The Kathmandu Valley rim is one of the finest places to enjoy day trekking in all of Nepal. Located so near Kathmandu, it is well above the noise of the Valley as the spectacular Himalayas come into view. The Sacred Alpine Day Trek takes you from one of the three most holy Buddhist sites at Namobuddha and covers a wonderful walk to the magnificent city of Dhulikhel. Situated on the top of a hill facing the Himalayas, its views are impeccable to behold. The journey begins early as you are taken by private car to Namobuddha to see the place where the pre-incarnation of Lord Buddha offered his arm (and his life) to a hungry tigress to save her young.

Levi_H, May 2026

Golden Brown and fun all around!

Kathmandu: Top 4 UNESCO & Arati Tour with Lunch - Private/Group

avanprooyen, May 2026

Fabulous UNESCO sites tour!

We had a wonderful half day tour with our excellent guide, Punam. We visited four sites and had ample time to learn about each site and explore on our own. We were able to customize the tour as we had already visited The Monkey Temple, so we visited Kathmandu’s Durbar Square instead, which was a must see! We enjoyed visiting these sites on Buddha’s birthday along with the locals. All in all, we enjoyed our time with Punam, who was friendly, warm and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her and this experience.

UNESCO Seven World Heritage Tour in Kathmandu

Michael_H, Apr 2026

Fascinating Day trip round Kathmandu and surrounding area

Had a great tour of Kathmandu and the surrounding area led by our guide Shanti. She was very flexible allowing us to linger or take photos when we wished or to move on to the next site more quickly as we wished. Shanti was very knowledgeable and so the trip was really interesting. This tour seemed to be the best itinerary when I booked and it was amazing how much we crammed into a day. It was good to visit a couple of key sites in the surrounding area and not just the main ones in Kathmandu. This was a great introduction to Nepal.

Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites

Stacey_T, Apr 2026

Highly recommend!

We did the private 7 UNESCO sites with a 8am start time and we were back by 3:15pm. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kathmandu, Deepak was a great tour guide! Highly recommend because I don’t think this would have been possible on our own— it is not always obvious where to pay the entrance fees and the sites are also not always clearly labeled; having Deepak & our own driver definitely made this day possible & extremely stress-free!

Kathmandu: 7 UNESCO Tour & Arati Tour with Lunch - Private/Group

Chang_H, Apr 2026

An Unforgettable and Well-Organized Journey with Tej

Tej is an exceptionally experienced and professional guide. He made our visit both meaningful and enjoyable with his knowledge and attentive guidance. Although completing all seven UNESCO sites in a single day may seem quite demanding, Tej managed the itinerary very efficiently, ensuring a smooth flow and a comfortable pace throughout the tour. Overall, it was an excellent experience. While the day was understandably tiring, the sense of accomplishment at the end was truly rewarding. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Tej as your guide.

Day Trip to Bhaktapur and Panauti from Kathmandu

Elizabeth_S, Apr 2026

Amazing!!!

What an amazing day! I highly recommend this experience-it is not to be missed! My guide Puspa was real treasure. She made everywhere we went come alive with her stories, knowledge and wonderful sense of humor! Our driver Shanti was a miracle worker in the chaos of the roads here. She drove so safely and perfectly! We also had an amazing lunch at the homestay house of Sarina. That was one of the best meals I have had in all Nepal. Her hospitality was beyond measure. This organization also supports women in every working capacity and I sure appreciate that. Don’t miss this experience!

Nagarkot Sunrise Trip & Day Hike with Lunch from Kathmandu

Deborah_R, Mar 2026

We hoped to see the Bug Man at sunrise and we did!!

The mountains are a long way away, but if you get a clear morning, it is a wonderful experience. As this is just a part of the trip, the hike including a suspension bridge, Buddhist Temple, high villages and forests and ending at Changunarayan Temple is a wonderful and full on experience. Great day!!

Nagarkot Sunrise View & Day Hiking with Lunch - Private/Group

Iain_H, Mar 2026

Fabulous morning with Anon, delightful start to the day

Ok so we had haze and some clouds so the mountains were not clear but we still had a great trip! Communication was excellent from Anon and we were picked up exactly on time and driven (by an excellent driver) to the viewpoint. Sunrise was really nice despite the haze and we then had some masala chai sat by the fire and breakfast before the hike. Nice and easy as some members of our group favoured the shorter option and we went with the flow. Was really nice walking through the local area and at one point serving as a resting point for a goat who decided to rest against my shin for ages. Anon is a really knowledgeable and jovial guide who likes a chat and this made for a really nice fun walk: his attitude is very much get something out of the day so if the weather blocks the mountains a bit then you’re going to enjoy the walk, which we certainly did! The 250m bridge we crossed is fun and not as terrifyingly as it looks. Thoroughly recommend this trip, if you get Anon then you’re in for a really fun time and he’ll give you loads of great information along the way.

Landing Everest Base Camp Kalapathar by Helicopter with Breakfast

Cheryle_S, Mar 2026

Life long wish granted!!

It was an unbelievably beautiful experience. Don't think twice, it was worth every cent. I cannot commended the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour enough. From the pickup and transfer to Kathmandu airport to our brilliant pilot it was professional, courteous and careful. Thank you all making this possible.

Mountain Everest Scenic Flight with Hotel Pickup and Dropoff

Kristin_F, Jan 2026

Once in a lifetime

Good experience-the flight was delayed by one hour but this is common in Nepal. My driver to and from the airport was on time and very nice (Prakash). The flight HR itself was great-the flight attendants go around ensuring you know which mountains are which and everyone had a window seat. Definitely had a good experience and would highly recommend as it’s a once in a lifetime one.
