My guide and driver were super! Highly recommend this small travel company for your stay in Kathmandu. Witnessed a cremation at Pashupatinath by the river, not for everyone, but grateful for the experience. Boudhanath more peaceful although very busy streets around it. If you are looking for Buddhist based artwork, bowls or beads, this is a spiritual place to buy them.
Thank you so much.
This tour was amazing, the guide Bishnu, Is excellent, I've learned a lot. Everything was superb, this half-day tour is worth the detour! Thanks to everyone, driver included
Dear Simon, Thank you so much for the review. Min Khatri(Mr)
Such an unbelievable location! Loved the beautiful buildings and weather! Enjoyed lounging at small cafes enjoying coffee people watching for hours as so many people come here each day! Beautiful country beautiful people!
Together with Krishna I visited the Boudhanath Stupa, which is huge and fascinating (I already saw the Pashupatinath Temple and you should definitely go there too). He drove me with his motorbike to the stupa. We walked around and drank something on a roof top terras. I had a nice time and can recommend the tour for sure. Krishna is really kind and he can tell you a lot about the temples, Buddhism, Hinduism and the Nepalese and Newari culture. I can also highly recommend his tour in Bhaktapur.
This tour gives you a brief review of Buddhism and Hinduism practices in Nepal. This monument is not too far from the airport. It will last for about 2 or 3 hours but you would understand about the importance of religion.
Welcoming at the hotel by the boss and guide, then a pleasantly commented visit! Perfectly organized and well documented, an excellent address for visits, plus excellent surprise, Pawan our guide speak French..
<p>Perfect tour. 2 interesting places to visit and enough time to do so. Easy pick up and drop back to hotel. Guide waiting in hotel foyer.</p>
<p>This tour was perfect! I took the private half day tour on my last day in Nepal. My guide Mr. Bishnu arrived on time. He explained the history and background in great detail. He took the time to make sure I understood what he was saying. I did not feel rushed at all as I was the only one on the tour. Originally I was not going to book the tour but go it alone. I know now that would have been a great mistake.</p>
