local identity feels actively nurtured, Sydney gives the impression of a place people endure rather than cherish. Much of the urban landscape feels dominated by transactional spaces — cafés, resale shops, and transient commerce replacing genuine community character. At times, the city resembles an exhausted marketplace rather than a cultural capital. There were, however, moments of genuine kindness. A shuttle driver whose generosity bordered on angelic restored some faith in human decency, and the residents of Glebe were notably warm and welcoming. These encounters stood out precisely because they contrasted so sharply with the broader atmosphere. Perhaps most confronting is the visible wealth divide. The disparity between affluence and hardship is not merely noticeable — it is unsettling. Homelessness here appears harsh and unforgiving, and public spaces rarely feel safe or comfortable, particularly as a woman travelling alone. Sydney possesses immense natural advantages, yet the city itself feels disconnected from compassion, accessibility, and care. My overwhelming impression was not anger, but sadness: a remarkable location shaped into a place that feels unnecessarily difficult, expensive, and emotionally cold. In all my travels, this has been one of the most disappointing urban experiences I have encountered. Also, the airport is closed between 11pm and supposedly 3am. It’s currently 3:20am and I’m still waiting for it to open.

Always a smooth experience at Sydney Airport. Check-in and security were efficient, signage is clear, and facilities are clean and modern. Good range of food and retail options while waiting for flights. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great gateway to and from Sydney.

Great experience at Sydney Airport! The airport is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Security and check-in were smooth, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options available. Staff were helpful and signage is clear, making the travel experience stress-free. One of the most efficient airports to travel through. Highly recommended!

This process was easy, fast, and getting an answer was faster than what your told to expect. The approved loan funds were paid out faster also. Very pleased with the process.

Good wow nice

Fast and efficient

We are definitely going back and will do the Annapurna trek with you, guys. Our trekking to the Everest Base Camp was simply amazing. We chose what I think is the best company and I am positive that their best trait, what tells them apart from other companies, is the way you can see they care for their clients and how they adapt to their specific needs. From the beginning we noticed how personal their attention was, since we felt more like guests, rather than their clients. Basu and his wife are such nice people and I'm glad we got to know them a little during our trip. As for Achut Pandey, you can notice his expertise of more than 20 years as a guide. He was so attentive all the time, as well as generous and kind. Achut is someone who you can trust with your safety because he will know how to handle any situation in the best way, always putting your well-being in the first place. See you soon, Warm regards from Madrid🤗🤗.

By far my best travel experience. Very well organized, they made me feel important from the first moment they waited for me at the airport. The team is made up of beautiful, receptive and patient people 😊

I would definitely recommend Nepal Social Treks to anyone visiting this fabulous country. I was one of a party of four who took the Wonderful Nepal Tour in November 2019. It certainly met, if not exceeded, our expectations and we had an amazing time. Our guide, Vim, was knowledgeable and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver, Naveroz, was just amazing – how he negotiated the mountain roads, hairpin bends and general chaos of the roads is anyone’s guess but we were pleased he knew what he was doing! The tour covers key places including Pokhara, Kathmandhu, Chitwan National Park and Lumbini and I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing Nepal but not wanting to go trekking. All the hotels were of a good standard, very comfortable with breakfast included in all and dinner at some (all details set out clearly in our itinerary). All entrance fees for sites were included in the tour price. We found it easy to communicate with the team through emails; they were extremely helpful and were happy to tailor the tour to fit in with our flights to and from Nepal. On arrival in Kathmandhu we were met by a representative of the company and taken to our hotel and from there we went to the office to meet Basu and Samjhana before heading off to a welcome dinner. When we arrived back in Kathmandhu at the end of the trip, we were asked to pop into the office where, to our surprise, there was a birthday cake waiting for my husband who was celebrating his 60th birthday that day. Very thoughtful and over and above what we expected so thank you so much. Tips – take the flight option from Pokhara back to Kathmandhu, it’s worth the additional cost. It will save you a day’s car journey and should give you a bit of extra time to explore Kathmandhu. I’d also recommend taking the mountain flight to the Himalayas – it was probably the highlight of our month long trip to India and Nepal.
