Exceptional company - What a wonderful company! I had 36 hours in Kathmandu, and was looking for a blend of culture, history, and nature. Buddhi is incredibly helpful and transparent — not only did he arrange a day-of, reasonably priced private tour of Kathmandu with the knowledge and lovely guide Paras, he also sat down with me in person to walk through what an Everest helicopter tour entails the day before we were looking to fly. Incredibly ethical company, you’ll have a top-notch experience. Thank you, Buddhi and Paras!

Take me to Kathmandu! - Paras was fantastic, very knowledgeable. If you haven't been to Kathmandu yet, it's a must stop. The culture, the people, the history, the food all fantastic. The driver was awesome too. I highly recommend this tour and these fine people. The hospitality is top notch.

Great Kathmandu Tour Experience - Well-organized tour, with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We did the Mt Everest helicopter tour (with the same tour company) in the morning, then did this Kathmandu highlights tour in the afternoon. Just like the morning tour, we were impressed by how well-organized this tour company was... being able to cover most of the "can't miss" tourist sites in Kathmandu in such a very short time... and we didn't feel rushed at all. Pacing was right, and schedule was dynamically updated/adjusted as we went along. Paras, our tour guide, was an excellent story teller, which kept me and my wife very interested aboit the different places that we visited. A big bonus is Paras' excellent photography skill. He's a great help in documenting your Kathmandu memories. This tour company is very highly recommended if you want to visit Kathmandu.... and if Paras is available when you schedule your tour, I very highly recommend him.

This is a must see in Kathmandu -
While in Nepal, we used several companies organizing trips. The impressions were different. Kathmandu tour is definitely worth its decent price. The guide and driver arrived on time. The car was very comfortable. A very communicative guide with extensive knowledge and experience. I highly recommend.

100% Would Recommend!! - Such an amazing tour 10/10 would recommend! Paras and Buddhi were both fantastic. We got to see all of the major sites + much more. Their knowledge of each place was tremendous. Our trip to Nepal was made by these two.

City Tours/ Everest Helicopter Tour - Our guide Paras was absolutely brilliant on all 3 days. He was punctual, polite, intelligent and informative - with a good sense of humour too. He’s without doubt the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. Behind the scenes Buddhi was organising all the timings and pickups - his personal attention was second to none. He visited our hotel to run through the whole itinerary for the Everest Helicopter Basecamp tour - with breakfast stop off at the Everest View Hotel. The whole experience was faultless.

More than just a city tour - Great tour of the city and surrounding area! While waiting for a helicopter tour to the base camp due to bad weather, the operator offered to use the option of a car tour to the sights of the city and surrounding area. And it didn’t disappoint! In the shortest possible time, we saw everything we wanted and even more! Dawn over the Himalayas, Temples, squares and other attractions of the city - all with stories and answers to any questions! Guide Paras is a master of his craft and an incredibly pleasant person, for which he deserves special respect! No rush, complete adaptation to the needs and wishes of the group - I have never seen anything like this in many many trips. Five points!
