A wonderful trip about view, culture, and hike - Seeing nagarkot sunrise is an amazing experience. The site is just suitable for enjoying this beautiful view. Our guide Shishir showed us about the mountain positions making this trip more meaningful. Also, he showed Nepal traditional customs and culture and plant knowledges to us during the trip to local village hiking. This is a wonderful trip about mixing of view, culture, and hike. Thanks for Shishir!

Best way for village life and tracking close to Kathmandu 🙏 - You are not guaranteed to see the sunrise and the mountains, so tour should only be done if you see the treck afterwards as something you fancy. The treck was beautiful and great, through nature and small villages, and you saw their day to day life. My guide Shishir was 10/10 🙏

Recommended if visibility is good - I had last minute change in schedule due to flight delay and the operator handled it very efficiently. The guide, Shirshir, was friendly. We did not have good visibility of the mountains due do weather condition but this was not in our control. The hike after sunrise was now difficult.

Great tour & guide - Great tour and Tej was a nice and insightful guide. The weather wasn’t perfect so a limited view (before April or September to October were recommended) but a nice walk and interesting stops along the way

Great tour guide - Did the hike with Pankaj, he was a great tour guide. Very hospitable and understanding. He catered the journey to my needs. Made sure I enjoyed my moment. Glad to come across a group of tour guides that are hospitable. Though the view is base on Mother Nature, the company was great.

Fantastic guide! - We had a wonderful time! Our guide Madan was extremely informative and personable. The hike was really interesting and beautiful and not physically demanding - it's almost all downhill. The sunrise was very unexciting because of the haze, but if it was a clear day it would have been excellent.

It can be a good trip - The tour agent was, indeed, the only one who proactively reached out to me days prior to my trip and provided information. It was very assuring to someone who travelled to Kathmandu the first time. The guide was professional and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the trip. If there's one thing I would like to suggest, please check weather forecast and talk to the locals first before committing because Kathmandu can be very cloudy and you may end up like mine that can barely see anything.

Himalayan Sunrise - Excellent company to do business with. However they cannot control the weather and it rained. Visibility from the vantage point was about 100 metres. The guide assigned to me was excellent and he gave me a great deal of information about Nepal and Katmandu. Anahal looked after me very well and assisted over the difficult bits on the hike down. I am a fit 78 and to Anahal's attention was very reassuring.
