Great day - Experienced a magnificent sunrise over Nagarkot followed by a dusty but exciting hike! You will get very close to the people and their villages and also see some more temples along the way. My guide Sujan could provide me with a lot of interesting stories so the 14km went by really quickly and we enjoyed a good time. Thanks again!

Wonderful - village life & scenic overviews - Enjoyed this tour with my guide Manoj. This was a wonderful last day in Nepal. Manoj was very friendly and provided plenty of time for taking in the views. I enjoyed seeing everyday life in the mountains. The only bummer was no sunrise view due to the clouds, but I imagine it's spectacular on more clear days.

Great Hike and Day - The guide and driver were on time and very friendly. The views were amazing. I was a party of one, and I enjoyed the follow-on 3-4 hour hike with Manush talking about Nepal and other topics of interest. He was very friendly, well knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible (I wanted to walk more and faster - so he found longer routes). I would recommend this company.

Morning was overcast, so no sunrise... - <p>Morning was overcast, so no sunrise. Stuff happens. Hike wasn't overly scenic. Not sure whether or not all the pieces of broken stone and garbage were a result of the 2015 earthquake. Guide Sonika was decidedly unprofessional. Before I knew it, I was buying coffee for her and the driver. At 3 times the local price, of course. Guide was a woman who seemed uncomfortable that I wanted to hike in silence. It seemed as though she expected me to entertain her even though I was a paying guest. She even, quite inappropriately suggested that she and the driver should receive a tip. She even went so far as to suggest how much. And, she seemed in a hurry for the tour to end. Found that Luxury Holidays Nepal Pvt. Ltd tours were a little overpriced for what you were given especially for Nepal. Again, I wasn't expecting a private tour. Would have preferred to interact with other traveler's on the tour as I was solo stated as much when I booked the tour.</p>
