What are people saying about Kathmandu

Aaron_T, Oct 2026

All About The Vibes

This was honestly such a wonderful day, the perfect introduction to Kathmandu for those only in the city for a short while. My guide was Rustam, and what a perfect guide he was. Super attentive and absolutely full of knowledge. Not to mention his sense of humour really meet the day. He mentioned a few times throughout the day that it was "all about the vibes", which ended up being the slogan for the rest of the day. This day was wonderful and I'm very grateful for the time. Thanks!

Knife (Khukuri) Making Workshop- Forge of the Gurkhas

TroyJ_K, Oct 2026

A true local cultural experience with a quintessential artisan!

This is the best way to experience a traditional local art form, and help create your own personal unique souvenir. Indra and his team are incredible at creating your personal experience, with as much or as little involvement as you want! I would do this again many more times!

Landing Everest Base Camp Kalapathar by Helicopter with Breakfast

adamclancy, Oct 2026

Excellent tour with out of this world views

We really enjoyed this tour and we were lucky enough to be booked on the first day after the monsoon season officially ended so the weather was perfect all the way through. Buddhi was excellent with communication; after the booking was made, the in person briefing at our hotel the day before and also making sure we were collected and returned to our hotel at both ends. The Airbus helicopters used have the less usual 1 passenger in front and 4 in the back seat configuration, but the other people on our tour were all game for switching seats after each stop so everyone gets a chance by the window, or up front, for some great pictures (you also do get the chopper to yourselves for a short private section when they take turns shuttling you up to a viewpoint over Base Camp, which was great, even if the air was very thin at the high altitude!) The breakfast at the hotel is one of two fixed menus and was good but the views there are what made the tour worth the relatively high price. If you get the chance to do it then we’d highly recommend the tour.

Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour

Jonathan_M, Oct 2026

An excellent food tour and informative

Excellent introduction to Kathmandu. The food was genuinely lovely and the added commentary provided by Deepak around its origins was appreciated. We really appreciated the fact that Deepak was in communication with us via WhatsApp early after booking, very responsive and was able to specifically cater for my vegetarian daughter. His kind and thoughtful approach to the tour and engagement made it a great experience.

Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group

Maya_M, Sep 2026

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

Martijn_S, Sep 2026

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!

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!!!

Mountain Everest Scenic Flight with Hotel Pickup and Dropoff

Karlee_A, Feb 2026

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.
