Wonderful hike and wonderful guide! - Absolutely stunning walk! We had a wonderful time, views were incredible and the hike really lovely and accessible. Our guide Ram was fantastic, he took very good care of us, my mum wasn't feeling well and he was very attentive, so she had a great time. We also learned A LOT about the area and about Nepal. Couldn't recommend more!

Great view, awesome guide - Sunrise was amazing and the hike was very nice. Our guide Ram was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and spent much of the walk explaining many things about Nepalese culture and the history of his country. He took us to some local spots for breakfast and lunch which were incredible. Highly recommend

Excellent Sunrise view and hike with great Guide and driver - Our guide, Umesh and driver have been great. Umesh is knowledgeable and able to explain the history and culture of Changu Narayan. Nagarok Sunrise Trip was totally worth waking up early. Umesh also brought us to see water fall and village through a hike. Hike is a little tough due to our own fitness level but we still manage to finish with Umesh's guidance and patience. The transportation is also excellent, we were picked up from our accommodation. Overall, a positive experience. Strongly recommend for people visiting Kathmandu.

That was amazing - An absolutely breathtaking experience! Watching the sunrise over the Himalayas from Nagarkot was magical, and the peaceful hike to Changunarayan was the perfect way to connect with nature. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about the local culture and history. If you're in Kathmandu, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a mix of adventure and serenity. A must-do!

Hike to nagarkot with sunrise - One of the best and easy hike with water fall and local tamang heritage site. We got good experience of people living and we get good mountain range like langtang and manaslu as well as some more small peak.

5 star trip with a 5 star guide - We had a fantastic trip, the guide was amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgable. We were treated to a perfect sunrise and thanks to the guide managed to be in exactly the right place and the right time. I’ll definitely be using this company again.

Sunrise trek - The sunrise didn’t show through the fog and mist but the tour day was still well spent. We trekked through several villages and stupas/temples. Umesh was an excellent and flexible guide and shared cultural and history insights .
