We had an absolute blast !!! - The guide was lovely, walked us back to our accommodation, provided a lovely lunch. Gave us options for hike (short or long). He shared the history and the culture with us so we had insight. The van was clean and with great air conditioning. The trip was the highlight of our stay in Kathmandu. Definitely would do again.

Simply the best for activities in Kathmandu. - The whole experience of sight seeing and trekking with guide Pradip and the driver was simply outstanding. There was no rushing at any given point of time and guide was very informative. Kudos to the whole team.

Great one day experience in Nepal - It was a very nice experience. We booked a group trekking in Nagarkot to see the sunrise and the temple of Changu Narayan. Pradip is the best guide and we truly enjoyed the day! I would recommend it to anyone!!

- This tour was amazing! We didn’t get to see Everest because of the rainy season, however we got to see other mountain ranges that were breathtaking! We loved the light hike, walking through the villages, and experiencing the temples. Our guide, Pradip, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Would highly recommend this regardless of chances to view Everest!
