 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Everest Base Camp trek in the year 2012 with Shri Deepak Khanal of Osho World Adventure.

It was a very good experience to be with Shri Deepakji for this trek. From Kathmandu-Kathmandu, there was nothing to worry if you go with Osho World. You will feel your home in the heart of Himalyan Mountains. The arrangement and planning for the trek was very nice.

I recommend Osho World adventure for anybody who want to wander in the Nepal Himalaya.

I thank once again to Shri Deepak Khanal for his endeavor in taking and guiding many of us to this beautiful world of Nepal Himalaya.

Wish him further success...

 Verified Helambu Trek with a awesome Guide
We booked the Helambu Trek for 6 days. The processing of the booking was straightforward and the people were very nice. The trek is very nice and varied, the accommodations and the food were very good. We got stuck in Kutumsang due to snow and illness. Our guide Ram did everything possible to bring us back safely. Ram was always looked after and did everything in his power. Our guide Ram became our friend. Thank you for everything. We highly recommend Deepak from Osho Adventures and especially our Guide Ram.

 Verified Perfect place for Tailors Tour Packages for Nepal and Tibet
We five friends from USA and India visited Osho World Adventure, Kathmandu last month to get support to organize Kathmandu heritage tour packages followed by Meditation and Transformation Camp in Nepal. Mr. Deepak - the owner of the company himself helped us to tailor our tour packages and helped us to organize mediation camp at Tapoban. They helped us to develop our packages such a way that our tour became the most memorial and blessed one. The team is more meditative, spiritual and very kind and friendly. They treat you humanely. You can trust them confidently. Overall, the perfect tour operator in Nepal, where you get services with more personalized.

 Verified Лучший проводник в Непале!
Знаю руководителя агентства 11 лет. И неизменно сотрудничаю только с ним.Мы обошли всю непальскую часть Гималаев. Это надёжный друг, который находит выход из любой ситуации.В королевстве Мустанг были разные ситуации. Он находит общий язык с местными людьми и благодаря этому качеству Дипака, мы могли проникнуть в таинственные места, куда обычных туристов не пускают. Он поможет вам организовать пуджу, найдёт астролога, организует ведическую свадьбу и полет над Эверестом в комфортабельном вертолёте. Если ваш английский далёк от совершенства - это ваше агентство. Вы сможете обслуживаться на родном русском языке.

 Verified Отличное "русскоговорящее" агенство
Очень внимательный хозяин Диппак. Встретил в аэропорту с венками, проводил с шарфиками:) Все вопросы решались быстро и без "напрягов" с улыбкой и доброжелательностью. Удивлены были такой заботой, учитывая, что мы не были "крупными" клиентами. В любом случае, местный говорящий на русском - это редкость. А если добавить внимательность, то и вообще бесценный контакт:)

 Verified Very nice people and good service
We went shopping for a good travel agency in Thamel and we immediately felt at ease at Osho World Adventures. All the staff is really friendly and genuine. Deepak (the owner) even invited us to celebrate a festival with his family. At Osho's, we booked a chitwan tour and we did a trekking. The trekking (nagarkot, chisopani, dhulikhel and namo buddha) was very nice! We stayed at nice hotels and all the meals were included (you can choose from the menu). The guide (Raj) was very friendly and explained a lot about the daily life in Nepal and about the festivals. He also knew a lot about wildlife and took good care of his customers. We always felt very safe. The Chitwan tour was also very nice. Osho provided busseats and arranged the hotel with sightseeings. Hotel Jungle sunset Camp is situated next to the river and next to the olifant bathing. We even saw rhinos from our hotel! We would fully recommend Osho to others who would like to have a good service for a reasonable price and very friendly staff.

 Verified Excellente Leistungen
Ich und meine Freundin haben uns unsere Nepalreise (Manaslu Trek + Chitwan Np) durch Osho organisieren gelassen. Die Pläne wurden mit zeitlichem Vorsprung abgesprochen, damit wir nicht viel Zeit in Kathmandu verlieren mussten. Letzendlich hat alles wunderbar geklappt und die gesamte Reise erfolgte dann problemlos. Herr Deepak ist sehr flexible und man kann seinen Uralub wirklich individuell gestalten. Fazit: 100% Empfehlung.

 Verified A good choice for your trip in Nepal
The travel agency's master is very talkative. He will plan your travel immediately and give you advice properly. Not only forehead but also proceed and after about your trip provide you good service.老闆是個非常健談的人。他會依照你所希望的旅遊行程作立即性的規劃，也會給予適當的行程建議。不管是行程前、旅途中或售後服務都很不錯。但希望機場接送的時間安排上可更充足些。
