A lovely morning stroll - Our guide Deepak was really fun and informative, he was very laid back allowing us to walk at our own pace and full of information regarding Nepal, Hinduism, history, politics and more. The walk and view were beautiful and though it was very cold we arrived early enough to see the mountains before the morning mist and sun began to cover the view. The temple was beautifully decorative and a very interesting experience.

Very good experience! - Very good experience. Our driver and guide were excellent although we didn't have a great view due to the clouds. No fault of the company obviously. Found a great place for breakfast near the temple also. Better to pack your breakfast if you are running a bit late. Highly recommended!

Amazing Walk with an Amazing Guide - This was a wonderfully organized walk. Before we started, Shankar asked about our preferences to make sure the experience matched what we wanted. We had many questions about Nepali culture, and he explained everything in a very engaging and insightful way. He also adjusted to our pace and patiently waited whenever we stopped to take photos

Excellent and superb experience with Shankar and Sujen. - We are very pleased with our tour guide and driver . Shanker is very respectful, knowledgeable, kind, friendly and most of all, went above and beyond his duties as a guide. We will highly recommend Shanker to our friends and families. Sujan took us to all our destinations safely and promptly. Sujan is also friendly and kind. Both Shanker and Sujan made our experience in Nagarkot and Suspension bridge unforgettable and very memorable that will last a lifetime.

Great sunrise and hike experience - Razz (our guide) was professional and helpful guiding us throughout the tour. He was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The tour itself was a nice program, make sure you wear jacket for the sunrise as it can get pretty cold and windy. The hike is pretty easy and it gets pretty warm later on.

Exciting sunrise at Nagarkot followed by a chill hike exploring mountain villages and temples - Although it meant waking up very early, this tour was a chill way to experience local life in the hills of Kathmandu Valley. After an hour-long predawn drive from our hotel to Nagarkot, we were rewarded by a spectacular sunrise over the mountains. The vibe was exciting and the views were amazing. Next we stopped for some local tea with another beautiful view. After tea we began a moderately easy hike down the mountain ridge path, stopping at Buddha Peace Park and ending up at Changu Narayan Temple. Along the way, we encountered farming villages, forest paths, and welcoming Nepali people. From the early morning pickup at our hotel, our guide, Razz (pronounced like Raj with a z), welcomed us and made our morning hike an educational and inspiring experience. I strongly recommend our guide, Razz, and the sunrise tour for a great morning adventure.

Lovely trip to Nagarkot and Changu Narayan - While the weather was a bit trying (fog and rain), the tour of Changu Narayan and hike were lovely and the guide, Pramila, and the driver were excellent. Pramila provided excellent commentary and is very knowledgable about Nepal, the Kathmandu Valley and Hindu lore.
