A Great Way to Learn About Kathmandu and Nepalese Culture - Getting to explore the temples of Kathmandu through Intrepid was a great experience! My friend and I had Shreejan as our tour guide, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend if you would like to learn about the history of Kathmandu and the culture of Nepal.

Great tour of Patan/Bhaktapur! - Roset was a great guide for this trip. He gave us extensive information about every stop we made and checked in regularly to make sure we were enjoying the trip. The sites (Patan and Bhaktapur) were also very interesting themselves and definitely worth seeing if in Kathmandu.

3 magical days in Kathmandu - I had three wonderful experiences with Intrepid travel, the main stupa and Pashupatinath temple on day one - a local Kathmandu panoramic hike on day two and a morning tour of the Darbar square and Monkey temple on day three. I’m very glad I booked these as I saw all the main sites of Kathmandu in just three days. The tours were well organised and I managed see everything I wanted in a short space of time. A big thanks for Yogi who was very conscientious and knowledgeable. I enjoyed our discussions about Buddhist and Hindu culture and history a great deal.

Nice Insight into Nepalese - I really enjoyed this tour! Asia is full of temples, sometimes so many that it can be temple overload. However, our guide Yogi gave us an in-depth explanation of each site we visited, gave us time to explore, and was able to answer all of our questions regarding the temples, Hinduism, and Nepal’s spiritual traditions. It was nice to have the backstory along with the beauty of Kathmandu’s religious sites. 10/10 recommend this tour and Yogi especially!!!
