All in all a successful experience with a very nice guide, Ghan. - I was picked up at 4:45 a.m. from my hotel in Thamel by my guide Ghan in a private vehicle and driver. About an hour later we arrived in Nagarkot. After the sunrise at the View Tower, we drove to a Nepalese restaurant in Nagarkot, where we had breakfast (noodle soup) and from there the hike to Changu Narayan started. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't see much of the sunset, but the subsequent hike was very beautiful and went through various villages and forests. Ghan was very informative and explained a lot. It was clear that my well-being and pleasure was important to him. We were back at my hotel in Thamel around 12:00 p.m. It was a great experience, even though we didn't see the sunrise.

Great experience - Great hike, great communication and attention. Lovely guide. Enjoyable conversation and very knowledgeable. Very easy to make the plan and the location was convenient. He kindly lent me, free of charge, walking sticks for the duration of my 12 day trip. I would highly recommend you use this guide. What's app is best for communication upon booking.

Stunning sunrise and scenery - The hiking was an amazing experience from start to finish. Watching the sunrise at Nagarkot was absolutely unforgettable. The breathtaking scenery created memories that will last a lifetime. The tour was impeccably organized. My tour guide Ghan was not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. Throughout the hike, he provided insightful information about the area, making the journey even more enriching. Ghan's knowledge of the route was impressive. He showed me some secret spots that were perfect for capturing stunning photos. This hike is beginner-friendly and suitable for most fitness levels. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the nature. Highly recommended!

Great walking tour outside Kathmandu - This tour was a great way to spend a day outside the city. Ghan, our guide, was super fun and a great guy to spend time with. After an amazing sunrise looking at the Himalayas and a very good breakfast in a local restaurant, we went hiking for about 3:30h, where we had great views of the mountains and the valley. It was also a nice opportunity to see how is life in Nepal outside the city. Despite not being professional hikkers, we didn’t have any problem to complete the long walk. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Very happy with the whole experience. - Had a great time on the day hike. The sunrise was really enjoyable to watch with great views of the distant surrounding mountains with some awesome photo opportunities. Day hike wasn't too hard by any means and just really refreshing and a fantastic opportunity to see the local countryside. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and just all around good company.

Nagarkot Trek Ghantatsic - Fantastic trip, Ghan was really helpful and informative. The first half is downhill through villages and a temple. The trek then goes slightly Uphill, but is not too challenging. Breakfast was also tasty. Highly recommended!
