Great Trip with Paras

Our guide, Paras, was terrific. He had a deep understanding of the city and its most meaningful sites. He was personable, knowledgeable, and fun. One of our favorite privately guided trips ever!

Absolutely unmissable! Unforgettable everything

I recommend not missing this experience, everything was incredible. Kathmandu has a truly incredible historical and cultural heritage, and seeing it in person is even more impressive. Paras, the guide, knows absolutely everything you could ask him, he is clear and provides a wealth of knowledge. He also helped with some great photos and was punctual and flexible when necessary. I will repeat tours with this company without hesitation, everything is very professional.

Great use of time

Really great way to see a some iconic destinations in Kathmandu if you're very short of time or trying to kill a day before an evening flight. Shankar (the guide) is very knowledgeable and had a lot of information to share, and having a private driver was also very handy. Recommended!

Blue Ribbon Guide for All-Day Tour

We hit the jackpot with our guide, Shankar. Shankar met us at our hotel and we sat down to discuss each of the sites. He gave us a lot of background and wrote the notes all out on paper that we then got to keep for reference. The driver met us all in a comfortable car. It is so valuable to have a driver taking you everywhere and getting you to the right location. Kathmandu traffic is best handled by an experienced local. All of the sites are so interesting and Sankar is a font of knowlege, and a good photographer as well. He was always happy to take our photo. We stopped for lunch while Shankar also had a break. Before leaving the restaurant, we had another presentation about Nepali politics and changes through the years. Again, all was written down for us to keep! We also visited an artist workshop where we had the opportunity to buy mandala originals at an "almost free" price. While we were walking in the area, three weddings with marching bands came through. It was an auspicious day for weddings and lucky for us to witness. Shankar is very easy to understand and he is an amazing font of knowledge. He explains things so well and writes so legibly, I guessed correctly that he had once been a teacher. Be prepared to pay all of the entry fees for the people in your party. If you go, I hope that Shankar is your guide!

Best Guide in Kathmandu!

Shankar was my tour guide for a full day tour of Kathmandu focusing on the 4 World Heritage sites. Shankar was deeply knowledgeable about the history and relevant details of each site visit and readily educated me as much as possible. The tour was organized and well-paced leaving time for luch and breaks. I would highly recommend Shankar to guide you during your visit to Kathmandu!

A Flawless Kathmandu Adventure with Paras

Our Kathmandu tour with Paras was an extraordinary blend of ancient heritage, and culture, meticulously planned and executed with unmatched professionalism. Our tour director, Buddhi, was exceptional. Our guide Paras— his deep knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and storytelling turned every temple, square, and market into a vivid journey through time. Driver deserves applause for navigating chaotic streets seamlessly, ensuring safety, comfort, and punctuality throughout the trip. For an unforgettable, stress-free immersion into Kathmandu’s soul, Himalaya Holiday Service is the absolute best—book them without hesitation!

Informative and interesting

Incredible city was enhanced by the knowledge and care from Paras on this tour. Was on my own but Paras made sure I felt safe and informed the entire time. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get an in-depth and complete tour of Kathmandu's main sites.
