    Hazzlefree organisation

    Anjan was our focal point in Nepal regarding our transportation. He organised the jeep from Kathmandu to Phaplu and was always available via WhatsApp. We had to change our plans because of the weather and reorganising our return was never a problem for Anjan. We also spent 3 days in Kathmandu upon our return and Anjan was, as usual, really helpful and patient in booking our hotel, transportation and what to visit in busy Kathmandu. I can only recommend Aspiration Adventure (Anjan) for any hazzlefree trek in Nepal. We will definitely be back to explore this beautiful country.

    All in One Travel Service - Phaplu Flight and Jeep

    We booked a flight to phaplu through aspiration adventure, knowing we can booked directly with airlines but choose a local company as it would be easy to know sudden change in flight and make the cancellation or refund process flexible. company looked after the schedule flight twice a weeek, provide us a date and booked us a bothway flight from kathmandu to phaplu and back but on the way back airlines cancel the flight and divert the flight to ramechhap, fligtht from kathmandu was stop but aspiration adventure arranged us a private transportation back to kathmandu at the last minute which was great service. Thank you and We can recommend this company during your visit in Nepal.
