Experience your Dream Adventure with Shepherd Holidays
Our Story
Shepherd Holidays Pvt Ltd, trading under the esteemed banner of Shepherd Holidays, is a trailblazing travel enterprise situated in the heart of Nepal, Kathmandu. Founded in 2019 by the enterprising entrepreneur, Januka & Bikash, and an experienced team with almost 18 years of industry knowledge (of founders), Shepherd Holidays has rapidly established itself as a leading name in the realm of travel and adventure.
Our Expeditionary Vision

Navigating the Pandemic Storm
In the early days of Shepherd Holidays, our journey was met with an unexpected obstacle as the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc worldwide. We bore the brunt of this storm with grace, albeit not without challenges. Sixty-seven bookings were canceled, and operations had to be halted for a year, resulting in substantial losses. However, our unwavering faith in our efforts and a positive attitude propelled us forward. Despite the economic downturn in the tourism sector, our dedicated team continues to sprint ahead, heralding the arrival of brighter days.
The Challenge of the Digital Era
In an era where tourism trends have shifted towards e-commerce, where travel experiences are compared like everyday consumer goods, Shepherd Holidays strives to stand apart. We understand that the tourism industry cannot be reduced to mere features and pricing. Factors such as accommodation, field staff quality, vehicle conditions, additional amenities, and time spent at each destination significantly influence the overall experience. For instance, a Kathmandu sightseeing tour can be a brief four-hour journey or an immersive adventure lasting several days.
Despite of limited resources in the market we have gained precious goodwill and a loyal client base, driven by referrals and repeated visits.

I spent very exciting unforgettable days in the Everest region in Nepal. I used to dream to see this highest peak of the world and now I captured it in my lens and my memories. My guide arranged everything and helped me a lot and never let me feel tired and boring. I have read about the Mustang region and am willing to go there with this company again. I like to make a strong recommendation.
My travel to Kathmandu became perfect with a very comfortable stay in Kathmandu. Very happy to stay there, owner are very friendly. I found them always dedicated in helping and willing me to enjoy my every moments. The room tariff was affordable. No compromise has been made over there. I strongly recommend you Shepherd Holidays for your exciting holiday trips.
The guide Mr Deepak was very helpful whenever required and also its very easy to communicate with staffs of Shepherd Holidays! Trip was really amazing and full of fun!
Chandragiri Cable Car in Nepal was a great trip, unforgettable experience of cable car ridding, what a view, commendable mountains and magnificent surroundings, typical fast foods, a clean and beautiful temple, everything is excellent and perfect place to spend a good day.
I have a hard time spending a week in my office. However, 16 days with you guys was gone at a glance. I'll always cherish those moments with you guys. Manaslu was very different than what I thought it to be. A different world, far away from city life and the amazing rural life. Nepal truly is heaven. All the kindness, loyalty and amazing service that you guys gave, you guys definitely are one of a kind. Shepherd Holidays - Thank you for being my Shepherd through out the trip. I am definitely coming back again with my friends.
We took this Nagarkot trip after coming back from Chitwan and Pokhara visit. The hike was awesome and the sunrise view over the snow capped mountains was breathtaking. The guide was informative and friendly, we enjoyed a lot.
Got to see a Royal Bengal Tiger while in Chitwan - must consider myself lucky. Pokhara is such a beautiful city and the nightlife besides the Phewa Lake, that was just wow. Amazing service and amazing hospitality by Shepherd Holidays. Thank you for making our trip amazing.
Our visit to Kathmandu, Lumbini, Chitwan and Pokhara was really cool as we had heard of it. All ground staffs including driver and guide of Shepherd Holidays are helpful and informative. This small country is perfectly decorated by natural and cultural heritages. Wish to catch you guys again in Next Sep.
Annapurna Base Camp trek was the first trek of my life. I didn't have the slightest idea about how my trek would be. However, I had a lot of expectations through the photos and videos that I had surfed through the Internet. Shepherd Holidays and their team were truly very professional from the very start of the trip. From Hotel Arrangements to providing us with an amazing guide, they did an amazing work. The scenery and waterfalls through out the trail was just amazing. After reaching the Base Camp, mighty Annapurna standing tall in front of us, that was just mind blowing. Surprisingly, higher than my expectations, it was 1000 times much better than what I saw in photos. This was the most unforgettable memory of my life. Thank you Shepherd Holidays for bringing such an amazing experience.
The view from the Base Camp was absolutely breathtaking. I was most fascinated by Mt. Macchapuchre. Sunrise from that point was just amazing. Few of my friends only reached upto the second view point. They really missed out a lot. I however managed to reach Mardi Base Camp. I am glad that my guide motivated me to reach till the top. Mr Prashan was also very efficient in managing all the reservations and plans through out the trip. Even the porters were so friendly and kind. A Definite 5-star. Shepherd Holidays - Thank you for your amazing hospitality.
First thing first, we spotted a Red Panda near the Ghoda Tabela forest along the trail. We must have been very lucky, that we got to see this beautiful endangered species. And not just a glimpse, we were even able to capture certain pictures. I'd like to thank Shepherd Holidays for providing the most amazing guide in the world. Nishan was not just a very professional guide, but he was one of the most friendliest person. Thanks for taking so much care and managing all the necessary things required through out the trip. You guys are a true professional. Cheers!
This was my first sentence on google about Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty! then i knew it is not difficulty as people think it. I had doubt untill i reach Kalapathhar wheather i could do it or not but i and my whole family did it well with lots of fun. That was amazing feeling while we were top of the Kalapathhar. The heavenly decorated place. Highly recommended to everyone to reach once in life.
Today we visited Pashupatinath temple, the surrounding of the temple is magnificent. We found peace and pleasant inside the temple. We saw people burning dead bodies beside the Pashupatinath, in the bank of holy Bagmati River, people worshiping god with great faith, throwing coins in the statues, naked baba's were funny, in short, the whole trip was amazing.
Everest Base Camp – Cho La Pass – Gokyo Ri Trek is very thrilling trek. Chola Pass was really a beautiful day of my lifetime. Guide Mr Deepak and porters of Shepherd Holidays are kind hearted and helpful. They did their best to help us and run the trek smoothly. Highly recommended these guys. Cheers!
My colleages and I had a great time rafting! It took about 4hrs to get to the rafting area, lunch was provided, and then we spent 2+hrs on the water, then made our way back to Kathmandu. We hit some class 2 and 3 rapids that was perfect for moderately active adults with no experience. There is not a vehicle that stays with you while rafting but you can secure your items at the boat launch location and they have a "drybox" you can put your items like cellphones, wallets, or passports in if you want to keep them close. I would recommend water shoes of some sort.. We had to walk over a few sections of rocks and i really wished i had been better prepared and that i was not barefoot. At the end there is a changing room so you can change into a dry clothes, but you need to bring your own towel. The transportation part of the trip was the most concerning part to me, but they took care of us and had peope waiting at each stop ready to greet us and make sure we were headed the right direction. All things considered, this was a great trip and i would recommend it to friends!
I was just fine till Thorang Fedi. However, while we were ascending further to Thorang La pass, I started to feel some dizziness and headache. Our guide suggested me to not go any further. I am amazed about how he was able to figure out my problem, while all of my friends didn't even have the slightest idea. It must be because of his experience, working at very high altitude. So, me and one of the assistant guides returned back to Thorang Fedi, while all of my other group mates continued further to Thorang la Pass. We continued our trip following the next day. In spite of not being able to continue till Thorang La, this trek was one of the best moments of my life. All the jokes and memories we made, breathtaking views, blending with the Thakali Culture and the professionalism and amazing hospitality shown by the staffs of Shepherd holidays, I am definitely coming back again.
Me and my wife had been discussing about our plans for the coming new year. We had heard a lot from our friends about Nepal and their last trip to Annapurna Base Camp. And through them, we were recommended to Shepherd Holidays. We however planned to go for Langtang Trek.Following our 11 day trip, I must say that this was one of the best moments of my life. The view from Kyanjin Gompa must be the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Our guide was very kind and friendly at the same time.Thank you Shepherd Holidays for your amazing hospitality and service. You guys surely know how to treat your guests. We will surely be back again for our next trip to Annapurna Base Camp.
I recently did my trip to Nepal with my colleagues for a few days. We wanted to look over the Everest Base Camp so took a helicopter flight to Everest Base Camp.

We had a memorable and hassle free tour with a meaningful message in Nepal. We visit Muktinath last week, the temple is so beautiful in the lap of Himalayas. The 108 stone taps with freezing following was awesome. Other people in the temple advice us to bath in the pond of temple as they believe our sins get forgiven so we took bath in the pond and it was a brain numbing experience. All in all the Muktinath Yatra tour was awesome and the temple is a kind of heaven.
We had a great time in Panchase. The village was really fascinating, what a beautiful village it is, the mountain views, magnificent surrounding, friendly and funny natives and their warm hospitality. We enjoyed various flora and fauna while walking, our guide was very professional, he shares funny jokes and his experiences of trekking. Really enjoyed a lot

We saw a huge number of pilgrimages are taking bath in the tabs and ponds believing that the door of the heaven will open after death. It was thrilling and life time experience.
We had a blast experience of Motorbike ride tour in Nepal. However, the street of Nepal is quite busiest and winding, but offers an amazing fun. The scenery was dramatic and the hospitality was great enough. The team was supporting, caring and helpful. Everything was well managed and enjoyed a lot.

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the sunrise over the Himalayas from Sarangkot in Pokhara. The panoramic view of the Annapurna Range was surreal, and it's an image I'll carry with me forever. Nagarkot in Kathmandu also provided a stunning sunrise, though not as dramatic as Sarangkot.

A decade of travel, yet the Drukpath Trek remains a cornerstone in my collection of global adventures. Bhutan, with its mystical aura, drew me into a realm where mountains whisper secrets, and every step echoes with ancient tales. Shepherd Holidays, with their seasoned expertise, transformed this 10-day escapade into a series of chapters, each unfolding a new facet of the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
The trail, beginning above the Ta Dzong National Museum, led us through a tapestry of landscapes. The rough terrain, while challenging, became a canvas for the vivid strokes of pine, fur, and rhododendron. The allure of the high-altitude lakes mirrored the tranquility of Bhutan's spirit. The stillness of these pristine waters served as a reminder that time here moves in sync with the heartbeat of the Himalayas.
In the spring, the trek metamorphosed into a living masterpiece as rhododendrons adorned the path. The burst of colors, particularly in May, was a kaleidoscope that turned each step into a celebration of life. Shepherd Holidays' thoughtful inclusion of this natural spectacle elevated the trek into a sensory feast.
The cultural immersion during the farmhouse stay felt like traversing a portal to a bygone era. Amidst traditional architecture and heartfelt hospitality, I experienced the genuine Bhutanese way of life. The laughter shared over meals and the stories exchanged by the fireplace left an imprint on my soul.
The day hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery was the pinnacle, both figuratively and literally. As I ascended the steep path, I sensed the intertwining of spiritual energy and earthly beauty. The monastery, clinging to the cliff, felt like a metaphor for Bhutan itself – anchored in tradition yet reaching for the skies.
As I bid farewell to Bhutan after a decade, the Drukpath Trek lingers as a timeless gem in my travel chronicles. Shepherd Holidays not only crafted an itinerary but curated an odyssey through Bhutan's essence. A decade of memories, and the whispers of Bhutan's mountains continue to resonate in my heart.
"I recently returned from Shepherd Holidays' Pokhara Kathmandu Luxury tour, and I can't say enough about how incredible it was. From the moment I arrived in Nepal, I felt like I was in good hands. The itinerary was well thought out, allowing us to explore the rich culture of Kathmandu and then be amazed by the natural beauty of Pokhara.

At 67, I wasn't sure my legs could carry me to Annapurna Base Camp, but Shepherd Holidays proved age is just a number. Their gradual acclimatization schedule and comfortable teahouse accommodations allowed me to conquer each day with a sense of adventure, not dread. Sure, the climbs were tough, but the camaraderie of my fellow trekkers, the encouragement of our guide (who patiently answered my endless questions!), and the sheer awe-inspiring vistas made every step worthwhile. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp wasn't just a physical feat; it was a celebration of my spirit. Every ache and pain paled in comparison to the feeling of accomplishment, the sense of connection to the majestic mountains, and the deep well of pride at proving to myself that anything is possible. Shepherd Holidays treated me not like a grandmother defying expectations, but like a fellow adventurer embracing the unknown. Their respect for my pace, their genuine warmth, and their unwavering support made this journey a testament to the human spirit, young or old.
As a landscape photographer, I've chased sunrises around the globe, but none compare to the Annapurna dawn painted on Shepherd Holidays' 15-day canvas. Every bend in the trail was a postcard come to life: cascading waterfalls, sun-dappled forests, and snow-capped giants piercing the endless blue. Poon Hill, a sunrise amphitheater carved by the gods, left me speechless (and with enough clicks to fill a terabyte). But the trek wasn't just about capturing the majestic; it was about the intimate details - the prayer flags dancing in the wind, the crinkled smile of a teahouse owner handing me another cup of chai, the quiet power of a yak caravan traversing the mountain pass. Our guide, Pemba, with his eagle eyes and encyclopedic knowledge of flora and fauna, became my own National Geographic narrator, pointing out hidden wonders I'd otherwise miss. And the porters, with their tireless dedication, ensured my camera equipment reached every breathtaking viewpoint without a scratch. Shepherd Holidays' meticulous planning and genuine care for both trekkers and the environment made this more than just a photography expedition; it was a pilgrimage to the heart of serenity.
