UNESCO sites at your pace - Enjoyed a full day tour visiting the UNESCO sites of the Patan Durban Square with the beautiful palace and Golden Temple. Then to the Pashupatinath Temple (cremation site) which was fascinating and an honour to witness. Then to the Boudhanath Stupa and walked clockwise (which Prakash explained why) around reciting Om Mani Padme Hum (prob misspelt - sorry) - incredibly grand and imposing while a powerful sight. Then to Swayambhunath Temple (also known as Monkey Temple) to take in the view of Kathmandu and the Stupa which is said to be created from the lotus flower. Prakash and his driver were informative, respectful and went at my pace. I chose this company as it just you in the tour so you can go at your own speed. Very kind and respectful and would book them again.

Great experience - We had a fantastic experience on our guided tour around Kathmandu! Prakash, our guide, was exceptional—he shared so much about the history and culture of the area, which really enriched our visit.

A day trip with Prakash - I traveled with Parksay a day trip along with another friend, we did the tour of 4 UNESCO sites. I highly recommend the trip and Parksak, an amazing guide with great knowledge, excellent English! Parksak picked us up from the hotel with a driver, we drove in a tight car, comfortable and pleasant between the various sites, Parksak was attentive, and showed great knowledge, answered all our questions happily. Great trip!! Enjoy!

Quick but awesome Kathmandu tour! - I did solo tour with Prakash Aryal and it was awesome. I landed on Sunday around noon and hadn't planned ahead, but I sent him a message on Whatsapp (he was recommended by my friend) asking if he could arrange a pickup at my hotel in a couple hours. I wanted to do a quick tour of Kathmandu since I was leaving for Bhutan the following day. Not only did he arrange a driver, but he came himself as a tour guide and took me to Pashupathinath Temple and Buddha Stupa. It was great having him along to explain the history/significance of the sights and to navigate a large bustling city after the driver dropped us at each site. He was also kind enough to drop me in Thamel after my tour to meet my friends for dinner. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful on short notice, highly recommended! Thanks Prakash!!

Well-paced and informative tour, very knowledgable guide. - We did the Private Kathmandu Top 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites tour, including Swayambunath, Patan Durbar, Pashupatinath and Bodnath. We had a great day travelling around the most important sites in Kathmandu. Arrangements were easy with great communication. Our guide Prakash was very well-informed, and explained all the details of the sights with much insight. A true scholar and a gentleman! He had a lot of patience with our questions and constant photo-taking. I can highly recommend this tour as a way of seeing these four sights at a perfect leisurely pace.

Fantastic tour of Kathmandu Historic Sites - We had a fantastic time on this tour! The driver and our guide, Prakash, were professional and informative. Amidst the bustle of the city, they both seemed calm going from place to place and Prakash was very knowledgeable about the various sites. I would highly recommend this tour and Prakash for any size group! I loved the Monkey Temple and an art studio tour that explained some of the art of Nepal.
