We spent an amazing day with Rustam in Bhaktapur. He is very knowledgable and told us a lot about the history if this place and the culture.
Incredible experience I highly recomend. The guides are very knowledgable and friendly! Best part of my trip in Nepal!!
The sites we visited were amazing and full of surprises. Bhaktopur provided us with sensory overload. The Monkey Temple offered views, history and culture. While the grand stupa simply must be seen to be understood. Our guide Rohit was a wealth of knowledge and our drivers made us feel section the hectic traffic of Kathmandu.
Really had an excellent trip with friends nd family where the car service was fantastic. Guide Noor was very nice, cooperative and was good human being also available at dot time, when needed. I will like to plan all my future trips with Mr. khum (unique adventure international ) with friends. Thqq so much Mr.khum for making our trip unforgettable nd All the best 👍👍
Khum is one of the most trustworthy people to deal with in Nepal. Not only did he make my trip memorable he helped me from not getting scammed by others. He helped me even when I travelled out to other cities in nepal. He became a good friend. Highly advice to deal with him blindly. Thank you Khum and your company for this lifetime experience in Nepal.

It sounds like you had a great experience with Unique Adventure International during your visit to the monkey temple! Having an informative and patient guide can really enhance the trip. It's wonderful to hear that they were so helpful and accommodating throughout your visit.
I’ve had a wonderful two weeks in Nepal. After some sightseeing in Kathmandu we went to Pokhara to explore the city and to start the Nayapul-Ghorepani Gandruk trek. I really enjoyed the trekking and my trekguide Elmi made me feel very safe and comfortable. Also after the trekking he took care of everything that a tourist needs in a foreign country which made my last week touring around the cities another great experience. Elmi is a very professional and reliable guide who is always ready to help. You will not only see the touristic areas but also have the chance to take a close look withing the local culture when you travel with him. Thank you for everything Elmi! Ebru Gezer
