Three tours in one and well worth the money

That was such an enjoyable experience with a wide variety of sites and views. Each of the three parts of the tour was beautiful in a different way. I especially loved the hike being in beautiful wilderness. Bikram, our guide, was wonderful and very approachable and our driver Bhawani got us where we needed to go safely. Well worth the money.

Good overall tour :)

Air quality has apparently been bad this year, so we weren't able to see the mountains at sunrise, but I really enjoyed the tour overall. Thank you!

A great Mix of History and Nature

My guide, Sajan, was kind and helpful, and was willing to take me to Rani Jhula bridge even though it was raining. We did not get to see the sunrise, but the tour was still very interesting because of his knowledge about Nepal’s culture, customs, and history.

Amazing!

Our guide was Nissan-and that says it all! Professional, cheerful, and kind, he told us so much about life in Nepal and showed us some truly wonderful places. We were lucky enough to see Mount Everest at sunrise, and then descend along a quiet trail accompanied only by birdsong and breathtaking views. We also stopped to admire a waterfall. Crossing the suspension bridge was a lot of fun, and Nissan-like a true professional photographer—took beautiful photos and videos of us that we will treasure forever. Along the way, we also saw a temple, many village homes, domestic animals, and the authentic local way of life. Unforgettable memories! Highly recommended. Thank you, Nissan!

Good Sunrise Tour

Great tour with beautiful scenery and a stunning sunrise, even though the mountains were hidden by the weather. We enjoyed walking through rural areas and visiting Changu Narayan Temple in the peaceful early morning. Our guide, Newar, was fantastic — very positive, supportive, and made the whole experience comfortable, especially during the more challenging parts of the trek. Highly recommend this tour, and Newar as a guide!
