Magical day trip - This is a fantastic day trip to take from Kathmandu. Bhaktapur was quite the site, and it was made even better with my guide Prakash's extensive knowledge and wonderful energy.

Sunrise - Waited in anticipation for sunrise. It was great despite cloud obsuring the mountains. This trip is also so much more than the sun rise - Bhaktapy temples & and Pottery Square. Our guide Prakash was great & very prompt for the early start.

Nice in Nagarkot - An early start, back to hotel before 10am, was able to have breakfast and a nap! A good start to visit to Nepal, couldn’t see Everest but the sunrise was beautiful. Prakash & Mr Dennis were on time to hotel, some great driving from Mr Dennis on the ‘tricky’ roads up to Nagarkot. Visited Peace Park and then onto Darbar Square, Prakash was very informative and helpful

Great locations, great time, great guide. - An amazing experience visiting some truly special locations at times where we could enjoy them in relative peace! Prakash and the team at Attractive Travels and Tours are fantastic. We found our tour with Prakash and driver Dennis to be one of the best experiences we had in Kathmandu. Prakash was very knowledgeable, engaging and knew when to visit for the best times. He and our driver Dennis were excellent, we felt safe on the roads and under no pressure to rush. The best way to see Kathmandu and surrounds! I can’t upload photos for some reason but trust me, the views and sights are amazing, even with a bit of cloud. Thanks again :)

Himalayan Sunrise - The views were amazing and it was definitely worth the early start to see the full Himalayan Mountain Range at sunrise. Prakesh was really helpful and tailored the tour based on our interests. It was great to see Bhaktapur early when it wasn't full of tourists. Learned so much about Nepalese culture and history - thank you!

Excellent sunrise tour in Kathmandu. - It was great trip in Kathmandu with our guide Mahesh. He was an excellent guide, polite and educated person. It was nice sunrise and Himalayas view. Than Bhaktapur city is really beautiful city. So nice Nyatapola temple which is the tallest temple of Nepal. I enjoyed a lot from this tour. So I would like to recommend all for this tour in Kathmandu with this agency. Which is one of the best tour agency in Kathmandu. Tour operator Mr Prakash is perfect and responsive in this agency. I will definitely come to Nepal next year for Pokhara and Annapurna Trek with this agency. Namaste.

Outstanding experience! - This tour exceeded expectations in many ways. My guide, Prakash was excellent in all respects as was our driver. Communication beforehand with the company and with my guide was prompt and clear. They arrived on time and we had an enjoyable drive up into the mountains. Mother Nature smiled on us and we witnessed a spectacular sunrise and views of the mountains. Afterward we toured Bhaktapur and as we walked through Prakash provided information and valuable insights into the history of the area. The pace was relaxed, never hurried. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour coming in particular my guide Prakash Aryal.

Excellent Tour - Had an excellent day with my tour guide Prakash. I was a solo traveller from Australia so it was wonderful having a personal guide showing me around. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was very easy to chat with. He did not rush or hurry though but was thorough as we walked around. The driver was also punctual, friendly and safe. Could not recommend more. Excellent private tour.
