Nagarkot Sunrise Trip & Day Hike with Lunch from Kathmandu

Claudia_L, Jun 2026

Last minute solo travel fun!

I had the pleasure of extending my stay in kathmandu and booking this activity very last minute. I was the only person signed up for that time and they were able to still accommodate me for a very reasonable price increase. Umesh was my guide and he was very pleasant, cordial and knowledgeable. As a solo female traveling for the first time to nepal, this was a great experience to explore beautiful views while learning about Nepal's culture as well. 100% recommended

Day Trip to Bhaktapur and Panauti from Kathmandu

Peta_M, Jun 2026

Great Experience :)

I did this a while back - Didn't realise my review wasn't done. Absolutely loved this day tour. My guide Dillip was brilliant. Such a great person to visit and experience Nepal with. His smile and happy persona was infectious. Had so much fun exploring these two areas. Bhaktapur is still my favourite ancient city - so beautiful to see it's still alive with people. I loved stepping out of the main city and exploring a village. The homestay lunch was delicious, the family were lovely and getting to see everyday life in the village was a great experience. I would recommend this tour any day. Loved our driver even though I can't remember her name.

Richard_D, May 2026

An awesome experience and the highlight of my tour

I am speechless when we arrived in Lukla airport. The view there is already awesome but more when we were in Periche and when we landed in Kalapathar. The food and view at Everest Mountain View hotel is great. We are lucky to have a good weather and view.

UNESCO Seven World Heritage Tour in Kathmandu

Albert_F, May 2026

Excellent option and high value for one day tour

This tour was fantastic and highly recommended for anyone traveling to Kathmandu for a short period of time. Both the tour operator and the tour guide were in contact before the tour and available to answer any questions we had in advance to help prepare (for example, about weather expectations and what clothes to wear). The tour itself was very comprehensive and our guide Shanti knew the history of the sites extraordinarily well. The driver was safe and reliable and knew their way around. I strongly recommend this tour for you if you have only a short time to visit and want to get a full experience of these heritage sites in and around Kathmandu!

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.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

This flight was amazing. Definitely a recommended trip whilst in Kathmandu. Driver was amazing and helped us through to get our tickets.

This company looked after us so well whilst in Nepal even saving the day on our first day when our first tour company didnt turn up.
