Great tour with Shankar and Prahald - Shankar Bhattarai and his driver Prahald were punctual, friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
We visited 4 heritage sites and Shankar was excellent in bringing us around and ensuring that we had an enjoyable tour of the local scene.
Shankar gave us the down low of Nepal's history and connecting the dots to the religious influences and events that has made Nepal the country it is today. It's a huge discount on a history masterclass of Nepal.
There was minimal walking between sites and Prahald was always ready to pick us up to the next destination.

Amazing and Adventure of A lifetime - It’s an amazing experience with Shankar! It has became an educational trip, and we get to know the culture and the life of Nepal in real life. He’s very knowledgeable and patiently guiding us and explaining all the history and cultural traditional of this country. I highly recommend him to everyone who wants to have the full experience. Also, thank you very much to Prahald who has drove us around from and to our pickup/drop off. Our hotel is far away from the city and the road has been bumpy and not developed, but he has driven us back hotel safe and sound! Thank you very much from our heart.

Great Kathmandu primer - This is an outstanding option whether you only have a day in Kathmandu or if you’re spearheading a longer trip of Nepal highlights. The guide will expertly orient you to all the UNESCO locations Kathmandu has to offer and provide as much insight as you would like into the elaborate history and culture. Shout out to my guide Dipesh and my driver Rabi for providing a 5 star experience 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Bindhya made it so special! - What a glorious day. I hadn’t been back to wonderful Katmandu for 50 years and wanted to show my wife the wonders of this mystical land. Thanks to the mindless and understanding of Bindhya, we had the most sensational tour of all the historic sites and could not have been more pleased or fulfilled. I recommended highly.

Great half day tour in Kathmandu - Tremendous cultural experience. Our guide Nutan was an expert on Kathmandu and Nepalese history. His English was excellent and he spoke with pride of the Nepalese history. No hyperbole or propaganda. No hustle to sell things or have us buy at particular places. Refreshing to have a low pressure tour guide. Also helped with bargaining for our souvenirs. The highlights were many on this tour. The grand finale for us was the visit to the ghats at the most special temple in Kathmandu, Pashupatinath Temple.

Highly recommend. Adds so much context and understanding. - Keshar has deep knowledge of the history of Nepal as well as the sites we visited. The entire day was a fantastic experience. I got so much more from visiting the sites with Keshar than I could have got by myself. Highly recommend.

Private tour to 4 UNESCO sites - We went to Nepal for a long weekend so I decided to just stay in Kathmandu. I booked multiple tours to fill my days in Kathmandu since we don’t have a lot of time. We really enjoyed the 4 UNESCO site private tour. I saw there’s an option of the 7 site tour but I felt it would be too long. This one is just perfect. Our guide Deepak is very attentive. He shared a lot of knowledge on Hinduism and Buddhism. Highly recommended for anyone that wanted to explore temples in Kathmandu.

Outstanding and informative experience! - We took this tour today and it was easily the highlight of our trip to Kathmandu. The sites we visited were well-chosen, giving us a good overview of Nepal’s rich history and culture. The temples were lovely, and our visits were very informative. Deepak, our tour guide, was unfailingly pleasant and energetic, despite the long day. This tour is highly recommended if you have some time in the city. You won’t regret it.

Amazing Pashupatinath Temple Tour with Raj! Caves and Meeting real Aghori!!! - Raj gave us an incredible one-of-a-kind tour of Pashupatinath! He provided us with cultural context, history, insight into the symbology of the temple spaces, ceremonies, and rituals. His demeanor is very friendly, inviting, and so welcoming. Upon learning that my partner and I are spiritual, he led us to the hidden meditation caves of Tilopq and Naropq (WOW!!!) upstream from the Aarati ceremony site. We were and are so grateful to him for the opportunity to meditate inside the caves! Afterwards, Raj took us up to meet a REAL Aghori yogi, who lives in one of the cave spaces and has a devout practice. Raj’s Aghori friend welcomed us and answered some of our questions, also sharing that he and his fellow Aghoris cook for and feed the 50+ dogs who live on the holy site. Thank you for making our visit so special Raj! We hope to return to Kathmandu and see more sights with Raj in the future. He is knowledgeable and very kind. धन्यवाद !!!
