How We Were Influenced To Take Nepal Vacation?

Published: 24th Sep, 2019

Hello there. My name is Adam. Me and my wife, Lorene finally had a taste of a paradise.

It was for one full week. This week changed few perspectives our life.

Today I’m going to share with you a couple of details of the Nepal trip that I booked through probably one of the best travel agency in Nepal and must say with a proactive young man.

What Does Paradise Means To Us?

Everybody has their own thoughts of what paradise is, yet our paradise constantly included Himalayas, landscape. Moreover, nature is what we call our paradise sometime we call it our “Cheerful Spot”.

Indeed, our “paradise” has consistently been a dream of us gazing the views of the Himalayas, the colorful Himalayas when the first rays of sun kisses the mountains, riding a boat in a tranquil, feeling the glow of the sun upon our skin, perusing a decent book, and tasting a tropical beverage containing an adorable umbrella.

To Lorene and me, this would be our paradise. In addition, no pressure, no stresses, no issues. Just harmony and calm, being unified with nature.

This is our rendition of heaven, as well. Possibly. Possibly not. In any case, I wager you adore Himalayas as much as we do. Furthermore, you may also be waiting the right time to get to see these majestic creations of mother nature.

How Did This Local Travel Agent in Nepal Influenced Us To Take Nepal Vacation?

I am a savvy internet user. Furthermore, I remember Lorene once said “Let us plan a vacation to Nepal”. I quickly searched “Best Nepal tour package“. As travel is a very competitive industry, it was overwhelming seeing the number of companies providing Nepal tour packages. Normally, we always book our tours from local tour operator, so we surely had plenty of options.

I ended up sending queries to a couple of local travel operators. To my surprise, I got a reply from one travel agent after an hour of my inquiry. The agent had prepared a detailed day-to-day program with lovely pictures and had quoted price, inclusions and the exclusions in PDF file. Wow!! what a lovely program.

However, I was not that fast in replying to this agent as I was awaiting a quote from other local travel agencies.

The next day, the Nepal vacation quotation started flooding my mailbox, some were okay, some were equally beautiful. However, the quotation was different in every inquiry. I printed out all the programs and quotation that I had received. As Lorene has always been the travel manager, she chooses the best. Yes she does and I trust her on this.

As advised the program from this travel agent stood up from the crowd. Moreover, it was not only the Nepal vacation program, further, in the first email agent provided us the information about upon arrival visa in Nepal. That was much of a relief to us. Yes, you have on arrival visa in Nepal. However, the price was not as competitive as compared to other travel operators.

So after 2 days I replied to him, and told the agent honestly that his price was not as competitive and we would only consider the agent can offer us with the competitive quotation. As always, the agent replied very fast. What kept me scratching my head was, in the first line agent had written” Service Does Not Have A Price“, wow, what a craziest thing to say, to bounce your potential client. However, agent than politely wrote:

Now, slowly it began to make some sense!!! but I needed something more..

In last line agent wrote:

Wow!! I have been many countries, exchanged mails with various travel suppliers but have never heard such an impressive question a travel supplier. Moreover, this question immediately made me presume the standard quality of this travel agent.

Again, my reply was not as fast as his, I waited for a few days, as I thought agent would be desperate and ultimately reduce the price. However, after 3 days. I received a follow-up email saying :

Sorry, I forgot to write, agent also asked me to compare the inclusions and exclusions of the program as many travel agents have hidden costs, which you will have to pay after you arrive in Nepal. Yes, agent was right!! Furthermore, In some quotations, monumental entrance fees were not included. In some, guide services were not included. One quotation, stated transfer in a NON A/C car. What does this mean? A NON A/C car for our week-long trip? No way..

On the other hand, tour package sent by this travel agent everything. So I decided to finalize my Nepal trip with this agent. So I wrote the agent a confirmation email. Again, in no time the agent replied, thanking for confirming the service.

Further, agent wrote:

This agent is an awesome sales person, isn’t it?

So How Was The Service Delivery?

We had confirmed 3 star hotel in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Nagarkot. The accommodation was 3 star, however, the service delivery was 5 star. Further, managing director of this travel agent with whom I exchanged emails, himself was waiting for us in the arrival terminal with beautiful garland. A very well dressed and well spoken, he greeted us and got us into the car.

Further, during our drive from airport to hotel, he again asked me “what made you choose our travel agency?“. I replied that your program was nice, you are quick in responding to all our questions, and provided us the great guidance. However, now I think the question the agent asked me in the second mail made us choose this particular travel agent:

Furthermore, the guides were knowledgeable, the vehicle was in a very good condition, and the hotels rooms superb. What more can I say now? However, we can say this tour exceeded our expectation.

Finally, a big thanks to everyone involved in making our trip hassle free and fantastic!!!
