What are people saying about 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

Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites

Peta_M, Jun 2026

A great way to see many sites of Kathmandu on a short time frame

The tour was a very interesting way to explore all destinations. I enjoyed exploring the Ancient City of Patan Durbar Sq. It was lovely to be able to get a guided tour of the city and listen to all the history. The Museum displayed beautiful artifacts of the area. Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple were also great to explore and experience the daily lives of people in Kathmandu. It was nice to see the two religions Hinduism and Buddhism and experience their rituals. I dind't go to Swaymbhunath as I had already visited the Buddhist Temple on another day. The guide was a lovely person who was happy for me to stop and take photos, giving a lot of information about all the areas and history. I'd highly recommend this tour

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!

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!

Kathmandu: Full Day Top 4 UNESCO 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.

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!!!

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.

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!!
