By Natalie B October 27, 2025 Honeymoon Tour with Mosaic Adventure
My husband and I chose the 6-day Kathmandu Pokhara tour for our honeymoon with Mosaic Adventure, and it went pretty well. The hotels were top-notch in all three places: Kathmandu, Nagarkot, and Pokhara. The itinerary was well-paced, starting with some leisure time on arrival and then allowing enough time to visit cultural gems like Pashupatinath and Boudhanath. The drive option isn’t that great due to the road conditions in Nepal, but our driver was excellent, patient, skilled, and cheerful even while driving under stress. Our guide Keshar was top notch, really professional, and knew when to engage in conversation and when to give us space. A big thanks to Madhav for arranging the tour and, at the last minute, changing our return from a drive to a flight. He immediately arranged our Pokhara to Kathmandu flight tickets, and the airport transfer went smoothly too. The value-added services and quick communication are key while on vacation, and the Mosaic Adventure team was spot on with this. If you want a relaxing yet enriching Nepal experience, book this tour with Mosaic Adventure!

By Calvin P October 17, 2025 Wonderful 6-day Nepal Tour
For a group of 7, we booked the 6 Days Kathmandu Nagarkot Pokhara Tour with Mosaic Adventure, and it exceeded our expectations. The company and its owner, Raj, handled everything flawlessly, from the initial booking inquiry through WhatsApp to the hotels, comfortable transfers, and knowledgeable guide. From exploring UNESCO World Heritage Sites to enjoying the view from Nagarkot, boating on Phewa Lake, and watching the sunrise and sunset, it was a wonderful trip. The only minor hiccup was some traffic in Kathmandu and along the route, and the road conditions weren’t great, but that’s beyond Mosaic’s control. Overall, it was great value for money. If you’re looking for a mix of history and scenery, have limited vacation time, and want to enjoy a Nepal tour without any hassle, this trip with Mosaic Adventure is spot on.

By Lisa Graham May 7, 2024 6 Days Kathmandu Pokhara Tour
I just got back from the 6 Days Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour with Mosaic Adventure, and it was absolutely magical! We started with a smooth airport pickup and had time to settle in Kathmandu. The highlights for me were the visits to Pashupatinath and Patan. The atmosphere at the temple and the design of the square were amazing, and our guide Raju explained everything so well. From the sunrise at Nagarkot to the peaceful boating at Phewa Lake, this tour was very well planned. The itinerary had the right mix of culture, nature, and relaxation. Raj and the team were super helpful, and the private vehicle was comfortable with a polite and friendly driver. I highly recommend this trip for families, couples, or first-time visitors to Nepal. It is worth every penny of the package price!

By Debra Mayes November 1, 2019 Best guide ever!
Best Guide Ever! Keshar Jung Thapa is the guide for you. If you want to experience Nepal, explore a cave, trek the Himalayans, visit a museum, meditate at a monastery then choose this tour. We did all that and more. This was a three credit college class with reviews at every turn. I have a deeper understanding of Nepal, Hinduism and Buddhism. We visited sacred sites, stupas, and mountain communities. Keshar packed every day full of enlightened views of Nepal culture. He made our visit an adventure for sure!

By Miranda Sikkens February 21, 2019 Brilliant trip with 4 month old son
We had a brilliant trip with our 4 month son last February. From the outset, Madhav was very responsive to our email queries and put together a great itinerary for our little family, including honest pricing for our hotel upgrades in both Kathmandu and Pokhara. We were greeted at the airport by our guide Keshar, who stayed with us throughout our 5 day trip. We had good cars and drivers assigned to us. It was no problem adding on activities such as paragliding in Pokhara or slightly adjusting our itinerary timings to accommodate our baby's needs. We definitely felt we made the most of our short time in Nepal and when we return one day to do a trek, we will for sure be in touch with Mosaic again.

By Daffodils Guevarra May 25, 2014 Definitely going back to Nepal
I and my friend decided to go on a the 6-day Discover Nepal Tour with Mosaic. We only had 6 days, but the Mosaic team made sure that we maximized and enjoyed our journey - we saw all the major attractions in kathmandu, pokhara, nagarkot, phewa lake, bhaktapur, we were able to do some trekking on the mountainside, boating in phewa lake, ride a plane to catch a glimpse of the magnificent mount everest, and the best thing was, we didnt feel rushed. our guide Keshar was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and had a good command of English. The drivers were friendly all throughout, and Madhav, our trip coordinator, called us everyday just to see how we were doing. They were also very punctual... when they said pickup time was at 545am, they meant just that... 545am. sharp. :) we're definitely going back to nepal, and the next time we do that, it'll always be with Mosaic Adventure Trek and Tours. :)
