Amazing time with Rajan to ABC base camp. Rajan is a porter and guide in 1. Spoke great english. I booked through Iconic Holidays Nepal with a bit of uneasiness as I found them on instagram and didn't know if they were a legit company, but thankfully they were! I met Upendra Dawadi who is the owner of this company, met him in Thamel and he sorted out all the permits, trekking gear and sleeping bag for me. I had a great time doing ABC. I did it in 7 days which was a bit faster but I wanted to move quicker as a solo traveller and Rajan (guide) accommodated it for me.
The jeep ride to Jinhu was quite exciting but bumpy, so take your motion sickness pills if you need.There's LOTS of stairs for this hike. Having Rajan was great who helped me carry my bags, guided me through the different villages and helped organise accommodation and food. I went from Jhinu to Chommrong. Chommrong > Dovan. Dovan to MBC. MBC to ABC
He carried with him an oxygen meter to made sure I was ok. I did have some headaches at the MBC/ABC camps but survived without Diamox. Overall amazing experience, I’m glad I had a guide and porter who helped me everything. Also had amazing weather when going in mid Nov.

Our recent trip to Nepal covering Ghandruk, Pokhara, Jomsom and Mukti Nath became truly unforgettable, thanks to Iconic Holiday, owned by Upendra. From the very beginning until the end of our journey, Upendra ensured everything was perfectly organised. He helped us plan the trip day-by-day, patiently discussing every detail. The hotels and stays he booked were absolutely scenic, comfortable, and offered breathtaking views. The food arrangements were excellent throughout the journey, and the vehicle provided for our travel across Nepal, Pokhara, and Jomsom was clean, reliable, and made the long drives very smooth. Upendra was always available, ensured our comfort, and took care of every need. His planning, coordination, and professionalism made our experience truly seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Iconic Holiday to anyone planning a trip to Nepal. If you are visiting Pokhara, Ghandruk, or Jomsom, Mukti Nath definitely get in touch with Upendra—he will plan a far better and more memorable stay than you can imagine.

Upendra has been a wonderful host and guide on the entire tour, be it suggesting the right places to visit based on our interests or taking care of taxi bookings or helping with shopping. He was there always, smiling, in his usual self. He ensured we had guides everywhere we went, stopped at good, clean spaces for refreshments and breaks. When we had a situation where the cable car operator couldn't provide us drop for our return to the hotel, Upendra booked alternate taxis for us. He also made sure, we had easy access to all the places, often reducing the walking trails. Being flexible, he changed hotels, flight timings to accommodate our requests. On the final day, he took us on a walk to Durbar square and asan Bazaar, unhurried and giving us time to shop. And when we were leaving, he was there again to say Goodbye. Special mention about Rajan, the guide who was so cool and calm in all situations. Thank you Upendra for a memorable holiday in Nepal.

Upendra professionally organised a 16 day visit with a 12 day trek in Bhutan, along the Snowman Trail from Paro to the Royal Mountain Festival in Laya. We had an excellent time! For 2 of us, we had 4 staff, 9 horses, 4 tents and excellent hot food 3 times a day. We even bumped into the Bhutanese Prime Minister, and saw the King, at the Royal Festival

The food and all amenities are far beyond expectation. Kuddos to Iconic Holiday Nepal. A trustable and realiable trekking agency.

I had an amazing experience with Iconic Holiday Nepal! From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful in planning every detail of my trip. They really listened to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and created a customised itinerary that perfectly suited my interests and budget. Everything ran smoothly—from the flights and accommodations to the guided tours and transfers. I especially appreciated the personal touches and quick support throughout the journey. It made my vacation stress-free and truly enjoyable.
Highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-organised, hassle-free, and memorable travel experience. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

He was so kind & supported very well.
Drive his car and everything is smooth.
if have chance to go to Nepal, I'd like to ask him! Thank you so so much.

We did Manaslu Circuit Trek with Iconic Nepal and it was very well curated plan by Upendra. He provided very professional and friendly guide and porter. They both took good care of us. We had a chance to meet his family and spend some time with them which was really nice. Overall I would say this is the best and reasonable company to do treks in Nepal.
