I had an incredible experience with my guide, Bijay. He knows how to answer every question. Bijay is a pleasant young man with a wealth of knowledge.

I had the honour of exploring Kathmandu with Bijay. I highly recommend him as a guide to help you discover the city. He’s funny, intelligent, and always in a good mood. Every request, every question, and every philosophical thought about life in Nepal is answered with passion and knowledge. He’s great company, he feels more like a friend than an impersonal guide. We talked about Buddhism and Hinduism, he helped me buy the best natural incense, and he’s always there for you without ever being pushy. He is truly the person you need to guide you through the wonderful, exciting, beautiful, and hectic Kathmandu. Thanks to him, it became an experience I will never forget!

I have been in Kathmandu for a week and there are so many beautiful things to see everywhere. The authenticity of the place literally carries you. Accompanied by Bijay, I learned a lot about the culture of this beautiful country. I find a wonder that I had somewhat lost 🙏

Travel with my grandson, very well organized by Bijay with 3 specific visits: Patan, Baktapur, Kathmandu. Bijay explained Nepalese cultural and local life very well. It was quite suitable for a 10-year-old. Think of Bijay if you are considering a trip to Nepal.

Super nice and very professional guide. A beautiful fluid organization as part of a journey based on spirituality 😀. Walking around Bodnath’s stūpa every morning and participating in a ceremony in a monastery for an hour is an exceptional meditative experience. Attending a funeral ceremony in Pashupatina is a highlight.
