What are people saying about Kathmandu

Hillary_M, May 2026

Nice and flexible tour

Nice tour with friendly guide and excellent driver. I got car sick and they took a less bumpy but slower route back to make it easier for me. I was also traveling with an autistic child you is non verbal and they were very accommodating to his needs.

Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour

May_O, Apr 2026

Go hungry

Deepak guided me through the bustling neighborhoods of Kathmandu, introducing me to a wonderful range of local Newari and Himalayan flavors. Unaccustomed to the traffic, I stayed close behind him as we navigated the lively streets. He wasn’t kidding about arriving hungry, I enjoyed everything. The tour included three different beverages and six mostly savory dishes, with plenty to spare for takeaway. Hot or bottled water was also provided. It was such a treat to sample so many dishes while learning about the local cuisine. I likely wouldn’t have ventured into these establishments on my own, but Deepak thoughtfully curated the experience with visitors’ comfort, food safety, and well-being in mind. He is personable, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring the entire tour is both enjoyable and memorable.

Pashupatinath Temple and Ceremonies

Got a very deep and intense insight to the history of Pashupatinath Temple and surroundings. The cremation ceremonies were awesome and the Ararat ceremony was stunning. My guide provided me with a deep inside to all features and did answer all my questions to enlarge my knowledge of Hinduism. Can only recommend it!

A delightful and delicious tour

Had an absolutely fantastic afternoon with Swoyam as he introduced us to so many new and amazing dishes. Not only was the food fantastic but we were given a wonderful insight into Nepalese history and culture along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kathmandu. So many of the places we visited were tucked away down little alleys or in quiet squares that we would never have discovered by ourselves. Thank you for a truly unique afternoon.

Day Trip to Bhaktapur and Panauti from Kathmandu

Debbie_H, Mar 2026

A Great Day to explore outside Kathmandu

This is a great one day tour to immerse yourself in the culture of Nepal. Puspa my guide was lovely and told me the history behind both towns.Shambhu the driver was very good at navigating some of the bumpy roads lol. Bhaktapur was much bigger than I expected and full of surprises, I got to see woodworkers chiselling large pieces of wood making a chariot for an upcoming festival. Went to a singing bowl shop where the young lady explained and showed me the benefits of using the bowl to help pain and balance your chakras. The highlight for me was going to a pottery studio and having a go at making something on the pottery wheel which I finally did with help from one of the guys. In Panuati we went to Sarinas homestay where she cooked the best food I have had on my holiday. This woman is No 1 in Nepal in my eyes and it is worth the trip to Panuati just to eat her food! You can stay at her home in Panuati she is part of the Community homestay project. Sarina Sainju #myhomestay I highly recommend this tour its a great way to get out of Kathmandu and see other places.

This experience was more than I could have asked for. Shankar was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nepal and provided insight that was much appreciated.

Nagarkot Sunrise

The guide Som was very helpful and knowledgeable, he catered to my needs when I needed a break which was very understanding of him. You do need to be able to walk 13 klm’s and it is mostly downhill. Enjoyed walking through the villages early morning to watch their daily routines but crossing the suspension bridge was the highlight of the trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed this...

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Deepak! He's super conversational and friendly. We went to a lot of local restaurants. He called ahead to make sure that the food came out right on time. I love the vegetable momos! If you are traveling alone in Kathmandu and needs a good local guide, I highly recommend Deepak!
