The food was great, served hot, I enjoyed the great service and food a lot. As soon as I finish my food they ask me if I want more and they just add, very generous and kind. All the waiters and people there are very kind and accommodating. What a great service. The performance is good, not the best but good. Overall this quality and amount of food plus a traditional nepali performance is such a great bargain for what I paid for. I will definitely Vlog about it, will comeback and bring my family and friends☺️❤️ highly recommended for theprice

The meeting point was quite crowded, and it was a bit challenging to get there, but that was all part of the Kathmandu experience on this tour. The food was more about enjoying a variety of local snacks little by little, rather than eating a full meal. It was really interesting to try different flavors at places only known to locals. Everything was delicious, and I ended up feeling completely full. In addition to the food tour, we also had a guided walk through the historic streets, so it was a great way to enjoy both food and sightseeing at once. Our guide was always attentive, even on crowded streets and uneven paths, which made us feel safe and secure throughout the tour. We were also very lucky to have a female guide in training with us. She enthusiastically explained not only the tour content but also the daily lives, customs, and culture of the Nepalese people, and she patiently answered all our questions. The tour was incredibly rich in content for just three hours, allowing us to deeply experience the local charm of Nepal. I highly recommend it.

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.

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.

We had a fantastic Nagarkot sunrise day tour! Even though the sunrise was completely hidden by thick fog—nature has its own plans, after all—the stunning mountain views and serene landscapes that unfolded later made the entire trip well worth it. ​A special shoutout to our guide, who was absolute perfection. They were punctual, highly knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating throughout the day. Their great energy, local insights, and positive attitude kept our spirits high even when the morning sun didn't cooperate. ​If you're looking for a hassle-free and memorable trip to Nagarkot, I highly recommend this tour. Excellent service from start to finish!

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.

Smarika is an extremely cute and friendly tour guide. It would be very difficult to find authentic local snacks in the back alleys without a local to lead the way. I was very full, and the restaurant's environment was also very clean. Highly recommended to everyone!

What to know before visiting Kathmandu

Discover Kathmandu’s highlights and rhythm

Kathmandu’s most-booked experiences on Klook are tours, cultural experiences and outdoor activities, and demand follows a clear seasonal rhythm through the year. Bookings build in late spring and peak in July, then fall back towards the end of the year.

Best times to visit for crowds and prices

Klook data shows demand peaks in July and is lowest in November. Prices drift through the year and—according to Klook booking data—June is typically the cheapest month while December is typically the priciest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for June or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season atmosphere plan for July. Note that demand and prices don’t move perfectly together here: July is busiest but the very lowest prices tend to appear in June rather than in the trough month of November.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia book fairly close to travel: typical Klook bookings show travellers secure experiences just a couple of days ahead, with many last-minute options available. If you’re travelling in the peak month of July, consider booking the key tours and cultural experiences earlier—around a week ahead—to lock in preferred times; for shoulder and low-season travel you can be more flexible and book nearer departure.
