A truly unforgettable and heartfelt experience of Nepal - Sabbatical Explore Nepal gave me an truly unforgettable experience of Nepal. My host and owner of Sabbatical Explore Nepal, Shiva gave me the most personable trip I have ever experienced and I have traveled to many places around the world. Shiva treated me like a beloved family member who always met my requests promptly and was even became my personal photographer and took some amazing photos of my trip. If you want a truly authentic and heartfelt experience of Nepal, I highly recommend Shiva and his team. It will be the best decision you make.

The Old and Progressive Nepal Tour - Every question I asked was throughly answered. Often, before I could ask a question, the answer was given. I was well entertained and enjoyed learning about old Nepal 🇳🇵 and progressive Nepal. I will take more tours with Sabbatical Explore!

Would visit again! - We recently booked our Nepal trip with Sabbatical Explorer, and the experience was fantastic. Upon arriving in Kathmandu, we were warmly welcomed, and they helped us select the best package after discussing all our options in detail. We even compared a few alternatives in the market and felt confident we’d chosen the right provider. What made this experience special was the personal touch they brought. They listened to our preferences, allowed us to explore each site at our own pace, and never rushed us, which was especially nice since I was traveling with my mother. It felt like we truly got to experience Nepal rather than just checking things off a list. Thanks to their exceptional service, we had a memorable journey, and we’ll absolutely plan another trip with them in the future. Highly recommend Sabbatical Explorer!

Great experience! - shiva was a great tour planner. he planned everything for us for our stay in nepal and we didn’t lift a finger, just be at the lobby in the morning and everything was sorted for us. it made the vacation unforgettable and very stress free as we didn’t have to worry about anything. all the tours that shiva planned for us were very enjoyable, family friendly and very affordable. definitely recommend shiva and when we return to nepal we will be seeking his services again. every accommodation that shiva booked for us was amazing with all meals included as well as a driver to take us to places.

Nagarkot Sunrise and hiking tour - Shiva helped arrange my sunrise visit to Nagarkot followed by a hike and crossing one of the suspension bridges across the Bagmati. We finished with a visit to Bhaktapur for the Durbah and King Curd. The driver and tour guide were professional yet friendly, and I had no hassles at all on my tour. I would totally recommend using Sabbatical Explore Nepal.
