2 great tours with Badri

5.00Badri is a great Nepal guide! Together with my partner we had two tours. One day 5 sights in Kathmandu and the second day we experienced the sunrise over the Himalayas. You had to get up pretty early for that, but it was worth it! Thank you Bardi🙏
Great tour guide in Nepal

5.00We had a great time with Badri. After doing a trek, we had some time to explore Kathmandu and decided it was easiest to find a local guide. Badri was really knowledgeable and kind. We went all over Kathmandu including Durbar Square as well as the ‘Money Temple’. Highly recommend Badri and the team for any tour, long or short!

Spiritual trip from Kathmandu to Mt Kailash

5.00It was a spiritual journey from the 3 days temple visit in Kathmandu and the 10 days journey through Gyirong, Lake Manasarovar, Saga, Darchen, Mt. Kailash, and the Dolma La Pass, every moment was extraordinary. Mr. Sobit organized the entire trip smoothly, from the moment I arrived in Kathmandu and completing the spiritual parikrama pilgrimage at Mt. Kailash. His planning ensured the whole experience flawless. A Special thank you to Mr. Sobit and his amazing team for making my spiritual journey smooth, memorable, and truly unforgettable.
