Il campo base del Makalù mi ha dato, da un lato le solite stupende emozioni della solitudine invernale nelle terre alte himalayane . D’altro canto è stato tutto più difficile del solito per la mancanza di appoggi in dicembre, per qualche Nepalese che ormai ha preso i nostri più brutti difetti rispetto al denaro e per un clima davvero anomalo. Non mi era mai capitato di prendere così tanta pioggia, neve ed umidità in dicembre…
Il tempo avanzato lo ho speso nell’alta valle dell’arun, completamente fuori dai circuiti turistici e quindi molto vicino alla gente, alla cultura etc.
Quando torno a Katmandù invece mi ritrovo con la solita estrema professionalità e onestà di Khem, che non verrà mai corrotto dalle nostre cattive abitudini e comportamenti.
Sono ormai oltre 10 anni di rapporto e non si tratta più di un agenzia di fiducia, ma di un amico,
che mi ha fatto entrare in casa, a contatto con tutta la famiglia.
A volte è difficile capire cosa passa nella testa di Khem, ma il lungo rapporto ha sciolto anche qualche difficoltà di comunicazione.
Mi sono reso conto che devi sempre provare a chiedere, perché a volte i risultati sono inattesi.
In determinate materie, Khem non ti potrà aiutare, ma quando meno te lo aspetti, invece, scopri che i suoi contatti ti possono risolvere anche le richieste più strane.
Le sue attività di volontariato ed aiuto a chi ne ha bisogno, spaziano dall’associazione per bambini disabili ai campi di rifugiati tibetani, dalle fabbriche di tappeti tibetani a quelle delle pashmine bellissime e fatte senza sfruttamento etc….
Questa volta non riuscivo a trovare una singingbowl di grandi dimensioni che fosse bella, buona come sonorità e non troppo cara. Nel posto che conoscevo, a swauyambunath, erano molto belle e di bella sonorità, ma il prezzo era decisamente fuori portata. Khem mi ha accompagnato invece in un negozietto vicino a durbarisquare dove ho trovato esattamente quel che cercavo!
Ciao, and the second one (f.angeli@provincia.tn.it)

Hi Khem,
Thank you so much for the great experience I had this summer (2013). It was my first time in Nepal and I can't imagine a better travel agent to help me with my trip.
For me it was very important your management and organitzation of all the stages of the trip, from staying in Kathmandú to the trekking experience around the Mustang Kingdom. As I said, it was the first time I was there and your help was the best part for my quietness and safety.
You and your team also solved any problem we found on the way with efficiency and professionalism.
Again, thank you so much for the amazing time I had in Nepal. I recomend Scenic Adventure to anyone who wants to live the experience that is this little country.

"There are experiences that remain in your memories and senses, and our trip to Nepal with Scenic Adventures is one of them. Their exquisite and delicate handling and their attention to details makes them special. We'll never forget his reception in Kathmandu, when Khem, after greeting us with a Namaste, gave us a natural flowers necklace or the adventures that we lived across Annapurna with Sabin and Rajendra. And best part is that, besides the experience, we got some good friends. Definitely, highly recommended. We'll come back."

Hola Khem R. Niroula (Agencia de Viajes SCENIC ADVENTURE):
Hemos sabido que participarás en la Feria Internacional de Turismo de Madrid, FITUR -2014.
Queria comentar que utilizamos tus servicios en nuestro viaje a Nepal y quedamos gratamente satisfechos con tu trato y tu profesionalidad.
Todo estuvo muy bien y los problemas que surgieron (siempre surgen problemas en un viaje), los solucionaste con mucha profesionalidad, lo cual agradezco profundamente.
Siempre recomendaremos vuestros servicios a nuestras amistades que quieran visitar Nepal.
How are things??? I hope everything is ok at your end.
I only found out today that your are going to be part of the Fitur 2014 event in Madrid, Patricia told me. I'd like to congratulate you for taking part of it and want to wish you good luck for that. I'm sure you'll do great
"I can't really describe the feeling of seeing a sunrise in the Annapurnas in Nepal. That was probably the most amazing experience I've ever lived. And that was thanks to Khem and his team from Scenic Adventure who made it possible. The staff where incredibly friendly, very fit and always helpful, no matter how tired everyone was. After having done that trekking with them, I realised that you don't see the genuine Nepal unless you do a trekking. There are different levels according to everyone's fitness. Kathmandu is nice, but the Annapurnas and the little villages are amazing. Do it and you will never regret. I can't wait to go back there..." Oriol Aixala [oriol.aixala@hotmail.com], Perth Australia
En el año 2003, visite con un grupo familiar India y Nepal, pasando la mayor parte del viaje en Nepal.Era la primera vez que visitaba este ultimo país.
Fue un viaje totalmente diferente a cualquier otro realizado anteriormente, debido en gran parte al gran atractivo que tiene Nepal,a las rutas alternativas, la mayor parte de las veces alejadas de los itinerarios convencionales y que permitieron conocer a fondo la bondad de sus habitantes y aunque mínimamente la religión budista.
Todo ello no hubiera sido posible ,sin la inestimable y abnegada ayuda en todo momento de nuestro guía Khem R.Niroula, al que deseo los mejores éxitos profesionales en su proyecto de Scenic Adventure.
Probablemente es el mejor viaje que he realizado y en gran parte debido a la gran calidad humana y profesionalidad de Khen.
Some time ago I had the pleasure to spend my summer holidays on a family trip in Nepal. We were recommended Khem of Scenic Adventure to organize our two-week stage at that wonderful country. Thanks to him, we were able to know Nepal from a local perspective and to appreciate its huge cultural and natural heritage. At every moment he stayed with us and was a kind and helpful guide, always giving answer to the several demmands of a huge familiar group of 30 people. I have great memories of that trip, and I wish I can someday go back to Nepal! Great job, Khem!!
I'm glad to hear that you are coming to Madrir to Fitur 2014. I have remembered that great days in Nepal with you. That was such an experience!! Thank you very much for showing us your beautiful country, but, above all, for your kindness and good organization.
I wish I could come back again someday to Nepal and we could travel with you one more time. Awesome experience!!!!
Grácias a Scenic Adventures Travel, pudimos realizar nuestro viaje al Tíbet. Gestionaron los visados ( cosa que había sido imposible por libre), cambiaron los vuelos y consiguieron que nuestras vacaciones fueran una experiencia inoblidable.
Thanks to Scenic Travel Adventures, our trip to Tibet becomes true and a great expirience!!
They handle our visas, we tryed to do ourselfs and was impossible, changed our flight and thanks him our holiday experience becomes a fantastic trip!!
Thanks again

A few years ago I visited Nepal anb Tibet and I was lucky to have your service there.
Great person, great service and great time there.
I hope to visit again Nepal and also Tibet and it is very probably I will contact you to do it again.
Thank you again for your company and have a nice time in Madrid.
Khem, ich möchte mich ganz herzlich bei Dir für die tolle Unterstützung bedanken , die Du und Dein Team uns gegeben hast. Scenic Adventure hat unsere Reise nach Nepal
zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Es gibt keine bessere Art, um das Land und die Leute kennen zu lernen.
Wir werden uns bald wiedersehen, da die nächste Reise nach Nepal schon geplant ist.
Again I have to thank you for all the efforts that you (and your team) offered me in my last travel to Nepal.
Choosing Scenic Adventure when we decided to travel to Nepal was one of our best ideas as everything was perfect since we have contacted Khem. Once we have explained our needs, he occupied with the rest and
the result was a stunning trekking, and a trip we will never forget.
But if I have to highlight something is the great humane treatment and professionalism of Khem R. Niroula.
Sincerely, I recommend Scenic Adventure, if someone wants to enjoy 100% of the people and the wonderful country that is Nepal.
A I will return very soon to Nepal , we will meet again without any doubt...!
Tengo que agradecerte lo que tu (y tu equipo) me ofreciste en el pasado viaje a Nepal.
Todo fue perfecto con Scenic Adventure, desde el momento que nacio la idea y contactamos con Khem. Les transmitimos nuestras necesidades e inquietudes y el se encargo del resto.
El resultado fue un trekking impresionante, y un viaje para el recuerdo.
Pero si algo tengo que resaltar es el gran trato humano y profesionalidad de Khem R. Niroula.
Recomiendo a Scenic Adventure, si lo que se quiere es disfrutar al 100% de la gente y del país maravilloso que es Nepal.
Ahora que me planteo regresar a Nepal, seguro que dentro de poco nos volveremos a ver !!!
Hace ya 24 años que conocimos a Khem, cuando empezaba a trabajar con una pequeña oficina desde donde hacer llamadas telefonicas internacionales. Pocos años despues ya tenia tambien internet y posteriormente empezo ademas como agencia de viajes.
En 24 años hemos estado 13 veces en Nepal, y siempre nos ha ayudado en todo.Varias de esas veces hemos ido con un grupo de amigos o de familiares, y siempre ha acabado siendo el quien nos ha organizado todo lo que hemos querido hacer: turismo de ciudad, de montaña, trekking, selva, Tíbet, conexion con India, transporte publico y privado por carretera, camino, sendero... Siempre segun nuestros deseos, abierto a los cambios de planes de una hora para la siguiente: cambiar las fechas, parar donde no estaba previsto, seguir hasta donde no habiamos ni imaginado, dividir el grupo en 2 grupos que hacen 2 cosas diferentes... Siempre ha encontrado la manera mas facil y rapida de ajustarse a los cambios de planes. Nunca hemos oido un no por respuesta, siempre una alternativa si nuestra idea no era demasiado recomendable.
Siempre al precio mas ajustado, con guias expertos y siempre amables, en las mejores ubicaciones y alojamientos posibles.
Lo hemos recomendado a un monton de amigos a los que tambien ha ayudado a disfrutar mas de sus vacaciones y nunca nadie ha vuelto decepcionado.
Incluso algunos que ya creian tener su viaje a Nepal y Tíbet bien organizado por internet a traves de otras agencias han acabado requiriendo sus servicios para poder arreglar los problemas.
Khem y todos los que trabajan con el son gente de absoluta confianza, siempre amables y buenos conocedores de su pais y su profesion, saben organizar sin imponer su criterio por encima de los deseos del visitante.
Absolutamente recomendable!!!
