Very individual and personal.
We spent three days travelling with our guide Narayan. The sunrise tour to Nagarkot with waterfall and impressive suspension bridge on the way back, and a hike to Shivapuri Peak (with overnight stay and return on the 2nd day). Day) were among them. We also visited Bhaktapur and Lalitpur-Patan as part of these tours. Narayan proved to be an excellent guide and explained everything worth knowing. He responded to our individual wishes, was competent and very friendly. We were particularly pleased that he also made contact with locals.
