“This tour was absolutely amazing. It was my very first day in Nepal and also my first time seeing a sunrise here and what a way to start. The view was spectacular as the sun slowly rose over the Himalayas, emerging from the darkness and revealing their beauty bit by bit. Our guide made sure we didn’t miss a single moment and explained everything clearly along the way. We also did some hiking, which I really loved. On top of that, I met wonderful fellow travelers and we even became friends. It was truly worth it. Big thanks to our guide, Anon, for making this experience unforgettable.”

“We were picked up by Shekhar in the morning and had a lovely walk around the rim of the Kathmandu Valley, cresting several small hills in sight of the city centre. Escaping the chaos of the city, within an hour we were amidst lush greenery and the great outdoors, and had an excellent 3-4h hike from Nargakot to Changunarayan Temple. The walk is fairly gentle, an individual of average fitness would be able to manage it comfortably. Shekhar is a gentle, humble guide and we had an enjoyable afternoon, would highly recommend it!”
