About Me

Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Nepal is a destination that offers breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unforgettable experiences. Known for being the home of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Nepal is a paradise for trekkers, adventure seekers, and those looking to immerse themselves in nature and spirituality. Whether you're seeking thrilling hikes, ancient temples, or serene mountain views, Nepal has it all.

Best Places to Visit in Nepal

  • Kathmandu Valley: Kathmandu, the capital city, is the gateway to Nepal’s cultural treasures. Explore Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and the historic Durbar Square. The valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to some of the most significant and beautiful temples, palaces, and monasteries in the country.
  • Pokhara: A stunning lakeside city, Pokhara offers a tranquil escape with stunning views of the Annapurna Range. You can enjoy boating on Phewa Lake, visit the Peace Pagoda, and explore natural wonders like Devis Falls and the Gupteshwor Cave. It’s also a base for trekking in the Annapurna region.
  • Chitwan National Park: If you’re a wildlife lover, a visit to Chitwan National Park is a must. Here, you can embark on a safari to see Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, and a variety of bird species. The park offers jungle safaris, canoe rides, and elephant-back safaris, making it an unforgettable wildlife experience.
  • Everest Base Camp: For adventure seekers, the trek to Everest Base Camp is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, this trek offers a glimpse into the local Sherpa culture and breathtaking views of Mount Everest.
  • Lumbini: Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, is a sacred site for Buddhists. The peaceful atmosphere, ancient temples, and beautiful gardens make it a perfect destination for spiritual reflection and cultural exploration.

Best Time to Visit Nepal

The best time to visit Nepal is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months when the weather is clear, and the views of the mountains are at their most stunning. These seasons also offer mild temperatures, making them ideal for trekking in the Annapurna and Everest regions. While winter (December to February) can be cold in the mountains, it’s perfect for sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley. Summer (June to August) is the monsoon season, so it’s best to avoid trekking in high-altitude areas due to rain and slippery trails.

Things to Do in Nepal

  • Trekking in the Himalayas – Nepal is a trekking paradise, with famous treks like the Everest Base Camp trek, Annapurna Circuit, and Langtang Valley trek.
  • Visit ancient temples and stupas – Explore Nepal’s rich spiritual history with visits to Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, and Lumbini.
  • Go on a wildlife safari – Experience the diverse wildlife in Chitwan National Park, where you can see tigers, rhinos, and elephants in their natural habitat.
  • Boating on Phewa Lake – Enjoy a serene boat ride on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
  • Cultural exploration – Discover the unique culture and traditions of Nepal by visiting local villages, markets, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
