I had a very short layover but I booked the tour when I landed late at night and next morning we met at 0830 and finished at 1800, it was just me and another spanish lady, along with our guide Mr. Rajan and driver Mr. Ram. We visited 7 UNESCO heritage sites which included the ones which were destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. Mr. Rajan told us about the history about how Kathmandu came into place and it was earlier as Kasthamandap and the temple it was named after. There on he was super supportive of us while we wanted to click pictures and he has absolute knowledge about the sites and clearly states the significance of it all. He informed us about the largest stupa-Boudhnath Stupa in the world, Oldest Hindu Temple-Changunarayan Temple, and the tallest standing temple that survived the 2015 earthquake Nyatopola, Bhaktapur Temple. He is and excellent photographer and will direct you to the best Momo in Nepal. I truly recommend him for Kathmandu tours. Keep growing Mr. Rajan! JMMJMM :))
It was great to cover 7 Unesco Heritage sites in Kathmandu with Dipender (tour guide). Dipender is very knowledgeable, he provides background information that's crisp and not boring. I recommend trying the Newari or Nepali thali for lunch at Bhaktpur. Their bara (lentils fritters) are delicious 😋. I appreciate the ease and flexibility of doing a private tour. Dipender was patient as I walked a little slow and took a lot of breaks while climbing the steps. Dipender also helped me to plan my day for tomorrow and suggested good momo joints close to my hotel. I am satisfied with the tour. Just a side note, the timing for Pashupatinath temple opening is limited (8 am to 8.30 am and 6 pm to 6.30 pm), so if you want to enter the temple for worship (only allowed for Hindu), then you will have to do it separately. The timing of this tour doesn't coincide with temple opening times.
Dipendra and the driver did a great job during the tour.
I had a wonderful half-day tour covering the 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu with our guide, Dipendra. It was an excellent way to experience the rich history, culture, and heritage of Kathmandu in a limited amount of time. Dipendra was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and very professional. He shared fascinating stories and historical context at each site, making the experience much more meaningful than simply sightseeing. He also managed the itinerary very efficiently, ensuring we could visit all the key sites within the half-day tour without feeling overly rushed. His local knowledge and warm personality really made the tour special. He was happy to answer our questions and went the extra mile to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kathmandu, especially if you want to see the major UNESCO heritage sites in limited time.
great guide and driver with flexibility! would recommend again. need to tell in advance expected total entrance fee required as it requires local currency only.
I had a very good time with Dipendra the tour guide for the day. I did this tour by myself as a solo traveller. We went on a rainy day but this is not negatively impact the trip. I highly recommend this tour because of the beautiful location, cultural heritage and historical knowledge. My tour guide was very knowledgeable in explaining to me parts of Nepali culture and history. I was able to shop as well as this is what I wanted to do. The tour guide was happy to adjust to adjust to the activities I wanted to do. A bonus is Dipendra ( tour guide) takes good photos.
The tour was very efficient, organised and flexible. Dipendra was very passionate and knowledgeable. Will certainly recommend this tour.
We took this tour on a Saturday morning 8:30am in 1 June, it was pretty quiet due to low season. We get to see more locals than tourists afrer 10am which is very interesting , see how locals enjoyed their time here. it was great to have Dipendra around as he is very knowledgeable and friendly / funny. however it was too much information in a day, I’ll suggest you do 3-4 spots in a tour, give yourself some time to explorer the history all in all, I still love this tour and had great time with our guide , Dinpendra😀
Rajan is an exceptional guide who goes out of the way to make sure your tour is nothing short of magic
Full day tour around Kathmandu and the heritage sites. Guide Raj was accommodating and very knowledgeable about the history. However, would suggest to input in the description and info to bring 6000 rupees for entrance fees which are not included in the price.
