Trusted by International Tourists, Trekkers & Insurers
Real experiences from travelers treated at our Chaksibari Marg clinic in Thamel, Kathmandu.
“Walked in at 8:30 AM after returning from Annapurna with severe dehydration. Stool lab test took 75 minutes, confirmed Giardia, got 1 liter of IV fluids and exact medication. Spoken English was flawless and Allianz reimbursed my claim in 4 days using their stamped medical report.”
“Booked a pre-Everest Base Camp checkup. The altitude physician checked our oximetry, explained the exact ascent profile for Namche and Dingboche, and dispensed genuine Diamox with a written dosing card. Best $45 we spent in Nepal.”
“Scratched by a monkey near Swayambhunath. Messaged on WhatsApp and was in the treatment room 20 minutes later. Thorough 15-minute wound wash, WHO-prequalified rabies vaccine, and an international vaccination booklet with dates for my remaining doses.”
“Clean, calm, zero chaos compared to big hospitals. Upfront price list on the desk, fast CBC and Dengue test, and itemized receipt for GeoBlue. Highly recommend to any traveler in Thamel.”
“Before Manaslu I had a full health check, got my SpO2 baseline recorded, and a day-by-day acclimatization plan printed for my itinerary. Crossed Larkya La with zero symptoms.”
“My husband cut his hand on a trekking pole tip. Sterile cleaning, proper dressing, tetanus booster, and a take-home dressing kit — all in 40 minutes. The insurance packet arrived by email before we reached our hotel.”
“Five days of fever after returning from Chitwan. The fever panel identified Typhoid the same afternoon — started correct antibiotics immediately instead of guessing. Follow-up WhatsApp check-ins were free.”
“As a digital nomad staying six months, the annual membership paid for itself by the third visit. Same physician every time, medication refills handled, and WhatsApp answers within the hour.”

What the Reviews Say
The reviews tell the operational story: the traveler who came in with fever and left with a diagnosis and treatment plan in an hour. The trekker whose insurance claim succeeded because the documentation was complete. The anxious patient whose questions were answered in English without language barrier. The pattern is consistent — speed, clarity, and the paperwork that works.
What patients consistently mention
- Wait time — typically minutes, not hours
- Communication — clear English, no translation confusion
- Lab speed — 60-minute results, not multi-day delays
- Insurance documentation — the claim-ready PDF that works
- Outcome — the treatment that resolved the problem
Why We Publish Them
Reviews serve two purposes: they tell future patients what to expect, and they hold us accountable to the standards we claim. Publishing all reviews — not curated highlights — means the criticism is visible alongside the praise. The honesty is intentional; a clinic that shows only good reviews is marketing, not transparency.
