Go on this tour to see another side of Nepal! - This is an amazing tour and Shishir is a great guide: knowledgeable and highly adaptable to the different needs of our group. Afterwards - as it was our last day- he went above and beyond to recommend and take us to a great place to buy handmade paper and shawls. Fantastic guide!

One of the best memories in Nepal - Big applause to Shishir, my dear guide, for making this tour a very memorable one! Unfortunately, the weather was hazy the whole morning and couldn’t enjoy the mountain view, but the sun rise was so beautiful and more than that, the trekking walking down the mountain was simply the best! Watching the mountain village people’s daily life was beautifully simple and peaceful. Shishir, the guide, was also having a wonderful hospitality mind and always took me some pictures as well as kindly providing me all the information about Nepal, history, temples, etc… I will make sure to book his tour once again when I come back to this magnificent country! Big thanks once again to Shishir!

Excellent trekking in Nagakot - We did the sunrise and trekking in Nagarkot. Had a wounderful day with Shishir. We weather was perfect with clear skies, so at sunrise we could even see MtEverest from a viewpoint. After local breakfast we did a 13 km trekking trough villages and forests. Very nice tour.

Amazing day from start to finish - Amazing experience! The whole day from pickup, breakfast, and the walk through gorgeous local villages and the forest was amazing. The temple was incredible and Shishir knew a lot of interesting history. He was a delight to talk to through our hike. I'll definitely be back in touch with him when I'm in Nepal again for another trek :)

Lifetime experience- 1 day in Kathmandu with Shishir - We had an unforgettable tour experience with our guide Shishir. We were picked up at 4:30 am by our hotel and drove for 1 hrs to arrive at Nagarkot. It was a great appreciation by the tour operator that we were heading up to the mountains while the whole City was sleeping. The Sunrise view from Nagarkot view point was unbelievable, we never saw before the sun was rising just above the incredible Himalayas. The weather was so great that we saw all the mountain ranges including Mt. Everest from the distance. The second stop for the view was amazing too. The most memorable part of the tour was hiking through local villages. We saw the real local people and their activities, mostly doing farm work. Approximately we walked 8 miles mostly downhill to arrive at the oldest Temple of Nepal ChanguNarayan. The Temple visit was the reward after hiking, great to see beautiful architecture and deep insight. We couldn't thank enough to our number 1 Nepal guide Shishir who made our 1 Day in kathmandu most unforgettable. We highly recommend everyone not to miss this day.

Helped us capture the beauty, art, and history of Nepal - We loved our tour! We got very lucky with the weather and we’re able to see so much of the mountain range! Shishir, our guide, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about everything he showed us and you can tell he really loves what he does. This was a very good experience and helped us understand more about this beautiful country.

Great one-day hike in Nepal! - I had an excellent time on this one-day hike. I started with an early morning pickup at my hotel followed by an approximately one-hour drive to the countryside for a sunrise viewing. Then we embarked on a roughly 8-mile hike through various villages. It was incredible. The guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Definitely a physical activity so bring some good shoes and ensure you can hike somewhat uneven terrain for long periods. Highly recommended!

People of Nepal r of high integrity tourist friendly - My best experience of Nepal in my recent visit was it is a country where even the poor r dead honest n police function selflessly. I forgot my travel bag with passport, cash being carried at a shoe stand outside Vindyavasni temple, Pokhara when I later realised having forgotten the bag at the temple shoe stand I rushed back there with heavy palpitation. To my utter surprise I found that the bag was deposited by the woman caretaker of temple shoe stand with the police post in the temple. The police man on duty selflessly handed me the bag without any expectation after identifying me from my passport without a single note missing from currency in it. I duly thanked the woman care taker of shoe stand rewarding her for her honesty displayed. People of great integrity

Beautiful sunrise view and hiking - Shirshir was friendly and very knowledgeable. He picked us up timely from our hotel at 4 am so we could have the perfect sunrise view. I loved the hike back down the mountain through the local villages. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kathmandu.
