“I wanted to thank Mr. Ananta, my guide. He showed me places I'd already visited, but he also gave me valuable lessons in history, religion and customs. He's a man with a kind heart and an open mind. He was helpful and very caring. Such people should be recognized by their boss! I also thank the driver, Bijaya, because the roads in Nepal are difficult, just like driving. He's a young and very good driver. He deserves recognition! Best regards and thank you for a beautiful day.”

“Questo tour prevede solo il taxi. Per fortuna ce ne siamo resi conto e l’operatore ci ha trovato una guida all’ultimo minuto. Per fortuna perché il driver non sapeva nemmeno le strade… invece Sarita é stata una guida magnifica! Ci ha spiegato un sacco di cose e il suo inglese era perfetto, a differenza di altre guide trovate qui in città. 5 stelle per lei, per il driver no…”
Dhulikhel to Namobuddha guided hike from Kathmandu, with Buddhist culture, 1000-step climb, and optional monk meditation.
“I had a great time. The walk was lovely, getting to experience a little bit of the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monestary and part of a ceremony there was very interesting and carried a strong energy. Our driver was very calm and patient and I felt safe and relaxed during the whole drive And Pranav my guide made the trip really fun, I'd had booked it just by myself as a woman so I was the tiniest bit worried about both but he was very relaxed, told me a lot about the culture, religion, life in Nepal in general and was great company throughout. His englisch is top notch and when…”
Live like a monk at Nomobuddha near Dhulikhel with a guided hike, simple vegetarian meals, and daily chanting and meditation sessions.
“Quite disapointed with this tour. There was no puja, no meditation, chanting, rituals or practices. The only contact with monks was to attend dinner and breakfast next to them which was the highlight. The guesthouse is not in the monastery. The tour guide Anoj, was kind and enthusiastic showing around the monastery. He made a big effort in trying to figure out when pujas were or if any activity was happening, but the monastery did not give clear information either because they were busy with some preparations. I would have expected better communication and anticipation of events and cancelation of practices, so at least I could have had the chance…”
