Scenic day tour from Kathmandu - Our guide Umesh together with Sangeet the driver provided a very enjoyable, informative and relaxed day out visiting Dhulikhel, NamoBuddah and Panouti. We appreciated their flexibility allowing us control over the times we spent at the sites and Umesh’s knowledge of the areas and his patience in answering our many questions was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this tour.

Dhalikal, Naumabuddha, Panauti - Great day trip! I’m glad for the walk through villages, seeing the dramatic scenery up close. Dharma knows a lot about the different temples and explained the mythology very well, as well as Buddhist and Hindu beliefs. Would not have appreciated the nature and history without his knowledge

Great day trip - Had an amazing experience visiting Namo Buddha, Panauti and Dhulikhel. A special thanks to our guide Dharma and our driver Ganesh for making the trip so smooth, comfortable and memorable. Dharma was very knowledgeable, friendly and explained the history and culture of every place beautifully. Ganesh drove safely throughout the journey and made us feel completely comfortable during the trip. The entire experience was peaceful, well managed and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting these beautiful places in Nepal !!!

These are three unique... - These are three unique experiences in villages around Kathmandu. We enjoyed them all and our wonderful guide, Kumar, definitely enhanced our knowledge and understanding of the historical significance of each location. Kumar was fun, patience with all our picture taking, and a great story teller. Our driver was amazing too, navigating the muddy streets! We highly recommend this tour!
