Stunning Views, Wildlife Encounters, and Friendly Service - Our hiking trip in Nepal was absolutely amazing! We were incredibly fortunate to have perfect weather, and the majestic views from the top of the hill were simply breathtaking. To top it off, we even had the rare chance to spot a leopard, which made the experience unforgettable. My husband and I, along with our two daughters, aged 7 and 11, loved every moment of it.
Our guide, Umesh, was fantastic—he was punctual, arriving at our hotel on time, and throughout the journey, he shared fascinating information while maintaining a friendly and welcoming demeanor. One of the highlights was having breakfast at a local hotel perched above the clouds. The kids had so much fun playing with the dogs and baby goats we encountered along the way. Umesh also treated us to a special yogurt from Bhaktapur, which was a delightful touch.
Towards the end of the hike, our daughters were getting tired, and we had to cut the trip short. The management team was incredibly quick to arrange a vehicle to pick us up, which was very much appreciated. Their dedication and hands-on approach made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
Overall, this was an incredible adventure, and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the experience. Highly recommended!

Nice Trip Despite the Rain - We did the Nagarkot Sunrise and Day Hike to Changu Narayan Temple, and overall, it
was really good. Our guide, Pradeep, was excellent, very helpful and friendly.
There was some rain, which caused a bit of disturbance during the hike, but we still
managed to enjoy the views. The sunrise was okay, but a bit cloudy. Still, Pradeep
made sure we had a good time and kept us motivated.

Cool temple and the hike was good - The hike after was really good too. The views were spectacular and the hike was
appropriately challenging. It was really cool to finally see the temple, and Pradeep
explained everything very well.
We had perfect timing, even in the clouds. I would definitely recommend this trip

Great day despite the clouds - We visited Changunarayana during the Nagarkot Sunrise Day Walk and it was quite a
pleasant experience. Our guide Pradeep was great knowledgeable and really friendly. The sunrise was a bit cloudy, so we didn’t have as good a view of the mountains as we had hoped, but it was still beautiful in its view. Pradeep lifted our spirits and made the whole affair interesting.

Beautiful views - Great views of the Himalayas from Nagarkot, we were lucky it was so clear. Comfortable bus with water and tissues. Pradip, our guide, was friendly and informative, and we enjoyed the walk down to the temple. Would highly recommend!

The best tour company and time in Nepal! - I booked the Nagarkot sunrise and trekking before coming to Nepal and finally Today I had one of the best experiences of my life!
This tour has been the highlight of my trip here in Nepal !
The certified guide Pradip was super professional, nice and kind, and also thanks to great weather conditions, he let me experience the sunrise at the view point, overlooking the majestic - and pretty quite visible- Himalayas, then proceeded with a super peaceful stop at the Buddha space, and a 12 km amazing and doable trekking! He also showed me rural life of local communities respecting sustainable aspects of tourism, which I appreciate.
I suggest this company to everyone coming in Nepal! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
