This stay was excellent! The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable, and I had great sleep. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and the breakfast was generous. The location is convenient—I'll definitely come back next time in Kathmandu.

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.

I booked this hike at the last minute through Epic Adventure, and I’m really glad I did.
A big thank you to Shreeram Adhikari and Suren Sharma for making the whole experience so enjoyable. Everything went smoothly from the pickup until the end of the trip.
What I liked most was that We watched the sunrise, had breakfast, walked through local villages, saw traditional houses and farmland, went through the forest and crossed the suspension bridge. It felt like getting a little glimpse of many different sides of Nepal.
The hike itself was much easier than I expected.The pace was comfortable and there was never any pressure to rush. They were happy to stop whenever I wanted photos or simply wanted to enjoy the view.
Both of them were professional, friendly, and fun to spend the day with.
If you’re visiting Kathmandu and want something that combines nature, local culture, good views, and an easy hike, I would definitely recommend them. i’m on my way back and feel a blast :)

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 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.
