Watch sunrise over the Himalayas, hike through villages and forests, and visit Changu Narayan on a practical day trip from Kathmandu.

“Please note that there is, in fact, a considerable amount of uphill walking included with this tour. The itinerary states the walk is downhill, but that isn't strictly correct. However, thank you for an enjoyable half day tour. My guide Ananta was extremely helpful and informative. I was picked up on time and enjoyed being transported in a very comfortable vehicle. The driver was very good and provided an excellent service. I thought I had booked a seat on a group tour, but this turned out to be a private tour, so I had the full attention of the guide. Ananta was always closeby to offer a stabilising arm if…”

“The views were amazing, we could see the mountain peaks and the sunrise even though it was a little foggy. We were given enough time to take pictures or enjoy the view. There was also a hike to a waterfall and suspension bridge. Some parts were a little steep and the steps were uneven but our guide Pradip helped me and tried his best to ensure that I was comfortable and didn't fall. He also checked in with us consistently and made an effort to get to know us and share everything he knows. Thank you so much for this wonderful hike 💛”

Driver did not know the route and we got lost in the mountains. The guide was a nice individual, other than that Overall bad experience.”

Unfortunately for us there was no sunrise as it was a foggy cloudy day but the views were still fab and it was very peaceful. The buffet breakfast was lovely with plenty of options.
