5.00Madan was again my tour guide. We walked in the Kathmandu Durbar Square and downtown. We dropped by Indrachowk and I tried Yomari, a traditional Newari food. Again I have learned much from Madan, the Nepalese history, the culture and the stories about the Hindism and Buddhism. Rakesh, the driver, who picked up me at hotel and dropped me back at the hotel was nice and safe
Raghu Nepal's #1 Tour Guide

5.00I took my first solo international trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and it was outstanding, primarily due to the exceptional efforts of my tour guide Raghu Nath Pradham. I stayed 4 days, two nights in Kathmandu and one night in Nagarkot, touring the grand Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, shopped in Thamel, viewed an actual cremation ceremony at the Arya Ghats, walked across the Rani Jhula hanging bridge, viewed the vast Himalayans from my hotel balcony and so much more! It was an awesome trip. Raghu is not only extremely knowledgeable in the history of the Hindu and Buddhist religions and Nepalese culture, he was also a lot of fun to walk and ride around with. Very personable and understanding. Raghu knew when to step back and permit me additional time at an attraction that truly captivated me. My Nepal trip, which was initially meant as an educational experience, turned into an amazing spiritual adventure. I will not forget this 4 day trip, scheduled in the middle of my tight work week. I would not have been able to come up with the perfect itinerary on my own, nor accomplish all on the list, without Raghu's incredible organizational skills and knowledge of Nepal's lay out. Raghu, you are the best tour guide I have ever encounter. I am thankful my friends M and J recommended your services last month. Now you have three happy clients who adore you and will happily refer you to others.
Had a great time!

5.00Subash, my local guide, expertly answered all my questions regarding his city while we navigate the streets of Kathmandu. He is very knowledgeable about the history and the main religions of the city. I absolutely recommend this activity to those who decide to go to Kathmandu.
