Day trek in Nepal! - Well I have almost finished my trip in Katmandu and after days of tours with shepherd holiday tours, I have seen all seven UNESCO sites, viewed Mount Everest and now I can say, trekked some trails of Nepal.
Thanks Umesh and Bandhu!

Hiking - The tour was really cool. Our tour guide was really nice and answered all our questions! He also had a lot of knowledge about the gods in Hinduism and showed us a local type of yogurt which was delicious!

Sunrise in Nagarkot - Great sunrise thanks to Ramesh who came to pick us up from the hotel. Everything is really great 👍. It’s definitely worth doing, it’s magnificent, even if we couldn’t see the Himalayan range because of the mist. Ramesh takes care of us and we learned a lot about Nepal even if we don't speak English very well. The little cafe was very nice and the return too, he even offered us a detour to see a temple if we wanted. I recommend this 4 hour excursion to see the sun. Danibad Ramesh

Great day trip, recommend - Great day trip. I was unlucky with the weather on the day as it was very cloudy so the views from Nagarkot were very limited but I had a beautiful hike through a rural area and had a great day out.

A walk through Nepalese villages - We wanted to see the sunset over the mountains but unfortunately there was too much mist/ clouds. The weather should be better in Sept/Oct/Nov.
The hike was easy and guided us across the small villages with great views! Can recommend.
This tour does not allow for you yo ho to the temple, just see it from the outside.

a nice getaway from the noisy city - Although the visibility in April is not great, still the walking route is very nice filled with local houses, forest trails and spiritual places. Both the driver and the guide were nice and very knowledgeable - a great and enjoyable conversation
