How to book holiday trip in Nepal?

Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.

On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.

Round Annapurna Trekking

Satori Adventures was the organizer of our Annapurna Circuit Trekking. We had heard that the Annapurna circuit had be ruined by the new road, but Satori Adventures managed to minimize the use of them and the views are still spectacular. We are glad we weren't put off from doing the Annapurna circuit. Our guide Krishna was fantastic, as was our porter Raj, they both helped make our holiday unforgettable. Krishna always found the great places to stay and eat. We were still in the mountains when the earth quake hit Nepal and Rishi did a good job of communicating with our families as we finished our holiday. It was a great holiday, a great trek with guys we will never forget.

Annapurna Circuit trekking and Mountain biking

It was a long time ago when I and my friends had a lively conversation about Himalaya Mountains and Nepal resulting in decision to go and explore the roof of the world ourselves. I had started to search a genuine company which could provide all service there. As usually I search in Google for activities in Nepal and found Satori Adventures.

We had three weeks of amazing adventures in Annapurna region! Trekking around Annapurna, getting over Thorung La (5416m) pass, cycling downhill to Beni, was, what a experience for us. Awesome. This trip needs to be repeated! So we are very grateful to Rishi and Satori team for this unforgettable trip we had meet wonderful people face to face. How touching to see the local kids putting their small dirty palms together and greeting travelers: Namaste!

I found that Nepal is "Never Ending Peace and Love for me". It`s true.From the bottom of my heart I recommend everyone to use Satori Adventures team for the most unforgettable experience in Himalayas.

Annapurna Circuit trekking with Satori

We are a couple from Germany and we’ve been twice in Nepal through Satori Adventure, last time in October 2019.

We were really very content of the whole trip that’s why we want to give a big praise to Rishi and his Team. Perfect Organization, Flexibility, open minded for any kind of wishes .

They take in account small changes in the program at request of the customers and this at very good prices (I researched myself and compared to other service teams). You get for sure best prices through Satori Adventure.

Also at this time we would like to say a great big thank you to all who contributed to this trip.

We wish to the whole team a lot of success and we’re looking forward to the next project with Satori Adventure.

Best regards Nelu Manta

Satori Adventures - My Family Away From Home!

I’ve travelled to Nepal twice. Once in 2011, when, along with friends from Canada and Romania, we trekked the wonderful Annapurna Circuit. Second time it was in 2013, when, with a small group of friends, we trekked to Everest Base Camp. Both were amazing adventures, excellently organized by Mr. Rishi Bhandari and the wonderful team at Satori Adventures. The level of service exceeded our expectation and was greatly appreciated!

Rishi and his team became our friends and we've remained in touch ever since. I warmly recommend them to anyone who wants to travel to Nepal. They are very professional, will accommodate all your needs and they feel like family. I consider them my family away from home.

Rishi, the painting that you so nicely gave to me as a present is hanging in my bedroom and it reminds me every day of Himalayas, of you and all my Nepali friends.

Greetings from Canada!

Namaste,

Annapurna circuit trekking with Satori Adventure

My friend and I went on a 2 week adventure on the annapurna circuit in nepal. We had the best time with Satori Adventure. They helped us plan our trip and answered all of are questions before the trip (very fast on responding). When we first arrived in Kathmandu, not only the plane was late but the air compagnie had lost our luggages. All of Satori's team was there to help us, they were very patient, they did everything they could to try to locate our luggages before our trip the next day. Unfortunatly, the luggage did not came on time. Santori adventure lend us everything we needed and went with us shopping :) They were so helpfull, we did even had time to stress. On top of that, our guide and porter were the best. We were always laughing, they were very helpfull, always making sure we didnt miss anything. The trip was a SUCCESS. When we came back our luggage was waiting for us. The client service and professionalism was at is best. We highly recommend Satori Adventure and cant wait to book our next trip with them to do the EBC.

Wonderful trek. Loved Nepal, the people and the food.

October 2023

Satori were very responsive during the planning stage and everything was well organized once we were in country. Satori and in particular, Rishi, take a very personal approach to the whole trip from initial meeting to final goodbyes. Our guide, Mekh, was outstanding and both our porters, Toman and Kesher were superb - all were very much part of our group. We will miss them now it is all over.

The arranged hotel and tea-house accommodation throughout was very good as were all the meals.

The itinerary worked really well with well selected stopping points on route and we felt no need to take advantage of the flexibility offered.

We did expect the route to be busier than we actually experienced.
