Nagarkot Sunrise - This is a very good experience. Early start but worth it. You do see Everest but it is way better n the distance. The mountains you can see are stunning, especially as we had amazing clear weather. The track afterwards was also very pleasant and not too onerous. Good shoes are a must even trainers.

See places normal tourists don’t see but appreciate the helps you appreciate the culture. - Madam was an amazing guide. Hiking through the rural parts of Nepal was very eye opening and something most tourists don’t do. Madan was great explaining rhe history of the area as well as the temples. Great price. Be easy to walk.

Intimate Cultural Walk Experience - A great, intimate way to see the different villages and how the Nepal people live. Met so many friendly ppl and animals through the walk. Although we were not able to see the sunrise views due to the fog, definitely a trip worth doing. Had great, buffet breakfast as well.

Highly recommend! - Had a lovely day out with our guide, Shishir. He was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all questions I had about his hiking/trekking experiences and general facts about Nepal/Kathmandu. We had breakfast at a local cafe which was a nice experience after the sunrise. We were also lucky to have excellent weather and he was very informative about the mountains. He helped take many photos which he sent later on. I particularly liked that Shishir walked at a pace that I could keep up at and was happy to chat and explain about the villages that we passed - I'm sure it was extremely slow for him! An excellent tour and will definitely recommend him to other customers and my friends

An experience worth visiting - The Himalayas looked very beautiful. Watch the sunrise and then breakfast at the hotel overlooking the mountain range. Then we trekked. It was a great experience to see the lives of the locals. In particular, our guide Shishir Thapa was very easy to talk to and explained very carefully.

Amazing hike! Would highly recommend! - Could not recommend this experience more as a solo female traveler! It was an amazing day. The experience starts with a seamless pickup and drive to the sunrise lookout point, where we saw the Himalayas peeking through. Then, there is the option for either a local breakfast or international breakfast. After that, you start the hike. The hike is about 3 miles downhill. After 3 miles you can either stop and meet the driver or continue on for 4 more miles. I opted to continue my hike! It ended at a beautiful temple. My guide Pankaj was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about Nepal with me. Would highly recommend!

Himalayan sunrise, walk in rural areas - We enjoyed the view from Nagarkot, the sunrise. It was great to enjoy the sunrise because the weather was good. The hike was a little different from what I expected. I always thought I would enjoy seeing the vistas of the Himalayas, but like hiking in a rural area, I can't see mountains too far away. It is interesting to see the life of farmers who keep cows, chickens and goats in terraced fields and gardens, in a different way,
