Highly recommended
We got so incredibly lucky finding this agency, which helped us picking out the perfect Himalayan trek according to our desires. We ended up doing the Manaslu circuit trek around late November and absolutely loved it. Several other hikers complimented us about our guide, amongst others because he was smiling so much. He was very knowledgeable – we really put him to the test since we had a lot of questions. Altogether we owe High Asia Tours a big thank you because no effort was too much for them to meet our needs and make this journey an unforgettable experience.
Great tour operator DMC for Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan
I prefer to hire a tour operator who lives in the area I am visiting, who has the knowledge of what makes a unique itinerary, who personally knows the guides, who has experience with the nuances of hotel stays, and who understand the preferences of their clients, which can differ from travelers from other parts of the world etc. Dev and his team at High Asia Tours were a perfect match for me…
Highly recommend High Asia Tours
Dev from High Asia Tours is the man. We used High Asia Tours for our journey to India, Bhutan, and Nepal. Dev’s communication was superb regardless of the time zone change. He worked with us from the beginning and was very flexible with the changes we made along the way. Dev was very informative and kept us abreast regarding specific excursions we had in mind. It was a flawless procedure from start to finish. Set us up with great guides on each country we visited. He met us in Katmandu, had coffee with us as well as a drink the night before we left for the U.S.A. I highly recommend Dev and High Asia Tours as your go to for your next trip.

I can’t say enough positive things about High Asia Tours. I started working on my itinerary with Dev more than a year before our tour started. He was extremely responsive and
accommodating with all of my requests!
We toured India, Bhutan and Nepal. He helped me pick out the perfect hotels to fit my budget and every guide along the way was extremely knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make my tour epic! The transportation was also comfortable with safe drivers at every country. Choosing a local tour company is always the best choice and I can assure you that Dev and High Asia Tours will not disappoint you for your SE Asia holiday! Thank you Dev!!! You made my dreams come true!
Fantastic experience!

Nepal and Bhutan with High Asia Tours
My trip to Nepal (3 weeks) and Bhutan (1 week) with High Asia Tours was a wonderful experience thanks to an efficient organization, excellent guides, good choice of restaurants and hotels and an exceptional service from Dev from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed meeting locals, witnessing pujas, festivals, and the grandeur of the Himalayas. Yolanda from Canada
A pleasant trip to Lo Manthang, Pokhara, Kathmandu and Chitwan National Park
Highly recommend the company HIGH ASIA TOURS with the punctuality of all organization of our (group of 13 tourists) trip to Upper Mustang, Pokhara, Kathmandu and Chitwan National Park ! The Boss Dev and guide Balmiki took care of everyone of us from the first till the last second in Nepal.
Thank you!

Amazing 2 week tour!
My wife and I went on our honeymoon in Nepal. It was setup by Dev and his team. We went on a 2 week tour of Nepal and we came back in love with the country. Our local guide, Valmiki, was paramount to our enjoyment of the country. We went to 5 different locations. Flights, cars, hotels, tours, everything was organized with Swiss precision. If you’ve been to Nepal, you’ll know that it is an unbelievable feat in itself. Our guide was able to adjust our itinerary when we needed more rest, more activities, or when we wanted to move on from one location early. Fantastic. High Asia Tours made our trip to Nepal a dream. Thanks Dev and Valmiki (Miki)!
Kingdom of Mustang
If you can take only one trip this year, make it to Mustang, formerly the Kingdom of Mustang, on the Nepal-Tibet border. The road to Lo Mantang, the capital, is a pretty rough, mostly single track dirt road, built in the last decade, that winds through eerie geological formations, mountains and dry river beds that one would expect to see in Utah or Arizona. The small towns reveal Tibetan culture, agricultural methods and ancient monasteries as they must have been in Tibet before the Chinese invasion and occupation. People are gracious and welcoming and tourists very scarce. Get there before it changes: it was featured in National Geographic in the December 2022 issue.
This was my second trip with Dev and High Asia and everything was perfect: excellent driver and compassionate guide, both incredibly knowledgeable about every nook and cranny of the countryside, every Buddhist gompa and cave, the birds and wildfire and where to stop for the best dah bhat! 5 stars plus!
Jane Fortmann
From the minute the first email csme in from Dave in response to an enquiry I had sent High Asia Tours I knew I had got lucky. Dave very quickly organised me an amazing itinerary which ticked off all the right items, the best part of which was the trekking. Everything was attended to with precision and care and I didn’t have to worry about a thing for the whole trip.
Valmiki in Kathmandu was fabulous and very knowledgeable, Dhiran and Sudip on the trails were amazing: knowledgeable, interesting and lots of fun. I had the best time and know that High Asia Tours and I will be crossing paths…

I had the privilege of experiencing an unforgettable journey through Bhutan with Highssia Tour – from the hassle-free organisation and the prompt delivery of my visa right through to the trip itself.
Guide Kunza, with his vast knowledge of history, culture and Bhutan itself, and driver Ugay, who navigated the sometimes very narrow mountain roads through the wonderful landscapes with stoic calm, made the trip perfect by adding additional points of interest…

My wife and I recently completed the Manaslu Circuit with High Asia Tours and couldn’t be happier with how it went. It was our second trek with them after Everest Base Camp in 2022. From the first email to the final airport drop-off, everything was smooth, friendly and professional. Our guide, Dhiren, was brilliant: experienced, calm and fun to spend time with. He set a comfortable pace, kept an eye on our health and always explained what was coming up, so we could just enjoy the trail. Our porter was also fantastic and somehow always smiling, even on the long, tough days. The itinerary felt…

A self-organized 40-day trip to Nepal, Upper Mustang, Tibet and Bhutan, realized with the invaluable help of Dev Nepal, his company – High Asia Tours, his highly supportive team and his partners in Tibet and Bhutan.
I highly recommend this erudite, highly motivated, organized, responsible and correct person from Nepal, without whom this long, complex and diverse in terms of events and many visited places trip would not have been possible.
Dev Nepal and his company – High Asia Tours fulfilled every element of our contract, giving his best and meeting all the travel requirements that I had…

Saar hanfi
I really want to thank High Asia for the most amazing trip! From the moment we came into the office we felt welcome and reassured that all our needs would be met. Together we went over different trekking options and eventually opted for the Manaslu Circuit trek. We decided fairly last minute and thought we might have to wait a while to find the right guide. But they did everything to arrange all the different permits and the best guide we could’ve wished for in such a short time that we could still leave before the weather would’ve become too cold.
Our guide Dhiren was so unbelievably…

A bespoke tour of Bhutan ( 8 nights ) and Nepal (22 nights ) was arranged by Dev of High Asia Tours. After many emails, with advice and guidance from Dev, he arranged an itinerary which encompassed everything I wanted to see and do. The resultant extremely well organised trip was wonderful – everything I wanted and more!
My guide in Bhutan, Rinzin, was excellent – professional, knowledgeable, very friendly and went out of his way to ensure that I saw all I wanted to. I must also mention my driver ,Pema. He was a very careful driver, having to negotiating the mountainous and sometimes very…

I am not easy to please and do not like writing reviews. However, when I see excellence, I like to share it with my fellow travelers. Selecting the right tour organization to organize my tours is critical for me. High Asia Tours was highly recommended by a friend of mine who had traveled with them multiple times before. I traveled to Bhutan and Nepal for two weeks during March 2024. Dev worked with me to plan my itinerary. I truly enjoyed the trip and the guides I had various locations. They spoke good English, were very knowledgeable and went way out of their way to ensure a great journey…
Joyce, Choy Tze Lee
I have known Dev and High Asia Tours for almost 16 years now, since my first trip of Annapurna Circuit with them in 2008. Through the years I have engaged Dev in a few other trips (Everest Base Camp + Gokyo Lake hikes), including the recent one to Bhutan in early January 2024. Dev always deliver good service, and he does it over and above. I will always get a speedy response from him whenever I have any questions or requests. The trips were planned and delivered according to my wish, and I was never disappointed. I now call Dev a friend and whenever I have friends asking for a reliable tour…
Mary Wickler Peterson
We recently did the Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nepal. We used Dev with High Asia Tours to set up our trip. Dev did an excellent job of fulfilling our requests in regard to a guide and porters as well as listening to our wishes as he planned our itinerary. I would definitely recommend High Asia Tours.

It was such a wonderful experience in Nepal if it not for Dev from High Asia Tours, as it was last minute decision to travel. We received our itinerary within half an hour as our journey was the next day. Our itinerary covered all our request with a perfect mix of tourist and spiritual destinations. From the day of arrival to the day of departure for 10 days, everything went well without any hiccups. Dev was in constant touch on the progress of the tour. The two inland flights, land transport and accommodation were superb 👌. Thanks to Dev, Ram,…

My husband and I took an incredible trip to Upper Mustang in March 2023. Dev is an absolute professional. The organisation by him and his team was brilliant from the start – they helped us plan a bespoke itinerary and everything was well organised to make our plans work seamlessly.
Travelling in remote Nepal just before the start of the season meant that not everything went perfectly to plan, as we had to negotiate weather and the occasional blocked road, but our guide Valmicki (Micki) and driver Carna were wonderful throughout, and we were able to adjust plans as we went if we wanted to…

It was thanks to Dev, the company owner, that I was able to discover the magnificent country of Nepal on a private tour. This tour was very comprehensive and included everything there was to see, from authentic experiences to must-see tourist attractions. While I didn’t meet all the guides in the country, I’m convinced that Dev is among the best in Nepal. He is very knowledgeable and will share his country’s wisdom with you. You’ll also be surprised at how well he knows everyone! Yes, really! No matter what you ask for or…

So easy to work with, really listened well to our needs and ideas for our trip then came up with some super solutions. Bad weather meant our domestic flights changed multiple times, but High Asia managed the subsequent hotel etc changes brilliantly. Friendly, professional, flexible and trustworthy!

Hi Asia Tours booked our trip to Pokhara and it was very well organised. They chose the right hotel and gave us all the right advice. The staff is extremely professional and friendly – so if you book through them, you can be sure to have a good trip! Thank you!
Debbie Edgar
We travelled to Nepal and Bhutan for 15 days with High Asia Tours and cannot recommend them highly enough, from our first enquiry email, to the end of our Tour. Dave responded to all emails exceptionally quickly and was flexible when we asked for some amendments to our trip. The guides and hotels were of a very high standard and the itinerary was varied and fabulous. We plan to return for a trekking holiday in Nepal and will definitely be using High Asia Tours again.
Reem Jaberi
What a wonderful trip arranged by Dave and High Asia Tours.
My husband and I fell in love with every detail of our impeccable trip to Bhutan. Everything from pick up in Kathmandu to all the other details in beautiful Bhutan was above standard. Dave always ensures to accommodate his clients to ensure to meet their needs. Excellent service and attention to details. Thank you Dave for everything. We shall continue booking with you again in the future.

High Asia Tours organised our second trek in Nepal along the Langtang Valley. Dave and his team are truly excellent and everything was thought of, including helpful medicine while trekking at altitude and a very nice hotel to stay in in Kathmandu. High Asia Tours is highly recommended.
Dennis Roy
Just had a private tour great adventure to Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. The complexities of visas and permits was all taken care of by High Asia Tours. All tour guides showed up on time and were timely in pick ups. There was also flexibility, which is key when traveling from so far away with some of the lowest sea-levels! I would highly recommend without hesitation High Asia Tours for your trip to the Himalayas.

Our month long trip spanned 5 countries – China, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India. All our (private) tours in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India were organised by Dave, owner of High Asia Tours and organiser of our trip. We only have superlatives to describe the service we received from High Asia Tours.
Dave created a wonderful itinerary, gave advice when needed, was very patient (we exchanged over a hundred emails to come up with the perfect itinerary) and his response with emails was always prompt and timely. I’ve never had to follow up on a query once. This amazing service is coupled with…
Debbie Hammond
High Asia tours were very professional and organised booking our tour through Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. We had a few hiccups at the beginning with our flight to Bhutan as the final email with all our travel documents including the Bhutan visa weren’t received. It was sorted the same day and lucky for us there was another flight to Bhutan that afternoon.
Bhutan was a beautiful country along with the people and the culture. If planning on travelling to three countries as a group I would finish in Bhutan
We did Bhutan, Nepal, then Tibet. I would recommend getting your Nepal visa before you leave…

I was the unfortunate one who stuck in Lukla airport because of the cloudy weather. Only the first flight can fly on that day. Waiting in the airport was never a pleasant experience. It was freezing in the airport. You have nothing to doing but wait and hoping for the sky can be a bit clearer. Eventually, the airport announced that there would be no flight flying from Kathmandu. The worst of all was the cloudy weather may persist for a few more days.
Dave’s staff managed to put me in a heli ride back to Kathmandu in the afternoon on the same day. I top up only around US$100 for the heli ride…
Mike Eisman
We booked our tour of China (Chengdu and Tibet), Nepal, and Bhutan with High Asia. The company prepared an itinerary based on our input, a customized private tour. The company arranged the flights other than our flight from the U.S., they arranged for English speaking guides that were absolutely excellent. Dave from High Asia was very responsive to all our questions and concerns before and during the trip and the price of our tour was very reasonable. I highly recommend High Asia for visiting China, Nepal, and Bhutan.

High Asia Tours is a very professional travel agency based in Kathmandu.
Had been with them 2 times, going to Annapurna and recently Solokhumbu.

They can tailor your visit and activities according to the time you have for your holidays and their recommendations and suggestions are very helpful to plan your trip.
You can choose low, medium or high budget, according to your needs and pocket.
