Exploring Kirtipur, City of Gliry

5.00Shaker was an excellent guide. Explained all in great detail. Went at our pace and did not rush. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend.
An interesting, informative tour to less-visited temples

5.00It was a very pleasant day tour to some temples that are quite far away from the city center in Kathmandu and therefore are not visited by tourists (I did not see a single tourist on the whole day). In contrast to some other tour guides in Nepal, this tour guide provided a real service, that is, he shared a lot of interesting information on the temples and also cultural background. He also accustomed the tour to my needs. I guess, he extended the tour by showing a couple of more temples because otherwise we would finish too early.
