Kritipur is a must do when in Kathmandu - Kirtipur is an amazing insight into a simpler way of life and the depth of complexity of Nepalese culture. Our guide Shreejan was wonderful. The tour included a delicious lunch in the home of a Kirtipur local. Highly recommended.

Great way to get a feel for Kathmandu! - This tour was a great way for me to get a feel for Kathmandu while I waited for my group to arrive. Our guide Nikita was knowledgeable and our rickshaw driver skilled at navigating uneven and busy streets. There was a great combination of moving through the hustle and bustle from the rickshaw and then experiencing stupas and holy sites on foot. I highly recommend this!

Rickshaw - The tour was great, went through the old town and saw traditional markets and temples off the beaten path. Yogi, the guide was great and very knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely wouldn’t have known to come to most of these places by myself or knew the cultural significance behind them
