This tour was absolutely wonderful. The sunrise at Nagarkot was stunning, and the views of the Himalayas and Kathmandu Valley were unforgettable. The downhill hike through local villages was peaceful and a great way to see real Nepali life. Our guide, Shishir, was very kind and knowledgeable, and made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. The visit to Changu Narayan Temple was also a great cultural experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy nature, culture, and beautiful scenery in one perfect day in Kathmandu!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful day with this trekking experience. From the moment we were picked up, everything was well organised and smooth. Shishir, was excellent. He provided clear and insightful explanations throughout the trek and answered all of our questions with great enthusiasm. He was very attentive and genuinely passionate about what he does, which made the experience even more enjoyable. On our way back to the hotel, Shishir even stopped to buy a local yogurt so we could try it . A small but thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated. At the end of the day, he also gave us recommendations for local food. The scenery was beautiful, combining nature, local villages and views of the Kathmandu Valley. Overall, we were very happy with both the guiding and transportation services. To quote Shishir’s own words, which perfectly reflect the spirit of the experience: “Be like Buddha, calm and disciplined.” 🌿🙏

It’s definitely the best tour provider option we ever booked. Shishir’s knowledge about Nepal and the mountains are super! He is like a living Chatgpt. They picked us up with a very nice electric car and good driver. We started the day by catching the sunrise, had breakfast in small local shops, then started the hike for about 5 hours with many stops and he is also a great photographer too! If you are looking for a trusted guide and memorable experience in Nepal, this is the right option! Don’t think twice to book this tour, the 5 stars review here is for real! Thanks Shishir! You are the number 1 tour guide in Nepal

Had an awesome time with Shishir. A really thoughtful, thorough, and authentic experience where I sampled local cuisine, hiked and learnt about the local culture. Highly recommend this trip and you’re in great hands with your guide. Beautiful scenery and stunning landscapes.

Our day was so amazing with our guide, Shishir!! The accommodations were perfect. We had a beautiful sunrise morning, then got coffee and breakfast at a local restaurant. After that, the hike through the villages and forests were relaxing and fun! We toured world heritage sites with the panoramic Himalayas in the background of all our photos. Shishir was very knowledgeable and told us a ton of facts about the history of where we went! Things to know: You do not need water, they bring it! I would say bring a trail snack but there are also opportunities to purchase local snacks at the halfway point. Bring layers, it’s chilly in the morning. Definitely ask Shishir questions and also for his lunch rooftop recommendations after the tour!

A wonderful catered experience that begins with an amazing sunrise viewing at a perfect panoramic view point. The tour continues through villages where you can greet locals and a variety of animals. Then contrasted with a deep forest trail which leads you to amazing temples. All of this is wrapped up with an immersive dialogue about local culture.

We had an amazing day with this tour. Our guide met us at the hotel and we travelled to Nagarkot for a short walk to a vantage point to watch the sun rise over the Himalayas. Just magical watching the early light change to highlight the mountains in bright sunshine . We then drove to another lookout over the valley and a stop for breakfast. We chose the local food seller and really enjoyed the food! Back into the car for a short drive where we started our 11 km trek , mostly downhill , across the valley through villages and forest. A relatively easy walk. Last stop at the temple before a drive back to Kathmandu. Our guide was delightful, knowledgeable with an amazing knowledge of the mountains , including heights of each mountain on view, and general Nepalese statistics . Could not recommend more highly ! Shishir was just amazing . We feel very privileged to have shared Nepal with him
