Nice hike, Namobuddha is a beautiful sight - Very nice hike and Namobuddha was an interesting sight to see. I was unlucky with the weather on the day as it was very cloudy but there would have been some amazing views to see from Namobuddha. I had a great day and I recommend it

Guide was exceptional | Tour was tranquil - I'm throughly enjoyed our time tour with Raj. We booked the tour last minute (less than 24hrs before pickup) and on the same day as our flight back to the US (9pm).
Raj picked us up on time. Worked with us to understand our constraints and was extremely flexibly throughout the day.
The driver he had with him made us feel safe throughout the drive.
The ~ 2hr hike to namobuddah was beautiful and tranquil. Raj gave us the right amount of space and information throughout the tour. We had time to enjoy the hike on our own as well as ask many questions.
He allowed us to go at our own paced and also shared his personal experience growing up in Nepal with us which elevated our immersion in the country.
We would 100% recommend Raj to family and friends.

Day hike outside the city - We loved the scenery along the hike, outside the city, we can see the Himalayan peaks, and we visited several Buddhist monuments, monasteries including Namo Buddha at the end. Even went on a suspension bridge on the way back.

Positive experience - Beautiful excursion with a visit to the Namo Buddha Monastery. Too bad about the haze that I couldn't see the beautiful panorama of the Himalayas. Very professional guide and attentive to information. Excellent organization I recommend as a local contact for all hiking and trekking activities.
A thousand thanks

Nature, Culture, and Lasting Memories - This was a truly perfect and serene adventure. Not only did we get to see the some of Nepal’s beautiful mountains, we also got to see a snapshot of how the people live outside of Kathmandu. The people were exceptionally kind and friendly. And scenery was breathtaking with green terraced landscapes and snow-capped mountain peaks as backdrops. Prakash was an excellent guide— friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the outdoors and Nepal. This hike was our favorite part of our visit in Nepal and we’d love to do it again.

Amazing experience - I did two days of hiking with Prakash Rijal, he is very nice and told me a lot about the Hindu religion and the temples. Prakash Rijal was not just a guide, but a great friend.

Awesome experience! - During my stay in Kathmandu I wanted to go on a trek to discover landscapes and nature in the valley. Rupak took us to small roads and villages until the top of the mountain with the monastery. While hiking, he also shared Nepal culture and history, and was very kind with us. View was really amazing with Himalaya's in the back! Thanks for this activity!
