I was he only 1 student but still they catered me like a vip one on one. I learned so much from great teachers Nish and Bikram. They are very kind and accommodating. This activity is worth the money. You learn and you get to eat what you cook. Such a great experience. Highly recommended

It was absoiutely worth it! Visiting seven World Heritage Sites in just a single day sounded ambitious, but it was an incredible and seamless experience. Because it's the non-peak season, the tour ended up being just me and one other traveler instead of a large group. The pickup vehicle was exceptionally clean, modern, and comfortable, making the day's travel a breeze. Our tour guide, Sumit, was fantastic. He provided detailed and engaging explanations at every stop, giving me a deep appreciation and understanding of the history behind all seven heritage sites. On top of that, Sumit was incredibly attentive and went out of his way to help take wonderful photos. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area—and if you get Sumit as your guide, you're in for an absolute treat!

I have always been curious about Nepal and its beauty. this trip has finally answered that question of mine and grow my curiousity even further to know more about Nepal and its beauty. I will definitely be back. truly enjoyed the trip because of Epic Adventures Pvt Ltd guide, Mr Gyanashwor and his two porters, Sanjaya and Vhola. They have made the trip a lot more enjoyable with their hospitality to welcome foreigners like myself to experience their culture. Love every bit of it.

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.

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.

Thank you, THRILL HIMALAYA, for arranging our 5-day, 4-night ABC trek with Tilak as our guide. The company was incredibly responsible even before our departure, providing detailed and prompt responses to our inquiries and regularly reminding us about necessary equipment. This made us feel very reassured before we even left. The day before our departure, the guide met us at our hotel and provided us with duffel bags in advance. From day one, we were so grateful for our guide Tilak's leadership. We had no prior mountaineering experience and our physical stamina was relatively low, but the guide patiently accompanied us at our own pace, never rushing us, even when we walked slowly. Although the journey was challenging, there was no pressure, and we are very thankful to the guide and porters for helping us complete the entire trip. Even though we walked slowly, sometimes until dark, they never complained and ensured we reached the teahouses safely. The teahouse environments and food each night were excellent, and we even had a perfect night at the ABC teahouse. Throughout the entire process, we were grateful for their dedication and assistance; they went above and beyond their job duties, providing immense security and encouragement. They also tried their best to meet our needs; out of the four nights, we only had to share a room for one night, which improved the quality of our rest. We were so fortunate to choose THRILL HIMALAYA to help us complete this trek. While the scenery was beautiful, I believe I might have given up halfway without THRILL HIMALAYA's assistance and arrangements. Two days after completing the trek, they even delivered our certificates to the hotel. Everything was perfectly executed, and the arrangements truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you all! If we ever trek in Nepal again, we will only choose you! Thank you, guide Tilak, thank you, baby porter. THRILL HIMALAYA TREKS team is the best!!

What to know before visiting Kathmandu

Quick snapshot of Kathmandu’s travel rhythm

Kathmandu draws most bookings for Tours, Cultural experiences and Outdoor activities, and demand varies a lot through the year. Klook data show a clear high season in July and a quieter trough around November, so the city alternates between busy peak months and much calmer periods.

Best months to visit for price and crowd goals

According to Klook booking data, July is the busiest month while November sees the lowest booking demand. Prices move differently: Klook’s historical prices peak around December and are typically at their lowest in June. That means crowds and prices don’t always align — July is busiest but not the priciest, while December is often more expensive even though demand is lower than the July peak. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider June or November; if you want the full peak-season atmosphere, plan for July.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most visitors from Hong Kong book activities a few days ahead: typical lead time on Klook is about 2 days, with many last-minute bookings possible within a day and early planners booking around 8 days out. For a short, flexible trip you can book many Tours and Cultural experiences close to travel dates, but during July’s peak consider locking in popular activities earlier to avoid disappointment.
