Exciting tour with great guide & beautiful sunrise - We can see beautiful sunrise!! Our guide, Ananta, talked a lot & took many photos for us and never bored us. It’s a private tour, so we can enjoy at our own pace. It will definitely be an unforgettable experience!

Great Time Hiking in Nagarkot - I had such a great time with Ananta (my tour guide) on this solo hike. He was so fun to chat with, had a lot of knowledge, and really gave me the best experience. It was like going on a hike with a good friend! We first saw the sunrise and he showed me all the good viewpoints, then we went on a hike through Nagarkot where I was able to see the village and nature in Nepal, before concluding at Changu Narayana temple. Ananta showed me around the temple and explained its history. Gopal, my driver, was also very accommodating and efficient. I highly recommend this tour!

Spectacular Sunrise! - Seeing the sun rise over the Himalayas in Nargarkot was spectacular. Got lucky with a clear morning and we were able to see Everest! My guide, Shishir, was super—picked me up promptly from my hotel at 4:00AM and our driver got us there in plenty of time to climb the Lookout Tower just before the first rays started to appear. Shishir is easy going and answered all my endless questions. He took a ton of amazing photos, which he shared with me while eating breakfast. The hike through the villages was relaxed, with so many picturesque vistas, passing through Buddha Peace Park and ending at Changu Nayayan—the oldest temple in Nepal, dating back to 464 C.E. A morning not to be missed!

Mountains and hiking for those who cannot stay longer - This is a great tour option for anybody who has limited time in Nepal but would still like to experience seeing the mountains from a distance as well as get a little hiking into the trip. Tour guide Shishir and my driver were great. Shishir answered all my questions and was very informative. I would recommend this tour.

Thank you for best guide - Shishir was the best guide. That was rainy day but I totally satisfied Nagarkot sunrise and hiking. He made me try to see sunset evening. And also he made me try some Nagarkot village wine and some snack by his kindly asking people for me. Thank you everything you did.

A lovely introduction to the Himalayan range. - Our travel guide in Kathmandu drove us to this lovely locale at the foothills of the Himalayas. Daring our outdor lunch the clouds suddenly parted to allow our view of the Himalayan range. What a beautiful site!! Then we took a stroll through the rolling countryside to get a feel for serious trekking.

Shishir is the Best Guide! - Even though the sun remained behind a veil of fog, I had a wonderful trek with my guide Shishir Thapa. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient and kind. Breakfast was delicious Nepali food and Masala tea. Walking through the countryside had wonderful views. It was a great experience! 1000% recommend!

Peace away from the city - Really enjoyed being in nature for the sunrise and strolling through some villages to reach some spiritual sites to meditate. Pankaj, my guide, was wonderful! He was very flexible with my needs and helped me get my coffee fix. I had a delightful time learning from him on Nepalese culture and the Hinduism/Buddhism sites we visited.
