Friendly guides, amazing sights, and a relaxing yet meaningful day trip - Highly recommend! Bidhya was a knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and accommodating guide, and Madhu was an excellent driver. In addition to the sites, Bidhya was able to show me a wonderful place to buy handmade art, and also helped me find a great coffee shop when I needed a caffeine boost. Learning about Buddhism, Nepali culture, and history made the visits to these sites so much more meaningful.
