It's truly a very unique experience with the Shaman. Thanks to the translation from Prash , we are able to understand the history of Shamanism and also better understand ourselves. Healing process is comfortable and we feel relaxed afterwards.

This was an extremely fulfilling tour that covered 7 World Heritage Sites in a single day. Our guide, Rustam, was kind, knowledgeable, and above all, had a wonderful smile. If you take this tour, please be sure to request Rustam! I hear he also works as a mountain guide! Some of the World Heritage Sites are quite expansive or have many different highlights, making it very difficult for a traveler to visit all 7 in one day on their own. In that sense, this tour is efficient, and being able to listen to the guide's explanations about the history and deities of each ruin helps deepen your understanding of Nepalese culture. Also, I am deeply grateful for the incredible flexibility they showed—such as stopping by a souvenir shop I wanted to visit, treating me to the Ju Ju Dhau I had been wanting to try, and playing Nepalese pop music in the car at my request! I highly recommend everyone take this tour and experience the cultural richness and beauty of Nepal!

On time pick up. Our guide Bikram is knowledgeable and driver Suraj is safe in driving making the day tour smooth and comfortable. Hiking speed just nice for me and my wife. Hike terrain is easy to navigate. Weather is kind to us although we did not manage to see the sun raise and Himalaya mountains due to heavy fog.

good chef. have fun with small group of people. food is yummy. the only drawback is the teacher should let students make the food more often instead of they cook the majority time.

Our visit to Chandragiri Hills was excellent. Although cloud cover and fog prevented us from seeing Kathmandu, our guide Bikram more than compensated with his extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling. He provided fascinating insights into the site's historical significance, shared detailed explanations of Buddhism and Hinduism, and thoughtfully explained how the two traditions interact and coexist. Bikram's expertise and enthusiasm made the experience memorable. We highly recommend him as a tour guide.

I booked the tour about a week in advance, and it was very reassuring to be able to communicate directly with the tour operator via WhatsApp beforehand. Their responses were very prompt, and they not only sent the e-ticket but also genuinely helped with rescheduling options in case of bad weather cancellations, which allowed me to feel at ease on the day of the tour. On the day, the pickup arrived 10 minutes after the scheduled time, but it seemed that 10 minutes later was the actual pickup time, so we arrived at the airport without any issues. Regarding seating, although everyone was guaranteed a window seat, it was a bit disappointing that I unfortunately ended up with a seat directly over the wing when checking in at the airport counter. Also, it was quite cloudy on the morning of the tour, and I was worried it might be canceled, but after waiting for the weather to clear at the airport, we took off safely. Once airborne, I was incredibly moved to witness the magnificent, clear view of Mount Everest with not a single cloud in sight—it was beyond words. The wing, which I had been concerned about, didn't turn out to be a significant obstruction to the view. After the flight, I received a commemorative certificate, and I was able to meet up with the driver smoothly for the return trip. The support, from pre-tour assistance to on-the-day follow-up, was excellent, and I'm truly glad I went. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the spectacular views of the Himalayas up close.

What to know before visiting Kathmandu

Quick snapshot of Kathmandu and what people book

Kathmandu’s Klook bookings are driven by tours, cultural experiences and outdoor activities, with guided day trips and heritage visits taking the lead. Demand swings through the year, so the city alternates between busy months and quieter spells rather than holding steady.

Best times to go and how prices behave

Klook booking data shows July as the busiest month and September as the quietest. Prices rise and fall independently at times: the priciest month on record is January while the lowest typical prices appear in June. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for June through September; for a lively, peak‑season atmosphere pick July or January when demand and some price points are higher. Note that demand and prices do not always move together—June has among the cheapest typical prices even though nearby months can be busier.

Tips for travellers

Most visitors on Klook tend to finalise things close to travel: typical advance booking is only a couple of days, and last‑minute bookings are common. If your trip is short or flexible, you can often reserve tours and cultural experiences shortly before you travel; if you prefer certainty during the busiest months, consider booking earlier within the roughly week‑ahead window. Use Klook to compare schedules and options so you can pick experiences that suit how spontaneous or planned you want your trip to be.
