The Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara tour package exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well-planned, covering key attractions in each location.
Kathmandu offered a cultural immersion with its ancient temples and vibrant markets. The guided tours were informative, and the free time allowed for personal exploration.
Chitwan's wildlife experience was a highlight. The jungle safari provided opportunities to spot diverse fauna, and the overall stay was comfortable.
In Pokhara, the serene lakes and stunning mountain views created a tranquil atmosphere. The optional activities, such as boating on Phewa Lake and visiting the World Peace Pagoda, added value.
Accommodations were satisfactory, and transportation between locations was efficient. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful throughout.
Overall, the tour provided a well-rounded experience of Nepal's diverse landscapes and cultures. I recommend for those seeking a balanced mix of adventure and cultural exploration.

Booked a Hotel in New Delhi, India. It was my first time visiting New Delhi and without any concrete knowledge about the logging and traveling ideas, I visited Speedy Tourism's office and I couldn't be much more happier that I did. The staffs were very responsive and helpful, tried to clear my doubts and answered all my questions before mentioning any business to them. The hotel in New Delhi is also very good, Nepali owned so it was a excellent experience.
