A wonderful walking tour

Madan was again my tour guide. We walked in the Kathmandu Durbar Square and downtown. We dropped by Indrachowk and I tried Yomari, a traditional Newari food. Again I have learned much from Madan, the Nepalese history, the culture and the stories about the Hindism and Buddhism. Rakesh, the driver, who picked up me at hotel and dropped me back at the hotel was nice and safe

Operator response

Raghu Nepal's #1 Tour Guide

I took my first solo international trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and it was outstanding, primarily due to the exceptional efforts of my tour guide Raghu Nath Pradham. I stayed 4 days, two nights in Kathmandu and one night in Nagarkot, touring the grand Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, shopped in Thamel, viewed an actual cremation ceremony at the Arya Ghats, walked across the Rani Jhula hanging bridge, viewed the vast Himalayans from my hotel balcony and so much more! It was an awesome trip. Raghu is not only extremely knowledgeable in the history of the Hindu and Buddhist religions and Nepalese culture, he was also a lot of fun to walk and ride around with. Very personable and understanding. Raghu knew when to step back and permit me additional time at an attraction that truly captivated me. My Nepal trip, which was initially meant as an educational experience, turned into an amazing spiritual adventure. I will not forget this 4 day trip, scheduled in the middle of my tight work week. I would not have been able to come up with the perfect itinerary on my own, nor accomplish all on the list, without Raghu's incredible organizational skills and knowledge of Nepal's lay out. Raghu, you are the best tour guide I have ever encounter. I am thankful my friends M and J recommended your services last month. Now you have three happy clients who adore you and will happily refer you to others.

Operator response

We look forward to welcoming you back! Kind regards, Breakfree Adventures Nepal. +977 9851014557 (WhatsApp)
