Original Gurkha Knife Making Activity Tour in Kathmandu 4-5 Hrs - I've been to Nepal a few times over the years and whenever I return I always use Happyland Treks. Bimal is one of the nicest and most helpful people you could ever meet. During my 1st time with Happyland Treks I completed Annapurna Base Camp trek and for the 2nd visit I done the Pikey Peak trek both very different but equally rewarding treks. Upon my return this year I didn't have enough time to do a trek but still wanted to see a part of Nepal that you maybe don't typically see and Bimal helped out and I decided to go along to the Gurkha Knife making course which I would highly recommend as you get to see how the knives are made the traditional way and also get to trial some of the skills out. It's a great insight to part of the culture. I would highly recommend Happyland Treks to anyone who is looking to do trekking or sightseeing in Nepal, you won't be left disappointed.
