Highly recommend! - I had the best experience with this tour! ⭐️ I learned so much about history and culture of nepal! Every sight we have visited was worth seeing and beautiful! My guide Dipendra was also amazing! Very nice and knowledgeable and he gave me options to choose where I prefer to spend more time and gave me also free time to explore!

Culture and beauty around the Kathmandu Valley - Our guide Dipendra arrived right on time with a nice modern, clean and air-conditioned taxi. He took us to a series of very beautiful sites, rich in culture and art, explaining the right things to us without ever boring but still with a wealth of detail. Very attentive to our needs and patient. I recommend the tour to everyone, they deserve top marks, a+

KATHMANDU WORLD HERITAGE SITE TOUR - If you have a free day take the World Heritage Site Tour. You'll be stepping back in time as you wonder around the Bouddhanath Stupa with its steely Buddha eyes watching your every move,
We walked through the gates and followed the path that led to pagoda styled Pashupatinath Temple. Smoke rose from cremation piers, letting us not forget the hardships that are still befalling the citizens of Nepal, but added wonderment to their faith. The temple itself was closed to visitors due to Covid, but even though, throngs of people gathered to pay homage to their deity or loved ones.
Our next stop was Kathmandu Durbar Square, and yes there are indeed uncountable amounts of temples within this square alone...Each its architect trying to outsmart its neighbors' with the skill of carving wood.
Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)
One of the world’s oldest Buddhist Chaityas. The Great Stupa of Swayambhu is the glory that was Nepal.
We climbed the hilltop to the temple. Visited the Buddha Thanka Treasure An Exclusive thanka Paintng show room and listened to a talk about the history of Buddha. The young craftsman, and women who range in age of 13 -50+ who spend their lives following the art to become a master craftsman/woman who paint the glorious Mandalas or Thanka. Each Thanka more exquisite than the last that was brought out for us to see. No camera's allowed. My eyes strained to take it all in. Really a place worth the visit, and please sit a while and listen to the knowledge that is on offer to you. The owner Rajesh and his young daughter are amazing to listen to.
I hope you do take the time ...Namaste !!

Great tour. Avoid the lunch venue, if you value your pocket. - Mr. Deependra was a very well-versed guide. He gave interesting details of all places visited. The driver of the vehicle was experienced and gave us a smooth experience - especially while navigating narrow lanes. The only point we did not agree to was the imposing of the restaurant for lunch. Though the view was good, it was unnaturally expensive. The orders of all members from the diverse group were taken on a single order from and payment was made individually by the members. The tour organisers were obviously very well compensated for their business at the cost of the tourists. This is in very bad taste.
