“Buddhi was great to work with....he was super responsive, very knowledgeable and helpful in our quest to helicopter to Mt Everest. He came by our hotel to review the trip and picked us up at hotel to go to the airport. Unfortunately, even though we were all seated on the helo and waited for an hour for the weather and limited visibility to clear up so we could take-out, the tower would not let us up. Safety 1st and we understand WP. Buddhi felt bad and got our trip refuned immediately. I would DEFINITELY recommend him too anyone considering a helo trip....We hope to return to Katmandu and try again.....”

Explore Kathmandu through momos, Newari dishes, lassi, tea, and street food with guide Deepak Kushwaha on a three-hour walking tour.
“This was a terrific food tour. I’d already spent almost three weeks in Nepal when I took the tour, so I didn’t expect to eat foods I hadn’t already tasted. I did, though. Deepak took us to fun spots that I wouldn’t have ventured into on my own. Do come hungry; you’ll eat a lot. Finally, Deepak is knowledgeable about Nepal and can answer any questions you have.”

“Had a fabulous day with Anon in Kathmandu. Great guide accommodating all requests, very knowledgeable and good companion! I did not do justice to Kathmandu trying to cover all 7 UNESCO sites in one day - probably worth 2-3 days - but Anon was very generous with his time, and we went well into the evening to meaningfully cover the itinerary. Krishna, our driver had been great too, very safe and careful transfer around the city. Has learnt a lot about culture, architecture, people, food, religion. A well balanced trip! Highly recommended.”
