Great experience with WP Travel Engine Adventure

Reviewed Tour Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek (3 years ago)

My mum and I did a 1-day hiking tour near Kathmandu with Joel. He is an amazing and experienced guide and above all very kind person. The hike was very nice, but what we liked the most was Joel company. We highly recommend him when going to any tour by WP Travel Engine Adventure. Also, the owner Joel is very nice and professional. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative and wise.

The Best trekking planner in Nepal

Reviewed Tour Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake (3 years ago)

I did the trek twice in 2 years with WP Travel Engine Adventure - Poon Hill trek and Langtang trek. The company planned every detail of the trips that made us worry-free and assured that we got the best quality services during the whole trip. Our trek guides were so experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and humorous that made our trips full of laughter! Even the porters were of high quality and taking care of us when needed.

No other way to get satisfaction

Reviewed Tour Annapurna Base Camp Trek (3 years ago)

Sunrise is the most beautiful and basecamp sunrise should be a must if you\'re in the area. Did the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Eco Adventure and cannot recommend Joel and his team highly enough. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative, wise, careful and a mine of information about Nepal, its history, and customs.

One of the best customer attitudes in Nepal.

Reviewed Tour Everest Base Camp Trek (3 years ago)

Great trek and great guide/porter provided by unique adventure. I can simply recommend this trekking agency. The owner Joel Karki is an extremely helpful man, who will do whatever it takes to help you organize your trip and provide the best possible services. He also stays in touch to make sure everything is fine and well going. I met a lot of different customer attitudes in Nepal, and Joel has one of the best of them all. You are simply not just a pile of money for him.

Introduction

Homestay is a popular form of hospitality and lodging whereby visitors stay in a house or apartment of a local of the city to which they are traveling. The length of stay can vary from one night to even a year and can be free, in exchange for monetary compensation, in exchange for a stay at the guest’s property either simultaneously or at another time (home exchange), or in exchange for help on the host’s property. Longer term homestays are popular with students that are participating in study abroad programs. Homestays are examples of collaborative consumption and sharing. In cases where money is not exchanged in return for accommodation, they are examples of a barter economy or gift economy.

Students

Students that are studying abroad and wish to participate in a homestay typically arrange them via the same local educational consultant who also organizes the academic aspect of their program. Independent students who assume all of their own travel arrangements can contact a local homestay placement agency to tailor their accommodation details, or alternatively may inquire via their respective school of study.

Travelers

Travelers that wish to participate in a home stay typically arrange them via a hospitality service.The terms of the homestay are generally worked out in advance and will include items such as the type of accommodation, length of stay, chores required to be performed (e.g., cleaning, laundering, help on a farm), curfews, use of utilities and internet, television or telephone, and rules related to smoking, drinking, and drugs.
