Touring Patan and Bhaktapur with Sanjeeb. - It was a lovely day spent touring Patan and Bhaktapur with INTREPID’s guide Sanjeeb. I recommend Sanjeeb for his knowledge of Nepalese history and culture. He was able to answer all questions I had and he gave me very valuable tips while in Nepal. He also takes great photos!!

Katmandú adventure - I had a great experience doing this tour, specially because of yogesh, our tour guide. He was very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, patience, respectful and easy going. He was able to explain about the history of the city and the temples and as a plus he help us taking amazing pictures of the places. I really recommend this experience and specially Yogesh as a tour guide.

Learn about religions in Kathmandu in one night - I learned so much about Buddhism and Hinduism in one evening! Tour Guide Bini shared information with context and compassion for my ignorance. With her and Rickshaw biker, my tour was jam packed with destinations. By the end of the night, I was thankful to understand and see so much.

Wonderful experience - My friend and I had such a wonderful time with Shreejan. He answered all our questions, and he was great at figuring out what we already knew and adjusting to tell us more in-depth information when he learned what we were already familiar with. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
