Some of the Glimpse of the Mountain Tour in Nepal

Mountain Flight and Global Warming

Glaciers in the Mount Everest region & other Himalayan regions have shrunk by 13 percent in the last 50 years and the snowline has shifted upward by 590 feet (180 meters). Mount Everest is one of the great pieces of evidence for the impact of global warming on the world. Mountains of the world are slowly losing their snowcapped peaks and are changing into black rocks. Nobody can assure you how long this beauty of the mountain will remain. So if you say that you will fly a Mountain flight on your next visit, then you may not get a similar beautiful snow-capped mountain region like today. So let's fly a mountain flight today and spread the message of global warming and our melting Himalayas to the world community. Let's start a campaign to save our Earth for the next generation. Save our Earth for the forthcoming generation.

My prime agency for all the tickets. Every staff are cheerful and will cater to your needs perfectly. I recommend contacting through viber or whatsapp though if you dont have the time or energy to visit the site.

Sandesh Joshi

The Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara tour package exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well-planned, covering key attractions in each location.

Kathmandu offered a cultural immersion with its ancient temples and vibrant markets. The guided tours were informative, and the free time allowed for personal exploration.

Chitwan's wildlife experience was a highlight. The jungle safari provided opportunities to spot diverse fauna, and the overall stay was comfortable.

In Pokhara, the serene lakes and stunning mountain views created a tranquil atmosphere. The optional activities, such as boating on Phewa Lake and visiting the World Peace Pagoda, added value.

Accommodations were satisfactory, and transportation between locations was efficient. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful throughout.

Overall, the tour provided a well-rounded experience of Nepal's diverse landscapes and cultures. I recommend for those seeking a balanced mix of adventure and cultural exploration.

Booked a Hotel in New Delhi, India. It was my first time visiting New Delhi and without any concrete knowledge about the logging and traveling ideas, I visited Speedy Tourism's office and I couldn't be much more happier that I did. The staffs were very responsive and helpful, tried to clear my doubts and answered all my questions before mentioning any business to them. The hotel in New Delhi is also very good, Nepali owned so it was a excellent experience.
