Things to do in Kathmandu

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

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!

Sumit (our tour guide) and Biren (our driver) were truly exceptional. Sumit is incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about every site we visited. He’s very easy to be with, and his English communication skills are excellent, which made all the explanations clear and engaging. You can genuinely feel that he loves what he does — his passion and positive energy made the entire tour even more enjoyable. He took great care of us throughout the day and also took amazing photos — I came home with so many beautiful pictures from the trip. Also, he took good care of my mom all day. He offered help during going up and down the steps and hills. I am very grateful for his kindness. Biren is an excellent driver who knows his way around Kathmandu extremely well. He is very patient, calm, and kind, which made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the best of Kathmandu in a single day.

last min booking also can. very fast confirmation by the team. driver & guide picked us on time at our hotel. took 1+ hour to reach the location. driver is pro to drive in hilly roads. arrived just on time for sunrise. you can just see a part of mount everest only as it is at the back of other mountains. can see himalayan range and other mountains view. our guide, Shree is really helpful naming the mountains and answering our questions. he took really great photos of us. brought us to another location to get a different view and to a hotel nearby for coffee with a view (paid separately to hotel). itinerary timing is on time. dropped us back to out hotel and still get to have breakfast at our own hotel. great package for someone who's in kathmandu for a short time.

Here’s a shorter summary version: --- Amazing tour from start to finish! Pick-up was perfectly on time, and watching the sunrise from the summit was unforgettable. Our guide was insightful and shared great stories about the villages we passed, making the whole experience engaging and enjoyable. Truly a fantastic tour—I couldn’t recommend it more!

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!

My day in Kathmandu is perfect with this tour. My tour guide, Ms Sajina is very informative, helpful and also super duper friendly😍😍 She also took good picture like a pro! Big and huge advantages. She explain everything in details without failed. Shoutout to our driver also (Forgot his name. Sorry🙏) he is a pro driver and drive us all around with safe and sound. Guys. whenever you visit Nepal escpecially Kathmadu, please choose this tour operator and als lovely guide. Ms Sajina. Thank you, Terima Kasih, Salamat Po and Dhanyabad.Cheers🥰😉😊🤭

first experience in nepal, jeet bhandur has been an amazing guide. abc trek is definitely one of the best out there, and snowpeak just made it better!

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!
