What to expect
Limited time in Kathmandu? This half day morning tour while riding a rickshaw is a wonderful, authentic way to discover this city of enlightenment and see many of what it has to offer. It starts with an early meet up with your English speaking guide at the Electric Pagoda Cafe to enjoy light snacks and refreshments before the tour officially begins. Hop on your rickshaw and prepare to explore, with a first ride from Thamel to Swayambhu Stupa. In this area, you'll see some of the most famous temples on the route. See the Indrayani Temple, with its thick atmosphere dedicated to Kali, then get a good look at Bijeshwori Temple, dedicated to the Buddhist deity Vajrayogini. Feel the presence of the deity Durga in the Shova Bhagwati Temple. Afterwards, visit the Nanyang Phelgye Ling Monastery, which has played host on various religious festivals and celebrations. The well-known Swayambhu Stupa itself and the Maha Manjushree Sarashwate Temple will also be tour stops before you spend a good long while in the Natural Museum of History of Nepal. Here, a collection of brilliant exhibits await you, allowing you to learn more about the flora and fauna of Nepal, and the country's natural environment. Then, you ride back to the city, across the river, and view Durbar Square, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the area, also known as Hunuman Dhoka. Your day ends with a ride through Indra Chowk, a ceremonial roadway that is the perfect end to your tour.
Reviews
So not worth the money, guide was not very understandable or knowledgeable.
I was unable to make the tour due to illness and they were very helpful with cancelling my arrangement, I have been told it's wonderful! I'd advise a face mask or scarf for pollution and dust, as well as bring a raincoat, you never know!
The personnel arrived late, without any notice, the three of us waited until 9:30 to stop the taxi, and after the trip, the whole trip was already 1 hour and 15 minutes, and it was hard to start. The guides took us to the streets, stopped rickshaws, and rickshaws visited the ancient city. I saw the guides gave 1000 Nepalese rupees, and the rickshaws were not very happy. I don't know if we pay more than 1,000 Taiwan dollars for one person? Originally told us to call two rickshaws, but we booked three people? ! I was going to end the ancient city. I asked, what about the Monkey Temple? The guide only stopped the taxi and took us up. There are a lot of places to go, and many places are passing by. Although we say that time is up, can't we cut so many trips like this? ! The return trip called us a taxi and asked us how much to pay for the KLOOK? The fare paid by me is far more than the taxi we call back! Although the tour guide is a good person, I am very dissatisfied with the itinerary! Let me be a little worried about other itinerary bookings! Hope this is just an individual issue.
Thank you for booking a road trip and leaving a comment. Sorry for the unpleasant experience, we have received your feedback and have forwarded it to your local service provider for verification.

Insider Tips:
- They say one of the most memorable ways to experience the Swayambhunath Stupa is by making it up the long staircase en route to the temple, which cuts through a forested hillside. The steps number to 365, but don't be daunted by this number – you'll have monkeys for company on the way up
