Great experience customized to my needs! - Fantastic tour for solo travelers. Dipesh was the tour guide and gave me lots of info. Once he realized how much I liked monasteries he quietly found a way for me to visit one as a surprise. We were able to accommodate some shopping since I was only here for two days. Shyam was my driver and definitely a great one. Overall a great experience learning about Nepal from an English speaking local!

Kathmandu’s greatest hits in one day - Great tour that packs all the highlights of Kathmandu, with a mix of Hindu and Buddhist temples, Nepalese palaces and squares, and other cultural sites (art museum, crematorium). Our guide Dipesh was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. He took the time to answer all our questions about Nepal’s history, people and culture. He is also very flexible and allowed us to explore the sites at our own pace. Highly recommended day tour!

He explained the historical and cultural significance of each site in a clear and engaging way, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The tour is definitely worth it if you’re looking to get an overview of Kathmandu’s most important cultural and historical landmarks in just one day. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend - My guide was Shankar Bhattarai. He was very attentive to my wishes and explained the main principles of Buddhism in a clear and engaging way. We managed to visit everything I had planned. He knew the answers to almost all of my questions - about history, the meaning of Nepal’s flag, and local society. As a solo traveler, I felt that everything was interesting, safe, and professional. The Buddha Stupa is especially beautiful in the evening - I recommend visiting in the same order.
