Great people and as helpful as it can get
I've been to Nepal a while ago, and Birendra & his team helped me a lot to have a smooth trip. They booked flights for me, organized a trip to Bhutan, gave a lot of helpful advice, etc.

To make it short: If you are in Thamel and need someone to help you get things sorted out, I can only recommend coming here!

Outstanding service
We “met” Birendra, the owner of Adventure Club Treks & Expeditions, long before we ever arrived in Nepal and well before we realized he was involved in tourism. We spent a great deal of time talking to him online via Skype and also email. We asked Birendra countless questions over many months about what to see in Nepal. He never ceased to amaze us with his endless patience and prompt responses to our queries. We never even wanted to do any trekking in Nepal because we were far more interested in the culture and in sightseeing. We felt we trusted Birendra so when it came time to book day trips, accommodation, Everest flights, etc we knew who we wanted to do the job for us. He also organized our day tours to Boudhanath and Monkey Temple. He was the person who suggested we stay in Bhaktapur, in the World Heritage Area, for a couple of nights at the Vajra Hotel. We were so glad he suggested it. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Nepal. It was at his suggestion we stayed at the Sacred Valley Inn in Pokhara for a couple of nights and that was another highlight of our trip. We are now such good friends that we are frequently in contact via the internet. We found him to be a very conscientious person who genuinely likes helping people. He was always concerned with our welfare whilst we were in Nepal to the point where he insisted we borrow his mobile phone so we could keep in contact with him at all times. We can thoroughly recommend him if you need the services of an organized and professional person for your tours in Nepal.
