Pashupati Aarti with my guide Ajit was heavenly! - My heritage tour in Kathmandu with Sublime Trails was good. Overall, Kathmandu was a beautiful city that worth the tour. We went to places like Boudha, Swayambhu, and Pashupati. I had dream of visiting Pashupati in evening for aarti. It was total blissful moment for me. Mr. Ajit, my guide was an amazing person. He helped me getting permit, photos,and in-depth idea of every heritage sites we visited. Overall experience with him was Sublime, just like the agency I booked this tour with.

My recent heritage tour in Kathmandu was amazing and much needed!! - My recent visit to world heritage sites on Kathmandu with Sublime Trails was good. It was a long due trip for me. Nepal was always on my mind to visit. However, until March first, I was dreaming this visit. Unsurprisingly, Kathmandu was one of a kind city I toured. I've been to many places in the world but trust me, Kathmandu was one of the best. I visited Swyambu, Boudha, Pasupathi, and other heritage sites in the city. My tour guide was Mr. Suman, a young and energetic guide from this company. Ram wonderfully organised this trip for me at most affordable rate. Also, my trip was made easy with a private car for an entire day. Loved the tour and Sublime Trails. Best company for me! I'd love to recommend this to everyone visiting Nepal. Cheers!!

Amazing World Heritage Sites tour in Kathmandu with Sublime Trails - As an ancient history lover, I always wanted to travel to Kathmandu. I knew there were some UNESCO World Heritage sites inside Kathmandu valley. The Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage sites like monkey temple, Swayambhu and Pashupatinath were best. But first, I had to get one local travel agency for this. I saw one decent company with excellent reviews on Trip advisor. Sublime Trails were travellers' choice. So it was mine. I reserved the Kathmandu sightseeing tour with them and paid in advance. Their online payment gateway was hasslefree. Also, Mr. Ram was always in chat with me. He was super responsive. Without hesitation, he replied to my queries. Also, his guides were amazing for this trip. The guide seems to have all the information of heritage sites. I wish I had some time to enjoy the view from Chandragiri Hills. But, it remained for my next trip to Nepal. My overall experience was good. They also dropped me to the hotel in Evening and to the airport the next day. Best service True professional.

Loved the vibes of Kathmandu. Amazing historical richness. - It may sound awkward, but I have wanted to go for a Kathmandu Sightseeing tour for a long time. I heard about the city, its history, temples, foods, and much more. I was desperately looking for a local agency that could make this trip possible. When I googled, Sublime Trails appeared to be the best company in Nepal. Also, they had some good reviews on Tripadvisor. I emailed Mr. Ram, the owner of the company. He replied to me within one business day. He also asked me if I need customization. I was fine with the Kathmandu sightseeing tour this time. I requested him to send me a decent tour guide for a historical tour in Kathmandu. My overall experience was good. The guide seemed to know many more things about the places we went inside Kathmandu. Also, in the evening, the guide dropped me to my hotel. It was truly an amazing homage from the company.

Lost in city of temples and revived my travelling passion - I had some idea of the fact that Kathmandu has some world heritage sites. I knew there were some but I wasn’t sure about their names. I googled ten best things to do in Kathmandu and found Kathmandu Heritage Tour as the best tour in the city. I checked the best company in the service. I found Sublime Trails, a highly rated company, as a trip advisor. So, I thought, let’s plan a Nepal tour with them. Mr. Ram was the manager, a kind person, and welcoming. His hospitality to the clients was fantastic. I requested him to give me the best tour guide, and he sent Me. Shiva as guide. Shiva with a french cut beard and moustaches, and his Nikon Camera, was fantastic. He guided me to Basantapur, Patan, some food stalls in Patan, Pashupatinath, and other places. I really enjoyed the day. The office also arranged a pickup and drop service for me. Thus, I had everything to be a happy soul. Truely, Kathmandu is the best place for the tour. Especially the local dishes, cultures, and yes, the temples. They are just wow. Thank you Sublime Trails. Thank you Mr. Shiva. Thank you for being the best local agency.

Kathmandu sightseeing tour, a true wonder! - I first would like to thank my guide Mr. Ajit for assistance during my kathmandu sightseeing tour. Also, Mr. Ram was wonderful tour manager. First,we went to Bhaktapur for sightseeing. Nyatapola temple, durbar square and siddha pokhari were best. We also tried local curd and some newari dishes. We also went to see Royal Palace, which is now museum. I was almost blown away by seeing it's elegance. I wonder how cool was the king to live in such place. Afterwards, we went to swyambhu for peaceful evening. Stupa was beautilly lit. It was an amazing experience.

Historic Kathmandu Sightseeing tour - Historic Kathmandu Sightseeing tour Last year, I wanted to do a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu before leaving for Germany. I was on a short holiday in Nepal because of my work schedules. This year, I managed to sightsee around Kathmandu with my guide Mr. Ajit. We first started our day tour from Kathmandu durbar square. Ajit came to pick me up at my hotel. Kathmandu durbar square was amazing to sightsee. We then visited Swayambhunath temple. The hilltop stupa and view of Kathmandu was amazing. Our next trip to Patan Durbar Square and Boudhanath stupa were amazing. We ate lunch at the best Thakali food restaurant. I must say, the Dal Bhat with pickle and goat meat tastes amazing. In the evening, Ajit took me to Pashupatinath for aarti. The aarti was amazing. I recorded some videos of aarti. Whenever I rewatch it, it calms me. I wish I could witness the prayer frequently. I want to thank Mr. Ram Khadka for arranging my sightseeing tour with utmost care. I look forward to some high altitude trekking on my next visit to Nepal next year probably!
