Kathmandu

I stayed 6 nights at Hotel Thrive Kathmandu, and overall it was a comfortable and pleasant experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and cozy, with good housekeeping throughout my stay. The bed was comfortable, and the room felt quiet and relaxing, which was great after long days out in the city. The space was thoughtfully arranged, with enough room to move around comfortably, and basic amenities were in good working condition. I also appreciated the calm atmosphere and the sense of privacy in the room. Overall, a reliable and comfortable stay, especially for travelers looking for a peaceful base in Kathmandu.

I booked and participated the day before! The meeting time was 9:00 AM, so I arrived 15 minutes early, but... huh? It's not open. A slight sense of unease washed over me, but the staff arrived about 5 minutes before and guided us in. Whew. I was given masala milk tea, and while relaxing a bit, we were told to choose 3 dishes to make, so the 4 participants, including us, discussed and made our choices. Once decided, we all went shopping at a nearby store. Mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, coriander, and so on. It was interesting to see Nepalese ingredients at a store where locals shop. The cooking was done efficiently, with assignments given to each person. We cut vegetables, stir-fried, and kneaded momo dough from flour while listening to the recipe instructions. After eating the first two dishes (potato dish and mushroom dish), it was finally time to make momos. We made the filling and wrapped it in homemade dough. This was quite difficult 😓. A man from Turkey said he works as a pastry chef, and his momos were beautifully made, which impressed me. A man from England, who had just finished a 14-day Manaslu trek, struggled with his first experience. We also struggled while wrapping. We steamed them for about 15 minutes and ate them fresh. It was the most delicious momo I ate during my stay in Nepal! We finished eating around 12:20 PM and disbanded at our convenience. The explanations and procedures for the dishes were well-organized and fun. But, perhaps starting and ending in a relaxed manner is a national characteristic. That's also part of the Nepalese cultural experience. I recommend it to those who have time!

It seems a little expensive considering the prices in Nepal, but it's definitely a place you should visit if you come to Nepal!!! They made momos with chocolate flavor. I was taught by two lovely women, and we hit it off because we were the same age 😊. I want to come again.

The Zipline experience was amazing. Tourguide Dipesh Banjara was so helpful and so kind. He is reliable and informative. I look forward to my next adventure with KLOOK in Nepal. Cheers to the great experience!

I booked and traveled comfortably. However, please note that it's not a buffet. It's more like a self-serve dal bhat. It's not a 4-star hotel buffet, just dal bhat, and locals eat it for even less... Just so you know before you go.

seat reservation process: It is easy to locate the bus you take, and the seat is arranged by the driver in advance. The bus departed half an hour later than the scheduled time. However, the journey was smooth along the way, with multiple stops at rest stations where we could buy snacks and drinks or use the restroom. The rest breaks were ample, and we managed to reach Kathmandu within eight hours.

The most worthwhile experience of our entire Nepal trip! During the flight, we could admire the stunning Himalayas stretching across the horizon and even get a close-up view of the magnificent Mount Everest. The reply from the staffs from the agency was quick and responsive, and our driver Dee made the journey even more special by chatting with us and sharing stories about Nepal’s culture and daily life. It made us fall even more in love with this country. Thank you!

incredible, beyond description !! Thank you for safety flight !
