Things to do in Kathmandu

For my first day in Kathmandu, I decided to book a private tour with the intention of visiting the seven World Heritage sites. It was the right decision. The guide contacted me the night before to confirm the pick-up time, etc., which gave me peace of mind for the day. Then, Sudan, my guide, was waiting in the hotel lobby before the appointed time. A high-grade passenger car was prepared, making for a very comfortable ride. Sudan guided us at our own pace and accommodated our requests for currency exchange and singing bowl shopping along the way. The World Heritage sites were full of highlights, and I don't think we could have seen them all on our own. I am truly grateful for the guidance of Sudan.

such a wonderful trip to see the sunrise and Mt. Everest, stopped by a nice country club coffee and it was really wonderful

I'm from Macau, and I'm writing this review in Cantonese. This EBC trek has opened my eyes to a new understanding of mountain trekking. The biggest surprise was meeting a great guide, Nima. He taught me a lot about mountaineering techniques on this trip and carefully explained every landscape and every detail. He is a very gentlemanly person. It is my honor to have met such a good guide. The food and lodging arrangements were also excellent. In addition, Epic Adventure Company arranged for a colleague to meet me at my hotel on my first day in Kathmandu to carefully explain all the details and precautions of the entire trip. The next day, they also arranged for a car to take me to Kathmandu Airport to fly to Lukla. The service was excellent. A very unforgettable journey!

It was a truly great experience with Anan. He is extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited and even went out of his way to accommodate me with an extra stop at another tourist spot. His kindness reflects the warm hospitality typical of Nepal. I will definitely return to Nepal, and without a doubt, I’ll choose Anan as my tour guide again. He’s simply the best!

the pick up was smooth, but it is not worth the money since there is nothing to do aside from fhe viewing, which is not a guarantee since the weather is unpredictable.

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!

This is a very interesting tour, which I would recommend to everyone who visits Kathmandu. Two ancient cities in one day, that in some ways are more interesting and calm that Kathmandu itself, many local experiences, some museums, knowledgeable and very friendly guide (Ijan).

Highly recommended! It's a unique experience in a short period of time in Kathmandu, where there are only similar tour courses! Our guide, Monica, was very kind and guided us comfortably from beginning to end. The shaman's house was close to downtown Kathmandu, but when we went in, it felt like a completely different world had unfolded. Haha. I was a little nervous at first, but the shaman was also very witty, and in addition to my fortune, he taught me the shaman drum! I was lucky and saw locals perform a ritual after my session, and it was a great opportunity to understand the Nepalese shaman ritual. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a different experience!
