An amazing tour. Best guide ever. - Santosh was an amazing guide. He shows me narrow alleys, wide courtyards, royal palace and living goddess Kumari but i was not that lucky to get a blessing from kumari as there was a rituals going on. Recommend this tour to others to see authentic culture of kathmandu valley especially of newar community.
