What are people saying about Kathmandu

George_A, May 2026

Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend them enough! Bhuddi met before my trip to go over all the details and answer questions,. He kept me informed about my early morning hotel pickup by text. They arranged to let me get off in Lukla after the tour so I could stay a couple days. Then they took care of getting me on a shared helicopter ride from Lukla back to Katmandu and to my surprise he made sure I got from the airport to my hotel which I was not expecting. Highly recommend!

Overall, this tour is a fantastic option for anyone visiting Kathmandu for the first time.

Knife (Khukuri) Making Workshop- Forge of the Gurkhas

Elizabeth_M, May 2026

Unique Cultural Experience

Matt and I had an absolutely incredible experience at this Khukuri knife-making workshop in Kathmandu. We were so appreciative that they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which made everything very easy and welcoming from the start. The workshop took place behind their beautiful family home, which made the experience feel extremely personal and authentic. They welcomed us with delicious milk tea and treated us with such genuine hospitality throughout the day. We loved being able to hand forge our own knives completely from scratch and even personalize them. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing their craft and culture with us. This was far more than just a workshop — it was a rewarding hands-on cultural experience and one of our favorite memories from Kathmandu. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Nepal!

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!

Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour

avanprooyen, Apr 2026

Fun, delicious 5 star food tour!

We had an incredible food tour in Kathmandu with Deepak Nepali, who brought the city’s culture to life through its food. Wandering through the rainy streets of Thamel and nearby neighborhoods made it even more atmospheric. We stopped at four restaurants and two street vendors, sampling a variety of Newari and local Kathmandu specialties—every bite was delicious. A perfect way to experience the heart of the city! We highly recommend Deepak’s food tour. Come hungry!!!

Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans

jessica_h, Apr 2026

If you are interested in alternative healing you must do!

I have always been interested in alternative medicine and healers since I was a little girl. Krishna was an excellent guide. He explained what the Shaman would do and what it was. I was able to have my own consultation and he explained everything to me and what the Shaman said and explained the ceremony. During the ceremony I could feel the vibrations and energy moving up and throughout my body. I was definitely a lot more relaxed afterwards. I was also able to witness locals visit with Shaman as well and their ceremonies. Each ceremony was different. Krishna was very thorough, friendly, and welcoming! He even took photos and video of the ceremony for me. I couldn’t ask for a better guide.

Private Bhaktapur and Nagarkot Day Tour From Kathmandu

George_Z, Apr 2026

A Wonderful Window into Nepal

After having traveled to over 70 countries and taken my fair share of tours, our guide on this tour, Bidhya, was quite possibly the best tour guide I've ever had. We started our morning with a pick up at our hotel where Bidhya was waiting and drove out to Nagarkot for a short hike through the hills halfway across the suspension bridge and up to the lookout point for the Himalayas. The drive to get there was about an hour and a half in a comfortable, air conditioned car, where Bidhya gave us a very detailed explanation of the Kathmandu Valley and its history and traditions. After Nagarkot, we headed to Bhaktapur where we walked among the squares and temples, and the local streets, for a good two hours. This was a fantastic look into a fascinating world. All throughout, Bidhya explained the importance and use of the squares along with a background as to how Hinduism and Bhuddism are practiced in Nepal. After a good 6 hours, we returned to our hotel, extremely satisfied with our experience. A huge shoutout to Breakfree Adventures for putting this trip together and all the kudos in the world for the best guide in Kathmandu, Bidhya. Kudos as well to our great driver Lok who managed those Kathmandu Valley streets to perfection. A wonderful and highly recommended experience!!!

Kathmandu Airport Private Transfers

Kerry_O, Feb 2026

Smooth, Reliable, and Stress-Free Airport Transfer

I had a great experience with this Kathmandu airport transfer service and would absolutely recommend it. From the minute I booked, the communication was excellent. They stayed in touch right up until pickup, which gave me peace of mind. Clear, timely messages made everything simple and straightforward. My driver arrived early at my hotel and was friendly and professional. He didn’t rush me at all, which I appreciated, and once we were on the road he was a safe and confident driver. The entire transfer felt smooth, efficient, and well organized. Getting to the airport was quick and convenient, and I didn’t have to worry about negotiating transportation, timing, or logistics. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated that they handled all the details — I just had to show up. If you’re looking for a reliable, stress-free airport transfer in Kathmandu, this is a fantastic option. Five stars!

Gary_C, Feb 2026

Spectacular scenery - 1 hr Mount Everest flight excursion, Guide Nawa

We took the 1 hour Mount Everest flight from Kathmandu and it was spectacular. The scenery while flying over and beside the Himalayas was like we were in another world. Our guide Nawa Thapaliya and driver picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the airport. Nawa took us inside and did our check in. We had a long wait because of foggy weather. But once we took off, the magic of the scenery made it well worth the wait. Amazing!!

Nagarkot Sunrise View and Day Hiking from Kathmandu

Suraj_N, Nov 2025

Nagarkot Sunrise morning walk

We had a great time on this walk with Madan. Making it to the sunrise and seeing the Himalayas was incredible. The walk also took us around local areas and temples. Madan was very informative and made our day a great experience. Definitely recommend this day trip and Madan.
