Your Travel companion in Asia

This tour was a great way to see many of Kathmandu’s UNESCO heritage sites in one day, and I really appreciated the opportunity to visit places such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square and Pashupatinath.I was especially lucky to experience several local festivals taking place during the visit. The temples and squares were incredibly lively and crowded, which gave me a glimpse of the culture and atmosphere that I probably wouldn’t have experienced on a quieter day.However, I would definitely say that this is a very physically demanding full-day tour. There is a lot of walking, standing and moving through very crowded areas, and visiting seven heritage sites in one day can be overwhelming. I became quite exhausted and nauseous during the tour and unfortunately ended up vomiting near the end of the day. This was probably a combination of the long day, crowds, walking and the intensity of the experience, rather than something I would necessarily blame on the tour itself.Pashupatinath was particularly intense for me because the cremation ghats are active, and experiencing the smoke and smell of the cremations for the first time was something I found quite overwhelming. At the same time, I understand that this is an important part of the religious and cultural significance of the site, and it was a profound experience to witness.The guide Bikram and driver Deepak were really kind and helpful throughout the day, especially when I became unwell. I was grateful that they made sure I was able to return safely to my hotel.Overall, I’m glad I did the tour because I got to see so much of Kathmandu in a single day, and the festivals made the experience particularly memorable. Just come prepared for a long, busy and physically demanding day, and if you prefer a slower pace, I would recommend splitting the sites over two days.

We left the hotel at around 4:30 in the morning, and a private driver came to pick us up. He was very professional and drove as quickly and safely as possible to Nagarkot.Of course, we were incredibly lucky because we got to see both the Langtang mountain range and Mount Everest. It was an unforgettable experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.After that, we visited Bhaktapur Durbar Square, one of the three most famous squares in the Kathmandu Valley.Our guide, Bikram, is quite well-known in Taiwan. With his background in a master’s degree in religious studies, he was able to clearly explain everything about Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism to us in English.Through his explanations, we gained a much deeper understanding of Nepal’s unique culture and history.

Sumit Kharel was an excellent guide and teacher! He is both smart and witty having a vast knowledge in his culture and history that he's able to easily explain. Sumit was very accommodating as my flight into Kathmandu was quite late. Despite that, he was able to keep a quick pace enabling us to see all 7 sites which gave me a taste of Kathmandu. I would highly recommend Sumit as your next guide!

Brilliant tour. Bikram Tamang was really knowledgeable both about Nepal’s past and presence, but also about the rest of the world. Great many thanks for the tour to Bikram and driver Soraj (although we couldn’t see Everest). I can definitely recommend the tour.
