Exceptional touring experience made my trip to Nepal richer

Deepak was my guide for several days at end of April 2025. He was flexible, kind, and offered unique touring opportunities. He is very knowledgeable about religious and spiritual life here. Food tour, craft tour, Changunarayan village tour and hike, and visit to UNESCO sites were all exceptional. Deepak patiently answered my many questions and even helped me sort out a cell phone problem. This trip of a lifetime was made even richer thanks to Deepak and Yak Thung Travel and Tours.

The tour was excellent. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was always looking to make sure I had a good time. I also liked that this tour was a bot more remote (45 minute drive from Thamel) so there weren't big crowds and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Great hike with Anjal

Anjal was fantastic hike guide. She explained the wildlife and the area as we travelled through. The views were spectacular, with a great shot of the Himalayas through the trees. It is a gentle walk suitable for all. I would highly recommend.
So beautiful!

Start early in the morning because this is a long hike. October is the perfect month to do this hike as the weather is absolutely lovely. Snacks and water is highly recommended as always (you already know that if you’re a hiker like me). Stopping often to listen and viewing the birds is a must. I’ve seen several species of beautiful birds. You’ll pass by villages, just wave at the locals as they like seeing hikers. The breathtaking view of the valley is the perfect time to take pictures. I took a deep breath as I reached the temple because this is one of the enjoyable hike I did in Nepal.
