“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.”

“An unforgettable day tour in Kathmandu! We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our day tour in and around Kathmandu with Asmita. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish — the car was new, spotless, and very comfortable, and both the driver and guide arrived exactly on time. Everyone spoke excellent English, which made communication effortless and enjoyable. Asmita, our tour guide, was truly outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and patient.

Her storytelling brought everything t...”

Hike from Nagarkot through Nepalese villages to ancient Changu Narayan, with Himalayan views, private transport, and an English-speaking guide.

“My guide, Shekhar, was very knowledgeable, professional, and easy-going. The view of the various mountain ranges, from the tower, were good. The hike was not strenuous, the Tea and lunch were very nice. The only negative was the amount of litter that was present throughout the hike. This is not the fault of the tour operator but did take away from the overall hike.”
