It was an exciting, impressive tour, especially our guide Nabin made this tour an unforgettable experience! He told us many details and gave us an insight into what happened that we would never have had without him! He also responded very patiently to all our wishes and questions and explained everything to us very understandably.

This tour was truly the height of my trip. Everyone should see the fascinating interplay between history and culture. The cremations against the backdrop of holy men all in a tableau of bulls and monkeys has to be seen, photos can't capture the business and solemnity of this place.

I had an in-depth and extensive tour of Pasupatinath temple with Nirajan who was very patient in guiding and navigating through hidden paths of the temple. It was a truly remarkable experience to learn about Hinduism, and witness spiritual practice of the devotees, particularly the cremation process and the evening aarti ceremony. A very distinct & a must experience in Kathmandu

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and patient. This tour provides plenty of time to walk around and through the temple. We were able to learn and understand many new things about Hinduism and local traditions. We highly recommend this to her to understand culture and tradition in Kathmandu.
