Nagarkot and Changu Narayan Hiking Tour from Kathmandu - Great tour. Krishna was very kind, knowledgeable and talkative and I felt safe with our driver. The views from the hike were exceptional and the length was just right. I would recommend this tour for people that don't have several days to devote to trekking but want to see the countryside.

Nagarkot Hiking Tour - For me and my hubby trip was great. We fall in love in Nepal. Krishna our guide was very patient and kind. There was a lot of beautiful views. Definitely we recomend a trip from this office. Thanks also for helping us with PCR test. Menager Uttam is also so nice and kind and we are lucky to meet him. Thx for everything.

A brilliant trek with Krishna and driver - Prompt start from our hotel at 8am. The driver expertly negotiated us through the traffic to Nagarkot. We were fantastically lucky because the sky was bright blue and we began to see stunning views of the Himalayas as we drove up the hills out of the valley. Next was the observation tower where we got almost uninterrupted views of the mountain range. It was absolutely fabulous that morning. The hike took us through some small typical villages and we met many local smiley people on the way. Most of the journey was downhill with only a small proportion climbing upwards. The hike was about 4 hours. At the end we visited the temple at Changunarayan having stopped for lunch of momos part way. Krishna was a very knowledgable guide and was able to answer all our questions. He knew all about the Himalayas, about the local history, countryside, local way of life and all about the temple we visited. A very pleasant day out and Krishna had a good sense of humour and he made the day come alive.

Day hike with Krishna - Beautiful!! Krishna took amazing care of us and was so friendly, knowledgeable and very funny! The tour included a delicious lunch with a lovely view of Kathmandu Valley after meandering down through the gorgeous rural hillsides. The Changu Narayan temple at the end was breathtaking, even with the post earthquake construction. And walking through the town to get there was delightful and we couldnt help but buy some nice gifts for our friends there.

A Day Well Spent - We started our day early and this was unusual for me, but Krishna i.e Saarthi . He is a gem of a person and this couldnt hve been so much fun without him. Really good to hold conversations and a all time smiling face. He can talk over multiple topics as he holds knowledge in all. A content creator aswell .I would surely want to read your contents mate and i wish you all the best for future. I recommend him for any treck in Nepal.
