Real culture shock - It was a sensory experience, witnessing Hindu cremation rituals along the Bagmati River.The mingling of smoke, chants, and mourners felt heavy yet sacred. I was Profoundly moved. The guides are very helpful and knowledgeable, they give me unique insights and special thoughts on this. A nice trip with local, more are getting explored.

Great satisfaction with a friendly guide - The two guides introduced us to the Pashupatinath temple with very kind and polite explanations. We had time to start the event again, but the guides made the best use of their time. The event was very crowded, but they made sure we had a good view.

Knowledgeable guide - The guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the history of the temple, the Hindu religion and the aarati pooja. Although it was extremely busy he did his best to find us a good viewpoint. I really enjoyed this experience and it was something different compared to the usual tours in the area. The guide gave me the history of some of the other traditions too and gave me advice on other places to visit in Kathmandu.
