Highly recommend to visit in July - I had Shanti as my tour guide. She was well informed and answered all my questions and had so much detail to share - she's literally like a walking encyclopedia. She did her bachelor's in tourism and masters in nepali history and culture which explains why she knew so much info. She also gave good pointers on where to take great photos which was very helpful. Also, coming in July which is the rainy season, is better because there's less tourist and you get the perfect shot without the crazy crowds. And for the 3 days I was here, it only started raining heavy after 9pm or midnight so pretty dry and sunny during the day. I would highly recommend this tour and Shanti. My driver was also really good - safe driver and was friendly.

Amazing culture and history tour - What a fantastic day! I’m a bit of a nerd learning about Hinduism and Buddhism and my guide,Pankaj, explained so much and helped me feel right at home. His insight into the culture and history was so helpful! He protected me from the monkeys and made sure I felt safe walking around some of the traffic areas. Highly recommend Pankaj and this tour to get immersed in Nepalese culture.

Awesome day tour of the Seven World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu. - My wife & I had an awesome experience on this day tour, guided by Shanti, a very professional tour guide. She has an educational background in tourism and it clearly manifests in the way she conducted this tour for us. She is knowledgeable, familiar with Nepal's history, culture and current affairs. It was amazing how she was able to guide us through the whole tour within the allocated time, despite challenges with local traffic and the weather. Highly recommend this tour if Shanti can be assigned as your guide.

The best tour company - Himalyan Planet Adventures P Ltd - I had initially planned to stay in Kathmandu for 4 days and was planning to go do the jungle tour that is a little away from Kathmandu. Well, as we all know that plans change last minute and so we ended up staying in Kathmandu for 6 nights. I must tell you that I was so lucky to have booked this tour UNESCO Heritage site tour because this tour was organized by an amazing company Himalayan Planet Adventures P. Ltd. So going back to this tour, it is a long day, but if you plan to be in Kathmandu for short period of time and cover all the historical sites, I highly recommend it. Otherwise, you could divide it into two days which this company offers. Anyhow, after this tour, I would contact the co-founder of this company and he has the patience of an angel. I would describe what I like to do and he would recommend and advise me on a good trip. So all 5 to 6 days, I was in communication with him and he made my stay in Kathmandu very fulfilled. I did all the sightseeing, the sunrise hike (was not able to see mt. Everest - the weather was too foggy), and Chiandrigiri Hike. This advisor has a sincere love for his country, he trains these advisors with hospitality skills. I am planning to come back to Nepal soon since I only got to see Kathmandu. When I do come back, I will definitely contact this company directly instead of through Viator. I would like to do their 14 days Everest base camp trekking and just tour around Nepal. I would like to especially thank Shanti whose smile and laughter were contagious. I would make jokes and after spending two to three days, we would joke around like we were good friends. I can still hear her laughter in my ears. I would like a shout-out to Shishir, with whom we did the Chiandrigiri long-day hike along with two stray dogs I fell in love with. Shishir is like a peaceful warrior. After 3 or 4 dys of tours, I wanted to go hike in a peaceful mental state and Shishir would offer to take photos, but never interrupted my zen. His presence felt so natural to me and I appreciated his beautiful big smile. I cannot wait to go mountain trekking with him in near future. Last but not least, Nabaraj, organized my daily trip and even offered to organize my Bhutan trip which I should have asked him because the company I worked with in Bhutan was not as half as good as Nabaraj. He even made time to have a coffee and was such a personable gentleman. He sincerely wishes the best for Nepal and I really support his vision. I highly highly recommend going through this tour company. I have never done any tours before this trip with India Nepal and Bhutan, but because of the experience I gained from this company, I shall seek out tours in future in everywhere I go.

A Perfect Day in Kathmandu! - I'm so glad I chose this as the way to begin our holiday in Nepal! Rabina took excellent care of us. She is an expert in the historical and religious significance of Kathmandu's UNESCO listed heritage sites. She showed us the best places to eat, explained local customs and even taught us a few phrases in Nepali! Our driver navigated the busy streets masterfully and was both friendly and courteous. I can't recommend this tour enough to first-time visitors to Kathmandu. Rabina took all of the stress out of planning the day so we could just enjoy it. She took plenty of photos and videos too! Thank you for an amazing experience, Rabina! AAA+++!!!!

A great memory making day - A wonderful experience of these heritage sites. Bought to life with my guide Shanti Karki’s vast detailed knowledge of the history and purpose of these holy places. Always explaining and describing in a professional manner and checking if I have any questions or would like further information or clarification. A full day that ticks all the boxes. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Shanti was a great guide. She’s very knowledgeable about the sites. Good thing! She asked whether I wanted to visit the cremation site, to which I politely refused. I had a wonderful time. However, it would have been better if the price was more affordable.
