Perfect Trip with excellent Arrangements

19-Oct-2021

That was my second time to Nepal and again I was chosen to Relax Getaways as my travel and had several email contact before the trip and they were attentive and very responsive. They provided us with every detail related to 5 star Everest Base Camp. I enjoyed this trip more than I had expected and we had the most amazing Guide, guiding us on our trek and his energy was through the trek. The weather amazingly clear and sunny most days a great time of year for the trek but still cold enough to make us shiver. In the Himalayan region, the local people are so amazing and greeted us. ”Guest is God”. The sheer size of the valleys and Mountain something I have never experienced. Thank You Relax Getaways for being my companion for 12 days in your country, it was really amazing experience for me. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Amazing trip with Everest Flight

20-Nov-2020

I was on holiday to Nepal with my husband and we had a great time doing the trek all the way to the Poon hill, Jungle safari, and helicopter flight to Everest with an amazing experience. This helicopter experience was incredible. During the flight, our guide gave us great descriptions of all that we could see. This was a surreal and unforgettable experience. With perfect weather, our captain gave a great tour on the way into base camp.We highly recommend Relax Getaways with 100% Confidence, Safety and Trust! They did a great deal of planning for us and were very supportive, helpful and gave very quick replies to all our emails! A big thank-you to Mr. Resham for making our whole trip incredible.

Solo Nepal trip with Helicopter flight to Everest

01-Feb-2022

I was on solo trip to Nepal with Relax Getaways last year. I loved this Luxury Holidays in Nepal with Everest Helicopter tour itinerary. Trip was well organized and worth doing it. I would definitely recommend this tour and the agency relax getaways, if you are planning for the holiday in Nepal. Thanks to whole team of Relax Getaways for such wonderful and welcoming trip. I fly to Everest base camp by Helicopter and it was fantastic experience for me. I joined other 4 people for this heli tour and we first land on Lukla. Then two trip was done as only 3 people can fly to base camp due to weight restrictions. We spent around 15 minutes in basecamp and enjoyed one of the best of time of my life. The crystal clear views of Mt Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam was amazing. Rest of the tour package was good and as per planned. The services offered was amazing. I liked it a lot and great to spend some of my best moment of my life If you’re thinking of visiting Nepal, do it. It’s an amazing country

I and my husband were on holiday to Nepal with Relax Getaways on January 2020, It was a great holiday for us and had best memorable time. The heli tour toe Everest base camp on the 2nd day of our tour, it was awesome. We joined the other 3 people for the heli tour, it was day tour. The helicopter ride was thrilling and full of adventure flying above the high hills. And, other part of our holiday was city tour and Chitwan National park. Among these, I liked our stay in Pokhara. Pokhara is really a cool place to stay. I would love to be there one more time at least. The whole trip was a surreal and unforgettable experience for me.

Best trek Ever

20-Oct-2021

We are very happy with our Everest Base camp trek from Relax Getaways! We were from Australia and had never been in Nepal before which makes quite nervous while making this trip but this organization removes all the hesitation away. They provide basic needs like a hotel room, guide, and porter as per our suggestion that makes our trip, enjoyable and fun. We would recommend it to anyone as the views and thrilling experience were amazing with snow-capped mountain, breathtaking at high altitude and forget all the pain and felt refreshment. Also, EBC takes me to the closer to the world's highest peaks as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience ever in life. All the credit goes Relax Getaways and their team.
