A most successful pilgrimage support by a most excellent team at Leaf Holidays!
My friend and I have successfully completed the guided Mt Kailash and Manasarover pilgrimage with the help of Managing Director Gopal Thapa, of Leaf Holidays, in September 2024. I can personally vouch for their thorough support throughout from the moment we started communications to clarify details of the tour, to ensure we booked it with confidence, to when we arrived and departed - they have an excellent and experienced network of guides, porters and chefs. I felt totally looked after and cared for throughout. Gopal was on hand every step of the way to support everyone's particular requirements. Most of all he did all this while staying cheerful, patient and amicable all the time! The chefs did an excellent job cooking fresh breakfast, lunch and dinner at every location. Incredible support was provided during the Lake Manasrover prayers and also during the Mt Kailash circumambulation by both Gopal and Kusum. Absolutely loved the cultural night treat a day before our departure with the added bonus of celebrating Gopal's brithday! Bravo indeed Leaf Holidays team - many thanks, keep it up and God bless!

Gopal Thapa and his team were exceptional, providing constant updates and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the trip. Their service was prompt, and the staff were wonderful, always ready to assist.The hotels were comfortable, and every detail of the trip was well-planned. Gopal and his team not only looked after all our needs but also accompanied us during the Kora, offering encouragement and support along the way. The food provided was fresh and excellent, adding to the overall experience.We highly recommend Leaf Holidays for anyone considering a Yatra to Kailash Manasarovar. We rate them 10/10 for their outstanding service, professionalism, and care throughout the journey.

Dream Darshan of Kailash Maansarovar
Going to Kailash Maansarovar was a life long dream and just when I thought it may never happen I got the divine call from Jayshree our tour operator to pack my bags and get ready. The Yatra was very well organized with ZERO planning n stress for me.The flights, the accommodation, food and transport were awesome.The people who really looked after us day and night and very warmly deserve a mention here. Gopal Thapa for Visa's and accommodation in Nepal. He gave us a very warm welcome at the airport too :) We were taken to Pashupatinath temple and also our Mountain flight to Everest and other Himalayan ranges was well organized.Gokaran who was our 24 hrs shadow and helped us with every little thing on the 11 day drive and trek to Kailash and Maansarovar. He made us laugh so much with his jokes and he is such a good singer. He was also the life saver with oxygen cylinder for me as I had low O2 a few times at high altitude. He made the whole trip seem so easy though it's one of the most difficult Darshans that one can do.Gokul and Nakul and the good chef who kept feeding us 3 times a day with warm breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very nice and genuine guys and so hardworking.I would recommend Leaf Holidays to anyone and everyone as there is a homely feeling with them and most of us literally had tears at the end of the trip. Like we wanted to come home but also we were leaving these lovely souls behind to help with other Yatris. I think I will always keep in touch with them as for me now they are family :)

Unforgettable Kailash Manasarover - June 2024
Breath-taking views and amazing location! What an experience... Leaf Holidays took care of us very well... We landed at midnight and Gopal was there at the airport to receive us, right from there till we were dropped back at the airport, Leaf Holidays staff were there to take care of us and ensured that we enjoy each day of our trip. Even while waiting for our group visa to arrive, they took us around Nepal each day to a different location accompanied by their staff and arranged cab services. All hotel stays were superb, especially in Tibet. Food was delicious, freshly cooked warm food for every meal with a balanced veg diet, unlimited supply of mineral water bottles, hot chai and hot water always, even for bathing at Manasarover:) Above all, the staff - Gopal and his brothers were caring, took care of every detail right from picking up our luggages to loading and unloading each day, carrying our personal bags, making sure they walk with us at every step, checking for our health each day and what not... the boys were simply great that gave us a "warm" experience and a memorable one!!!

The holiest pilgrimages
Om NamashivayaI recently completed Mount Kailash, Manasarovar yatra with Leaf Holidays Treks & Expedition. It was dream come true. I will cherish each and every moment of my yatra for the rest of my life.It is a tough pilgrimage. It was well planned and executed by Gopal and his staff. Right from paperwork, hotel accommodations to everyday meal plan everything is carefully planned. I got support, guidance and help whenever needed. Regular health check is done for the entire group. Staff gave excellent care to those whose oxygen level dropped. Totally impressed with their services. I would like to appreciate Jayshree Patel’s services. She is my contact person in Canada for Kailash Manasarovar yatra. She gave timely guidance and positive confidence to prepare for the yatra. She is humble and down to earth which makes it easy to communicate with her freely. Thank you Gopal, his staff and Jayshree for all the support to fulfill my childhood dream.

His staff was very kind and hardworking. They provided us with hot water and warm delicious food every single day! It was truly a trip to remember!

The Par Excelent Services - Best of the Best People
At the time when we wanted to visit Nepal, we were looking for a tour guide in Nepal. we came across Leaf Holidays and were a bit skeptical about it. We landed in Kathmandu on the 29th of April afternoon, to our surprise, the team of Mr. Gopal Thapa and Tek Prasad were waiting for us at the airport with garlands and a big Van and smiling faces. Now we were sure to have the best time with this team. They had arranged our stay in the best hotels with superfood. During the entire trip of 10 days, they give us the best services. Due to air pollution, our flights were canceled for Pokhran, and without a second thought, they decided to drive us for about 8 hours to Pokhara in the Van. The roads were terrible, but we enjoyed the bumpy ride with good food on the way. The same cancelation happened on our return and they joyfully road-ridden with the team for about 12 hours to Nagarkot from Pokhran. They showed us the most beautiful places and temples to worship. This trip became our Pilgrim trip. Gopalji and Prasadji took us to the best places for shopping and managed to get us real bargains. They ensured we do not spend more than what is worth paying for.At the end of our trip, they dropped us at the airport and it was difficult to say Good Buy, but we said: "will come again". I want to say here, that if anyone is looking to visit Nepal, and wants to enjoy a true hospitality experience, you must use their services.
