Excellent tour. Wonderful...
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!

Our guide Sekhar was...
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.
Operator response
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.

Nagarkot Trek - Ran 9.5 km
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
Operator response
Thank you for the comments. Next time, we will take you more longer hiking.
