Would book again with no reservations - We had a late flight out of Kathmandu so booked a tour for the morning. Subash was our guide. He was absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and kind. We hadn't had time to tour Kathmandu in the almost 3 weeks we had been in Nepal, and this was the perfect way to end our trip.

A small trek get a flavour of Nepal - I had booked a morning sunrise trip to Nagarkot followed by a trek to Changunarayan temple from Sialkot village. I was picked up from my Kathmandu hotel around 5am and by 6am, we had reached Nagarkot. Along with the driver, my guide was Subhash, who knew mucha bout the place. Unfortunately for us, the sky was very cloudy and no snow peak could be seen. We then had tea at a dhaba and checked out the Buddha Peace Pagoda followed by the Ran Jhula hanging bridge. The car then drove another kilometer and dropped us at Sialkot village for where we started a trek through light forests and a trail. After about 90 minutes, we reached the Changunarayan temple. The car had already reached the temple entrance before so I could leave my jacket. We went up the stairs and spent about 30-40 mins at the temple and also some time at the shops going up. Although I was supposed to be dropped back to the hotel, I chose to get off at Lalitpur Durbar Square.

Fell in love with Kathmandu - My guide subash met me the morning of the excursion in the lobby of my hotel. He was prompt, friendly and greeted me with a warm smile. He outlined the day for me and asked me if i wanted to make any changes. He told me the main point of the trip was to make and keep me happy. Before each location he told me how far away it was and during each stop he gave me a good history of each site and allowed me to take ample photos and time on my own to absorb everything He suggested where and what to have for lunch and he and the driver returned me to the hotel safe and sound

Magnificent 1 day tour to cover Kathmandu valley - Though a bit pricey lots of things were covered in 1 day . Subhash the guide was perfect in every way for a first time traveller . Not only he showed all 7 unesco sites as in the itinerary he went far and beyond to make sure to do everything we wanted . Very friendly , kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Shepherd holidays for bookings .

Sightseeing in Kathmandu - Umesh did a great job as the guide, he showed up early and on time to pick me up which was great! He made sure to help me out by taking many great pictures of me since I was traveling solo. He made sure to keep me well informed on everything and gave me great insight on both Hinduism and Buddhism. I definitely reccomend umesh if you want to have a great and informative tour! Very good and patient guy!

Sumit was a great guide,... - Sumit was a great guide, and we appreciated seeing all 7 heritage sites. It was a very long day, but well worth it if you have limited time in Kathmandu.
