Excellent tour. Wonderful time. Our guide, Sagar, spoke English very well and was extremely knowledgable on many subjects. He was really good at understanding when we wanted more information and when we just wanted to walk. Not long into the tour we were joking and laughing with him. The walk was relaxing, but the day was hazy so no view of the mountains. Great time anyway!
Thank you. We are happy that you had a wonderful day. We hope to see you in the coming days. Have a god day.
The most memorable part of this trip was the visit of the beautiful Narayan temple, accompanied by Lila (?), my lovely guide, very knowledgeable and open to exchange full of insights and reflection about society, religious and personal points of view. Thank you!
Thank you for a nice comments. We will always trying to our best to make your holiday memorable. See you next time.
Excellent guide Shekhar with local knowledge. Very happy to engage with us and answer all our queries Lovely walk with scenic views through local villages Good to get out into the countryside Amazing temple Please note that lunch is NOT included
Thank you for the wonderful comments. See you in your next visit to Nepal.
The track was wonderful. We got to see the Himalayan mountains, walked through villages, and our guide, Shikhar was excellent.
Thank you for nice comments. This our duty and responsibility to give our best to make your holiday best and memorable,
Our guide Sekhar was brilliant…friendly, approachable and had plenty of local knowledge. The only thing I will like to highlight is that it is unlikely to last whole day..5-6 hrs maximum. Hike is not that difficult but is picturesque winding around a hill and local village. Lunch is not included in the cost! Which makes the trip a bit pricy…. Including local lunch would be a better value for money.
Thank you for the suggestion. Our idea is to let them choose the food of their best. And some people like to add drinks etc.
It is an Easy trek , mostly downhill. I ran 9.5 km , the food was strictly ok , you have to pay for the drinks and coffee. The guide was good . The trek end at the Changu Narayan Temple. Do wear trekking shoes and carry your own water and some snacks
Thank you for the comments. Next time, we will take you more longer hiking.
