Earn a cultural experience through your steps - We were led by Razz, who was not only knowledgeable about the route but the culture and religious questions we had. He was patient when we needed to slow or pause. While not perfect, his English was proficient and we had no trouble communicating. We had a great time!

Brilliant trip - A very good trip with Razz, who made the journey and experience very easy and knowledgeable. The weather was not the best as raining all day but our driver sujan did a fantastic job of getting us there and was very safe. Great trip and very worthwhile. Would very much recommend.

Wonderful views and a breathtaking trip to the monastery - We had a brilliant day trip. Our guide was super helpful and fun and we got some amazing views over the hills and mountains. To top it off, the Buddhist monastery was breathtaking. Such a cool thing to see... we weren't expecting it at all. We would definitely recommend.

Thank you Subash!! - I am very glad I have spent such a lovely day hiking towards the Namobuddha monastery and discovering the beautiful green valley around it, an oasis of peace and beauty away from Kathmandu. Subash, my guide, was not only knowledgeable in describing every detail of the cultural, political and religious life of the region, but also very generous in human terms. He rediscussed with the agency in my favour some unclear conditions about meals between Tripadvisor and Viator. He even spoiled by buying me oranges on our way back as soon as he heard that I had not been eating fruit for a long time! I couldn’t ask for more, thank you!!🙏

Real Nepalese and Buddhist experience outside of the city - The guide has such a passion for local Nepalese culture and encourages new experiences on the tour. He even spontaneously organised me to cook lunch (dal bhat) with the locals! I loved doing something for a day that was outside the city, in local towns (seeing ‘real Nepal’) and experiencing something new and not traditionally touristy. The guide was very knowledgeable about the monastery and both Hindu and Buddhist religions, so I learned so much. Everything was well organised but also flexible - we stopped for masala tea multiple times. Thank you!

Loved it - . Pradeep was our guide, he was so nice & very informative.We loved this one day hiking trip..It was a 16km easy walk up to the monastery.Unfortunately for us it was a very cloudy day so we didn’t get to see all the amazing views along the way, but once we were up there the views were awesome.The monastery was just beautiful & lunch was great..Would highly recommended this tour for anyone who wants to get out of the busy city.

Great way to start Nepal experience - Just finish the tour and it was awesome.. just what we were looking for to get us started on Nepal experience. Our guide Pradeep was very informative and his knowledge was impressive.. our driver Ravi was great as well and felt very safe travelling through the chaos of Nepal traffic.. together Pradeep and Ravi made a great team. Hiking through villages, and thru villages back yards and the hills was a cultural experience.. not hard walk so could soak it all in. We stopped for lunch at Phoolbari, means flower garden, in a village over looking the hills, it was very picturesque and traditional food is always a must experience.. it was delicious. Thank you for a fantastic day hiking.

The Namobuddha Monastery... - The Namobuddha Monastery is a site well worth a visit. Perched high on a hilltop with a 360° view, one can't help but feel that there is something special about this place. Arriving on foot, after a 2-3 hour hike, makes it even more meaningful. Unfortunately, the day I visited the air wasn't clear and I did not see the white peaks of the Himalayan range. Instead, I saw firsthand the devastation of the recent floods and landslides.
