Fantastic Kathmandu Day Tour with Rajesh! - We had an amazing experience exploring Kathmandu with Frolic Adventure, and our guide Rajesh truly made the day unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and religious significance of each site we visited, including Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Swayambhunath. His passion for his country and culture shone through every explanation, and he was always happy to answer our questions in detail.
Rajesh was also friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the tour. Everything was perfectly organized and timed, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. If you're planning a day tour in Kathmandu, we highly recommend Frolic Adventure — and be sure to ask for Rajesh!

Informational and Fascinating Tour - The day tour included places all around Kathmandu, such as the Monkey temple, the Palace, the Bouddahanath, Durbar Square, the Kumari, Art galleries, and Pashupatinath. Rajesh was very knowledgeable about the history and stories of each place, and allowed time for a bit of wandering, inquiries, and photos. We drove to most sites, but there was a lot of walking from place to place as well, so comfortable shoes are a must!
It was overall very fascinating and a wonderful way to spend the day exploring and learning.
