The most memorable tour in Kathmandu, 10/10

We had the most beautiful experience in Kathmandu with Shishir today. We were picked up from our hotel & went to Nagarkot for the sunrise & mountains view. We was lucky to find the clear weather after last night rain. Hiking through the local villages & forest part was very beautiful & memorable. Shishir knowledge about history, culture, nature & mountains was so amazing. We shared many knowledge during the hike. Visiting ChanguNarayan temple & Bhaktapur durbar square was so amazing history & culture to witness. We felt very lucky to share this beautiful day with Shishir. We will keep in touch for our next visit. Take care Shishir, we heartily recommend everyone to take this tour in Kathmandu, you will be thankful at the end.

This was an unforgettable adventure and would not have been the same without my lovely guide Shishir! From the pickup to our local breakfast to our trek across the different villages, the views were out of this world and Shishir and I had an amazing laugh all through the day.

The most beautiful day in Kathmandu with Shishir

Thank you so much Shishir for an amazing tour and we will remember for our lifetime. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to Nagarkot for the sunrise view. We had the clear weather and we saw the panaromic views of the Himalayas with sunrise view. Hiking through the local villages was the true glance to see the mountain peoples life and very scenic too. We visited ChanguNarayan temple at the end of our hike which is a very unique temple in Kathmandu. This tour gave us true opportunity to see mountains, hiking, culture & tons of information about Nepal. Shishir's knowledge was so deep & he shared everything we wanted to know about. We stayed 2 weeks in Nepal & toured around & this was the most beautiful & memorable one. The driver Gopal had the great skill to drive through the mountain road & Kathmandu traffic & very safe. We can't recommend enough this tour. Simply go for it, you will thank me later. All the 5 star reviews here are true. See you next time Shishir, we love to find you as our guide again, hopefully next year for the base camp trekking 😘🙏
