I went on a 7-night, 8-day trip to Nepal during the New Year holidays, focusing mainly on trekking.
As it was my first trekking experience, I was searching online for a site that could provide support, and I happened to come across Oooh by chance.
From the planning stage to the return home, it turned out to be a very smooth and comfortable trip, and I am grateful to have come across Oooh's site. Since all parties involved could communicate in a single chat, it was very helpful to quickly conduct meetings and address questions. Given that the planning was done at the last minute and there were only a few airline tickets left, I am thankful for the representative's quick thinking and dedicated efforts, which allowed us to travel safely. I felt that Oooh's system is designed to address even the smallest needs.
The local travel agency you introduced was flawless.
Based on our vague survey content, they efficiently planned the desired elements within the limited schedule at a reasonable price. The Japanese coordinator connected us with the local team, which was very helpful.
After arriving at the destination, it was very reassuring to be able to connect with the travel agency staff via LINE and address minor questions or consultations in real time. The representative of the travel agency had near-native proficiency in Japanese, so there were almost no language-related difficulties.
As rental items for trekking, they provided each person with one set consisting of a 70L duffel bag (likely brand new) and a sleeping bag (clean and freshly laundered). This may be a very rude assumption based on my preconceived image of Nepal, but I did not have high expectations for the rental items. As a result, I was very conflicted before departure about whether to bring my own items, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary. The hotels and lodges they arranged for us were also comfortable and satisfactory.
The trekking guide and porter were around the same age as us (perhaps thanks to the travel company's thoughtful arrangements), and they were very kind, making it enjoyable and comfortable to spend five days together. We are deeply grateful for their assistance.
Before leaving the country, I was prepared for many troubles to arise, but there were hardly any incidents that could be called accidents, and it turned out to be an adventurous trip that pleasantly exceeded my expectations.
During the trip, we were continuously moved by the meticulous care and heartfelt hospitality of the local travel agency. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy an adventurous New Year's trip amidst the majestic scenery of the Himalayas without falling ill, making it a wonderful start to the new year.
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who was involved in this trip.
