First Time in Nepal – Unforgettable Upper Mustang Trek and Tiji Festival
This was my first time in Nepal, and I wanted to do the Upper Mustang trek and witness the Tiji Festival. I contacted Mr. Dhruba Dharel to ask about the festival dates, and he helped me plan everything accordingly.
I arrived in Nepal at the right time, and we started the trek. It was a fantastic experience—the natural beauty, the Tibetan cultural atmosphere, the peaceful Buddhist monasteries, and the incredible Tiji Festival made the journey truly unforgettable.
I want to sincerely thank the entire team at Eco Holidays Nepal for organizing and supporting me throughout this memorable trek.
Thank you!

A Life-Changing Experience in Upper Mustang and the Tiji Festival
I saw a picture of Upper Mustang and the Tiji Festival online, and it looked so beautiful that I knew I had to go. After doing some research, I found out that the region is restricted to outsiders, but it's possible to visit by paying a $500 permit fee and traveling with a licensed guide. That’s when I came across Eco Holidays Nepal.
I contacted them, and they helped me book the flight and arrange everything. I was a bit worried about the permits and documents, but Eco Holidays Nepal managed everything smoothly. When I arrived in Nepal, Mr. Dhruba came to pick me up at the airport and dropped me at the hotel. From there, we started our trek from Kagbeni.
I was amazed by the landscapes, especially the man-made caves in the hills and houses built inside cliffs. The highlight of the trip was experiencing the Tiji Festival—it was truly beautiful and culturally rich. I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed this rare event. Very few people get to experience this trek, and I feel it has changed my life.
I want to sincerely thank the entire team at Eco Holidays Nepal for their excellent service and support throughout the journey. There are so many emotions and experiences I can’t even express in words.
I highly recommend Eco Holidays Nepal to anyone planning to visit Upper Mustang or explore Nepal. Thank you again for everything!

A Beautiful Family Trip to Kalinchowk with Eco Holidays Nepal
We are originally from India but currently live in the UK. Our whole family planned a trip to India to celebrate Diwali, and afterward, we decided to visit Nepal. As devotees of Durga and Devi, we especially wanted to visit the Kalinchowk Bhagawati Temple.
After celebrating Diwali in India, we traveled to Nepal and explored the Kathmandu Valley. Then, we headed to Kalinchowk for darshan. We also planned a short trek, and my friend Dhruba took care of all the arrangements for us. Everything was perfectly managed—from transportation to trekking requirements.
Visiting Kalinchowk, trekking through the scenic trails, and playing in the snow made it one of the most memorable moments we've had as a family in a long time.
I want to sincerely thank the entire team at Eco Holidays Nepal and our wonderful guide for their help and support throughout the trip. Thank you, Eco Holidays Nepal!
