Nice hike with stunning views - Myself and my teenage son really enjoyed this tour. We were picked up from the hotel on time and took to the viewpoint to admire the scenery and view of the Himalayas. Our guide Shishir was friendly, informative helpful and fun to hang out with for the day. The hike is very enjoyable, its mostly downhill so is quite an easy walk at a relaxed pace. Its an ideal hike for older backpackers or with young children, we passed through several small villages with friendly locals and ended the hike at a beautiful temple with some souvenier shops nearby 10/10

Sunrise at Nagarkot - Our guide Ananta was excellent. Getting up early was worth the effort. The hike after watching the sunrise was a wonderful immersive experience.

A Fabulous Way to Spend a Morning: Sunrise, Mountains, Scenery, Local Culture - What wonderful experience. We were blessed with clear weather so the sunrise over the Himalayas was spectacular. Clear views of Annapurna, Manaslu and at a distance: Everest. The walk through Nagarkot was scenically beautiful and a pleasant view of village life. Nagarkot Suspension bridge is amazing and, as always in Nepal, Changu Naryan Temple is incredible. Madan our guide was welcoming and knowledgable and we were in safe hands with our driver Gagan. A fabulous Morning.

Exquisitely Curated Experience - This was a fantastic trip made possible by my fantastic guide, Ananta. Ananta communicated well prior to the excursion. He was attentive to my safety throughout the hike, including climbing the watchtower to make sure I made it down safely, encouraging me to rest along the excursion when necessary, and suggesting alternative routes when the road was washed out. He was also extremely personable and informative about all aspects of Nepali society and history, from contemporary economy and politics to the history of the Changu Narayan Temple and the various Buddhist stupas we passed on route. He also took excellent photos along the way. Finally, he even collaborated with other guides to ensure that my friends and I could travel and eat together on the hike. I highly recommend this trip and Ananta. Although the weather didn’t permit a direct viewing of the mountains, I now know when to schedule a return trip. If I have a chance to return to Nepal again— maybe for a trek to Annapurna base camp—I would choose Ananta as my guide again. I would give this trip 6 stars if I could. I loved every minute of it.

Nice experience with Pankaj - This was a fun experience - naturally an early start and Pankaj was on-time for pickup. The sunrise was nice although unfortunately it was a bit cloudy so couldn’t see the mountains - but that can’t be helped. The walk afterwards was good, first part is walking down a road with some nice views and seeing local people. Then there was a section going through the forest which was really cool. Pankaj was great, very kind and friendly.
