Bikram Tamang was an excellent guide. It helped that it was a private tour so the time and pace was my own and we had more time to discuss and for me to ask questions. even as I was overwhelmed with 7 UNESCO sites and their information, the ample time to explain and repeat helped. Even managed to buy a few things where Bikram negotiated the best possible deal for me. I enjoy trips when my guide is personable and really goes above and beyond. Krishna was a very good driver as well and we made maximum use of the time and I was even able to squeeze in some work during the driving. I assume it can be exhausting when you have a lot of people and keep repeating or have one person who kept asking more information which ended up being a discussion. Kudos to the excellent tour.

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.

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 :)

But I wasn't here for hiking this time! thanks for klook for this short trip allowed me to experience the charm of Nepal, and I'm filled with love for this land already . I hope to have more time to delve deeper into its culture and landscape in the future!

The best views on a flight i’ve ever seen. This is a once in a lifetime experience as you get to be really close to the mountain range and take it in all of its glory. Even though it wasn’t a completely blue sky you can still see the mountains clearly. The flight attendants are nice and tell you what mountains you’re looking at and ensure safety of everyone. I suggest this company because they pick you up in the morning and makes sure you are first in line to get the good seats. The driver also waits until you’ve landed to bring you back to accommodation which made this experience very convenient for us.

The advantage of a private tour is everything follows my schedule and my pace. Rustam was a very good guide, and while my tour was originally set for later, he suggested moving it earlier so I would get a better view. True enough, what he said actually happened. He is a very eager and informative guide and was very enthusiastic taking photos for me, which I appreciated because otherwise, it would be mostly selfies. Would highly recommend him and even our driver Bhawani was very good. Everything was on time or ahead of schedule and they made sure I was happy with the tour.

Having Rustam Khulal as our tour guide for Patan and Bhaktapur was a fantastic experience. He provided deep insights into Newari culture and the glorious history of the Kathmandu Valley from the 15th to 18th centuries. It was fascinating to learn about the rich artistry, advanced silver craftsmanship, and incredible water system engineering that went into building these heritage sites

I had a very short layover but I booked the tour when I landed late at night and next morning we met at 0830 and finished at 1800, it was just me and another spanish lady, along with our guide Mr. Rajan and driver Mr. Ram. We visited 7 UNESCO heritage sites which included the ones which were destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. Mr. Rajan told us about the history about how Kathmandu came into place and it was earlier as Kasthamandap and the temple it was named after. There on he was super supportive of us while we wanted to click pictures and he has absolute knowledge about the sites and clearly states the significance of it all. He informed us about the largest stupa-Boudhnath Stupa in the world, Oldest Hindu Temple-Changunarayan Temple, and the tallest standing temple that survived the 2015 earthquake Nyatopola, Bhaktapur Temple. He is and excellent photographer and will direct you to the best Momo in Nepal. I truly recommend him for Kathmandu tours. Keep growing Mr. Rajan! JMMJMM :))

What to know before visiting Bhaktapur
What Bhaktapur is known for
Bhaktapur’s strongest draw on Klook is cultural Tours, which dominate bookings and shape the visitor year. Klook booking data show Tours as the top category, and the city’s rhythm through the calendar is driven by steady interest in its heritage, traditional crafts and temple precincts. Travellers choose between slower, reflective visits in quieter months and livelier periods when festivals and local activity raise demand. Decide whether you want smaller crowds or festival atmosphere — Klook booking data help match your timing to that choice.
Best months to visit Bhaktapur
Klook booking data show demand has clear peaks and quieter stretches: visit during Peak demand months for the liveliest atmosphere, and aim for Quieter than usual months if you prefer smaller crowds. Advance booking on Klook trends toward planning: prices and demand can move together in busier months, so expect both to rise. For lower prices and less crowded experiences, choose the months marked Quieter than usual; for peak-season atmosphere pick the Peak demand months. Choose smaller crowds or peak energy based on whether you prioritise calm visits or festival-season buzz.

Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers here lock things in about 20 days ahead according to Klook booking data, with the earliest planners booking around 20 days out as well. That means you can plan comfortably but should still book earlier for Peak demand months to secure preferred tour times. Use Klook to compare tour options and pick refundable or flexible choices if your schedule might change. Booking a couple of weeks in advance typically gives you peace of mind and access to the best time slots on popular Tours, while last-minute options still exist for flexible travellers.
