All my very, very best,

We loved Nepal, but it has a lot of luxury travel catching up to do and they are still recovering from the earthquake ☹ It was sad to see so many buildings still in disrepair, but there is a lot of building going on. Being there during Diwali was so much fun and we got so many big smiles wearing our new Diwali outfits! It was great fun – thank you!!! In a nutshell:

Kathmandu: So interesting all the markets and heritage sights! Right out of national geographic – could not get enough! Again, loved turning stares into smiles and conversation.

Chitwan: Saw a one-horned rhino and 2-month old baby that was the highlight. We really liked the Taj and were treated with royal Taj hospitality! Highly recommend this property for sure! Here again we were upgraded to a villa!! Incredible! The food was also fantastic! Taj really has wonderful chefs! Our naturalist even picked a pomelo right from a tree for me (my favorite fruit) and gave it to the chef to create something for me! Dinner that night we had the most incredible pomelo salad – OMG!!! Can’t say enough about the food here!!

The drive to Pokhara was smooth and I would recommend it over flying from Chitwan so that was a good call. Flights gets changed a lot in Nepal so driving is the best option and only really took 3 hours since there was no traffic!

Staying at Tiger Mountain Lodge was wonderful. We liked being away from the city center too. Trekking is the activity here and so fabulous! One of the highlights of Nepal was taking a trek through the villages around the lodge for 5 hours with one of their great guides Hari! Loved every second!!!

Learned a lot about Nepal since this was my first visit. It is a shoppers paradise too. If one knows how to bargain it is a real deal!!!

We absolutely loved the entire experience!!!

We felt safe with knowing he was indeed looking after our safety first. Sandeep was always in touch and also efficiently made last minute changes for us when we decided to take a train. Your rep in Ranthambhore met us at the railway station at Sawi Madhopur, ensured we were safely on board and also contacted a friend who worked on the train to assist us and let us know when to get off in Bharatpur. The guides were knowledgeable and were always willing to work on our wishes and schedule. Needless to say we were very well looked after every step of the way. Kudos to your team!

I must also add that our choice of using the Oberoi Hotels was the best decision we made. Your influence in getting us the Virtuoso package was a real bonus and of great value and very much appreciated. We have traveled extensively in may areas of the world and have stayed at many First Class hotels but non compare to the level of service, the attention to detail, the quality of the food, the friendly staff, the beautiful design of the resorts and accommodations as with the Oberoi chain. We were personally met by the general manager at each and every property. Each property was like an oasis to come back to after a day of touring.

This combination of your staff and the Oberoi resorts made this an unforgettable journey to be remembered forever.

Thank you again and best wishes to all the staff that we came in contact with.

Rajesh, our driver was fantastic. He was always on time, polite and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver. He ensured all our belongings were always safe as well as keeping us safe on the crazy India roads.

Thank you Asia Luxe for helping me plan a beautiful holiday.

Thank you again and best regards,
