A great tour. Highly recommended - Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Yogi was excellent. He gave us some good information about the temples we visited and let us know the whole time that there was no rush and we were free to stop for photos etc at any time. He ensured our safety at all times with good safety guidance and a watchful eye. The trainee guide was also good, helping keep us safe . The tour itself was fascinating. The biggest Buddhist stupa we have seen on our travels, at the Boudhanath. Temple. Very beautiful and enjoyed the stop at the art school. Beautiful paintings and interesting to see some of the artists at work. At the Pashupatinath Hindu temple , we watched the Aarati ritual before cremation on the banks of the river. So interesting and very spiritual. Thanks Yogi, and your trainee. We enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.

A wonderful day with Nikita - A fantastic experience with Nikita. We were instantly made to feel welcome and had a great day. We learnt so much about Buddhism and Hinduism at some truly beautiful temples. Nikita was incredibly knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had. We would definitely recommend if you want to get a taste of the cultural and spiritual aspects of Nepal. There were also great and interesting additional activities including a sound bowl demonstration and palm reading. A great day overall! Everyone we interacted with at Kathmandu Urban Adventures were professional and so helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Shreejan rocks - Informative and interesting tour that takes you past many imposing attractions of Kathmandu. Due to the heat around this time, the tour is a small challenge. Kudos to Shreejan from Intrepid.
