Spectacular sites, thorough explanations - Great exploration of four of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu. Pace was good. Shankar was previously a teacher, and it shows: he gave in-depth introductions to each site and patiently answered all of questions. A very educational tour of some stunning sites.

Great visit to Kathmandu! - Fantastic morning with Shankar! We visited 4 UNESCO sites and ended with lunch overlooking the stupa. Shankar had a gift for explaining the intricacies and significance of what we were seeing and experiencing. He is a natural teacher! Shankar is genial, thorough, thoughtful, and his English is excellent. Our visit to the burning ghats was the most Impressive part of the morning. It’s thought provoking and well worth your while to visit, especially from a Western perspective.

Highly recommended tour of 4 UNESCO world heritage sites - We had a lovely private guided tour of 4 UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu. Our guide Shankar Bhattarai was very knowledgeable and balanced in his explanations and answered all our questions with interest. He even accommodated us visiting 2 extra sites per our request, without compromising our experience or rushing us anywhere. We learnt about Nepali culture, Hinduism (and the similarities with India) and Hindu mythology. Highly recommend this tour to immerse yourself in Nepali culture, history and heritage and see the beautifully preserved temples, stupas and architecture.

Perfect way to see the sights of Kathmandu - We had a great few hours seeing what we wanted to see and learning so much about the history and religion of Nepal. Our guide was knowledgeable & courteous and the timing for each UNESCO site was perfect. It sure made sightseeing in Kathmandu easy. We recommend it.
