Worth a visit. - We had a good tour with Dipesh. Bhaktapur is a historic city and definitely worth a visit. Nargarkot is a good viewpoint of the Himalayas as long as there is no low cloud which we had and the visibility was poor but that’s the weather for you.

Amazing monuments area and view - This was an amazing experience of, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of Kathmandu region in terms of culture and monuments - Bakhtapur . Deepak was an amazing guide and he was very helpful changing a bit the timing for us and that helped with the experience . Everything was great and would recommend this tour

Hidden gem - Educational trip to a beautifully preserved area of pre/early colonial Asian history. Deepak provided excellent guidance throughout. The trip up to Nagarkot turned out less well due to the weather, but at least I had the chance to walk across a spectacular suspension bridge. On a sunnier evening you may well catch sight of the Himalayas in all their glory, as well as a sunset over the Katmandu valley. Thanks also for bringing back the phone I left in the car. If I have a tip, it's to start the trip at around 1230.

Inspiring Tour - This experience was more than I could have asked for. Shankar was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nepal and provided insight that was much appreciated. The driver was an expert at navigating the traffic and roads enroute to Nagarkot. I would highly recommend this crew and tour to anyone wanting a personal experience while visiting Kathmandu.

Insightful 2-Day UNESCO tour with Dipesh from Breakfree Adventures - I recently joined a 2-day tour with Breakfree Adventures, guided by Dipesh. The first day was spent exploring five UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, each brought to life through Dipesh’s deep knowledge of history and religious traditions. On the second day, we traveled to Nagarkot for sunrise, but due to heavy fog we couldn’t see it. Dipesh quickly adapted the plan and ensured the day remained memorable by continuing with visits to Changu Narayan and Bhaktapur, completing the UNESCO circuit. What stood out most was Dipesh’s patience and ability to explain complex cultural and religious details in a way that was easy to understand. He was attentive, understanding, and made the tour both educational and enjoyable. I am very grateful for his professionalism and kindness, and I would highly recommend Dipesh and Breakfree Adventures to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-organized tour in Nepal.
