Wonderful experiences in Kathmandu - Our trip to Kathmandu was an unforgettable experience, enriched by the exceptional professionalism and cultural expertise of our tour guide Puspa. Her in-depth knowledge of Nepalese traditions and customs in the region made our trip a unique experience. She was always ready to answer our questions. We would also like to mention our driver Usah. She drove us safely and reliably through the busy streets of Kathmandu, allowing us to focus on the uniqueness of the city. We are very grateful to both of them for this wonderful experience and we can highly recommend this trip to this city to everyone.

Nepal on our terms with quality support along the way - Arish and his team were hands on from building our personal iternary and listening carefully to our style and pace of travel to make our experience what we wanted and not a cookie cutter. From the time of landing to leaving we were taken care of - even when we lost our phone they reacted like family to find it and deliver it to us! All the places they recommended to stay and see were quality and safe. I highly recommend this group and its guides!

Nepal and Bhutan Cultural experience - We arranged a 14 day bespoke trip to Nepal and Bhutan experiencing some of the Culture via Royal Mountain Travel, the service they provided was excellent advising us on what we could visit and where best to stay. Nothing was too much trouble - even us wanting to make last minute changes to our itinerary was quickly accommodated. Whilst on our trip they stayed in contact with us and made sure everything was going to plan. We had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed both Nepal and Bhutan. The highlight was Sunrise over the mountains in Sarangkot with breakfast with the most spectacular view, something I will never forget.

Cultural immersion in Kathmandu Valley - We spent 2 days in Kathmandu Valley for a temples and stupas tour. The tour was amazing. Our guide Puspa was one of the best! She was very helpful and showed us everything we wanted to see. We learnt a lot about Nepalese history, religion and culture. We will never forget the hindu ceremonies we saw near the temples on Saturday. The beauty of the Newari architecture surprised us as well. We booked this tour with Riksja Travel in Holland.

1 Week in Kathmandu. - This was an amazing experience. The tour company puts together very high-quality tours. We were safe, well-educated, & easily and comfortably transported. By far the best part of the experience was our guide Sujan Sapkota. Sujan made our trip perfect in every way; I can not say enough about the level of care & communication that Sujan provided. Thank You.

A Mesmerizing Journey Through Kathmandu’s Spiritual Heritage - Our recent temple and stupa tour in Kathmandu was an unforgettable cultural and spiritual experience. Each site offered a unique glimpse into Nepal’s rich religious tapestry, blending Hindu and Buddhist traditions in a way that’s truly captivating. From the sacred Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) with its panoramic views of the valley, to the serene Boudhanath Stupa, where the prayer flags danced with the wind — every moment was peaceful and deeply moving. We also explored ancient temples like Pashupatinath, where the spiritual energy is powerful and humbling. The intricate carvings, centuries-old rituals, and the peaceful presence of monks and sadhus created a timeless atmosphere. Our guide was knowledgeable and respectful, helping us appreciate not just the architecture but also the deeper meaning behind each sacred site. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting Kathmandu — whether you’re spiritually inclined or just curious about history and culture. Highly recommended for families, solo travelers, and culture lovers!
