What are people saying about Kathmandu

Michael_S, Oct 2026

Fantastic culinary experience!

I would highly recommed this walking food tour with Deepak. He introduced us to places we would ordinarily not see and allowed us to taste fantastic local dishes. Deepak was very friendly and hospitable and food hygiene was also top of his list, only taking us to places that had very high hygiene standards. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Kathmandu!

This tour was a really...

This tour was a really great way to see all of the highlights of Kathmandu in one day. I thought the tour was well organized and not overwhelming in terms of information, but when I look back we did SO much. It can be sometimes ~20 minutes in the car between sites which I think helped it feel less overwhelming. My guide was Razz who was great at giving the highlights and answering any questions that I had. I appreciated how he let me take my time in some places and was receptive when I was moving quicker through other places. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour!

Nagarkot Sunrise Trip & Day Hike with Lunch from Kathmandu

I had a very pleasant day...

I had a very pleasant day trip. It was well organized and even though I booked a group tour the operator was kind enough to let me have a private tour for the same price instead when it turned out that there were no other participants. My guide (Purshottam) and driver (Ramiz) were both very professional and made me feel safe throughout the whole trip. Although the weather for the sunrise itself wasn't perfect I would say that the whole trip including the walk and visit to some temples was well worth it!

Wonderful view of Everest

Our tour guide picked us from hotel and initially I was disappointed we are on Yeti Air’s propeller plane - for the price I am paying I was expecting Buddha Air or Shree. However all was good and sky was clear. Those sitting on the left has longer view of mountain range until the plane makes a turn then those on right side will have glimpse of Everest immediately. Overall wonderful experience !

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.

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!!!

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. My little one was car sick and he grabbed her a water and waited for us to sort her before taking us through. Communication beforehand was exceptional. 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.

Nagarkot Sunrise View and Day Hiking from Kathmandu

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.
