Top Notch Services
![]() Kaya at Asia Highlights helped make our honeymoon in Thailand the perfect trip. It was truly the best balance between structured and unstructured time abroad. They cater their services to exactly what you're looking for. Also, their responsiveness is uncanny. Kaya at Asia Highlights in particular deserves special mention. She out our trip together for us, put up with us, and was always available for any hiccups during the trip. We plan to use their excellent services again for our next trip to Asia. Highly recommended, and ask for Kaya! More

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
![]() Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Suggested Itinerary for Inspiration
Your preferences design the real journey. We're ready to create a wonderful Nepal tour for you.
Arrive at Kathmandu. Meet our representative and transfer to your hotel. Enjoy your free time to acclimatize during the rest of day.
Start your tour from Kathmandu Durbar Square. Observe the spectacular art and architecture of the medieval and modern Malla (1201–1779) and Shah (1559–2008) dynasties.
Then, visit the sacred Hindu shrine Pashupatinath. It is also a crematorium. If you see a funeral at the cremation ghat (sacred riverfront), it could be a moment that stuns your soul.
Continue to Boudhanath Stupa to feel the piety of Tibetan Buddhism. The eyes on the golden pagoda might impress you a lot.
Visit the "Monkey Temple" at the end. You will find out how well Hinduism and Buddhism combine there.

Fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara in the morning for a very enjoyable boat ride on Phewa Lake in the afternoon. The pretty scenery with the snow-capped mountains will make you feel that you are in Switzerland.

First, visit the Davis Falls. See the meltwater from the mountains plunge into the underground plunge pool, and maybe encounter a lovely rainbow.
Then, explore Gupteshwor Mhadev Cave for the huge stalagmites worshiped as a Shiva Lingam (a symbolic representation of the god Shiva).
In the International Mountain Museum, listen to stories of mountaineers and local people who love their Himalayan homeland. Then enjoy magnificent mountain views at World Peace Pagoda.
