Wonderful view of the mountains. - The view of the Himalayas depends on the weather. The day we went the weather was good. We had a really great view of the mountains. Our guide was able to point out various peaks, including Everest. The second half of the tour was interesting. Our guide was good and very friendly. We are glad we took the tour.

A fantastic Kathmandu day trip - A great morning adventure. The sunrise on the mountain is stunning, and then a great morning exploring Bhatapur before the crowds. Prakash is a fantastic guide who is very knowledgable and answered all my questions

Nagarkot Sunrise - The weather was beautiful and the mountains were clear. Durbar Square in Bhaktapur is huge. Earthquake damage prevented us from seeing some buildings. This tour was pricey, but it was a good experience.

Great guide - Unfortunately it was a cloudy day in the mountains, so the view of the Himalayas which i had came for was not possible. But Prakash, our guide, was very knowledgeable about many subjects, so we booked a different tour with him for the next day to visit Hindu and Buddhist temples. I highly recommend this guide.
