He booked this trip with us through ethicaltravelportal.com, our trip partner in Norway.

FredrikI travelled with Ansvarlig Turisme/ Ethical Travel Portal to The Gambia in 2008. Based on that trip my expectation for this trip to Nepal was enormous. Would this trip and experiences be at the same level as I had in The Gambia almost two years back?? 

We reached Kathmandu airport after twenty hours journey. Here representatives from socialtours were waiting for us with a warm welcome. After arrival, transfer to the hotel and information about the trip and responsible tourism program we enjoyed our welcome dinner in a traditional Nepalese restaurant. The next day we spent time at socialtours office and learned about their work and efforts in responsible tourism. Later our Heritage Trail started to the many of the UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. The culture difference from Europe is a paradise for a photographer!

Responsible Peek into Nepal
11 days, Oct 09

LindaWe had a fantastic experience travelling with socialtours. They showed us the real Nepal in a responsible way. During our 11 days trip we experienced a lot from culture heritage trail in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan, trekking the Chepang trail, exploring Chitwan National Park, homstay, visiting villages and local people, learning from them about their daily life and visiting responsible tourism projects... socialtours handled our trip in a very professional and friendly way; from organising our trip before arrival, during our stay and made sure we had arrived safely back home again. Working in the field of responsible tourism it is in particular good to see the principles in action. I highly recommend socialtours for a responsible travel in Nepal.

Our group of 22 Californians presented Social Tours with several unique requests. They accomodated us on every one with professionalism and generosity. Several members of socialtours, not only prepared every facet of our Kathmandu Valley tour and Tamang Heritage trek, but also took personal care in welcoming us, leading us and helping us. They even allowed time for reflections with all of our group leaders and exposed us to the real Nepal in a way that did not intrude on the villages or the environment. I hope to travel with socialtours again.

Having already had some experience with trekking in Nepal over many years and with guides and porters, I was very impressed and pleased with Social Tours' level of professionalism, competence, concern, flexibility, responsiveness and support as well their two guides' incredible skills and expertise in leading our group of 22 people. As the co-leader of the group, I can truthfully say that I am one very satisfied customer and would highly recommend Social Tours to anyone seeking a reputable travel/trekking agency in Nepal that you can depend on and trust to deliver a successful experience at an affordable price. Thank you very much, staff of Social Tours!
