Upper Mustang-close to the border region of Tibet, is a great destination to visit with ancient sandy caves. However, you need a special permit to go there.

Recently, we visited Muktinath Temple, which is in the Mustang region. I had booked with Bhanu and he organized our trip perfectly. As Indian, we could have Indian food and sleep in nice hotels with well-attached bathrooms. The weather was so great. We took a holy bath and did puja at the Muktinath Temple.

The best part of my trip was the trip arrangement. Thanks to Bhanu from Nepal Kameleon Holidays, who organized the best tour for us. My wife is feeling so good about the trip. The driver was so humble and respectful. The jeep was comfortable. He was very careful while driving off-road.

Hi Kameleon Holidays. Thank you for your magnificent service to make our trip to Lower Mustang-Muktinath superb. We enjoyed the trip with a wonderful driver, meals, and overnight accommodations. Badri was really an excellent guide, who is cheering and showing us the major highlights of Marpha, Jomsom, Kagbeni, and Muktinath.

I wish you all the best and looking forward to seeing you soon for another trip.

We had a remarkable jeep tour to Muktinath from Pokhara at the end of March. I asked Nepal Kameleon Holidays for the trip arrangement as we were 7 people in a group. The owner of the agency responded very kindly and answered all my questions before the tour. On a tour, we good a good jeep, got nice accommodations with wonderful food. Thank this agency and our contact person Bhanu, who made this trip possible without any confusion.

My family traveled from Pokhara to Muktinath in October. I am so glad that the Nepal Kameleon Holidays made our trip easy. I am 78 years old and was quite worried about the altitude. We stopped at Marpha, which was so great for the next day. My family and I took a bath under 108 taps at Muktinath Temple. Just like us, please be ensured about a professional driver and a nice jeep (which you could get through Kameleon) before heading to Mustang. Highly recommended company.

I booked a 2 day/1 night road trip from Pokhara to Muktinath through Nepal Kameleon Holidays in mid-September. I had a very short time window to complete the trip and, from the beginning, everything that could possibly go wrong did. For starters, my flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara on Day 1 was canceled due to bad weather putting the entire trip in jeopardy. Thankfully Bhanu from Kameleon promptly swung into action, reworked my itinerary, arranged a taxi from Kathmandu to Pokhara at short notice, and, at considerable personal expense, offered to accompany me all the way to Muktinath to ensure I made it there safely. This turned out to be a big blessing as the onward journey from Pokhara was plagued by further delays/disruptions due to bad weather. At one stage after our path was blocked by a landslide, Bhanu suggested that we trek part of the route (12 km), and, using his local contacts, he was able to organize alternative transport from the next settlement. In the end, I was able to complete the trip as planned, allowing me to return to Kathmandu in time for my international connection the following day- this would have been impossible without Bhanu's selfless assistance, real-time awareness of the route/road conditions and local insights and knowledge. This was confirmed by the fact that another group that we met along the way failed to make it to Muktinath on schedule and consequently experienced disruptions to their onward journey plans the following day.

Based on my experience, I would wholeheartedly recommend Kameleon Travels and Bhanu in particular for tours that combine expert, dynamic planning adjusted to changing travel conditions, and value for money with exceptionally friendly and individualized service.

I recently had the pleasure of organizing my trip to Muktinath with Mr. Bhanu, and I must say that he did an outstanding job. From start to finish, he exhibited exceptional professionalism, politeness, and genuine kindness that truly made the experience memorable.

One of the standout qualities of Mr. Bhanu is his willingness to go above and beyond to assist his clients. He went out of his way to ensure that every aspect of our trip was taken care of, and his dedication to our safety was truly commendable. Unlike some organizers who prioritize monetary gains, Mr. Bhanu's main concern was our well-being throughout the journey.

I would also like to give a special mention to Mr. Manoj, the driver who accompanied us from Pokhara to Muktinath. Mr. Manoj proved to be an efficient and skilled driver, maneuvering the extremely rough off-road terrain with ease. Furthermore, he displayed remarkable helpfulness, especially towards my 76-year-old mother. He took exceptional care of her throughout the trip, ensuring her comfort and safety at every step. It was reassuring to have someone like Mr. Manoj by our side, as he went beyond his duties as a driver, accompanying us during the climb and providing assistance in various ways.

Mr. Bhanu lived up to his promise of prioritizing our safety, and I must say that he did it flawlessly. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone planning to visit Muktinath. His exceptional professionalism, genuine concern for his clients, and the incredible support provided by Mr. Manoj make them an unbeatable team. With Mr. Bhanu and his team, you can be confident of a well-organized and safe trip to Muktinath.

Me and my husband managed a tour plan for Muktinath. We initially discussed with Mr. Bhanu about the tour. He managed the tour with all the flights, hotels, permits, and sightseeing. Because of the bank difference, we could not send money, but we had promised and he organized all before our coming. He trusted us, managed our trip, and gave us the best experience of our pilgrimage tour in the Lower Mustang Muktinath region. Madhav Jee was our driver and he is a wonderful man who took us safely in the Himalayas. You can fully trust Nepal Kameleon Holidays for a quality Muktinath Tour.

I wish you all the best and looking forward to seeing you soon for another trip.
