Kathmandu day trip

5.00Wow ! What a great day trip. Driving out of Kathmandu and up into the hills was awesome. The road was bumpy, under construction and closed at one point.But my driver Bijay was great, I never felt uncomfortable and he found a way around the detours. Ananda, my guide made the trip even better with knowledge of Dhulikehl, Panauti and Namobuddha. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Ananda and Bijay turned my day tour into a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Thank you.
Worthwhile booking!

5.00My recent tour was absolutely fantastic! From exploring the ancient streets of Bhaktapur to soaking in the breathtaking views of Dhulikhel and visiting the peaceful Namo Buddha and charming Panauti, every moment was memorable. A huge thanks to Ram for his warm hospitality and excellent guidance - he made the trip so much more enjoyable with his knowledge and friendliness. Also, a big shoutout to our driver for keeping us safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Nepal’s culture, history, and stunning landscapes.
