Nagarut sunrise and hike

5.00This is a great tour to experience local Nepal. Our guide Madan was excellent and the driver was great. We didn’t get to see the sunset but it was still an awesome tour. Please note however that you should be able to walk up and down a number of stairs. The hike was not difficult but the stairs might be challenging for some
Perfect day out

4.00Mr Sumit was the best guide ever the driver as well, but if you book this tour you have to know that you have to pay more than 40 US dollar for entrance fee and lunch is just a little breakfast bag. It’s better if they tell you about hole sum before you book
Worth to do in Nepal it's amazing trip

5.00It was worth it to see the sunrise and you can see himalayas, and my guide your Madan, he's the best, explaining everything about Nepal. Also we cross the suspension bridge and went to hike to Changunarayan. It was best experience in Nepal
Enjoyable easy hike!

5.00Very enjoyable small hike (max 10km), mostly downhill with beautiful views. Sunrise at the viewpoint was great and you can get a good milkcoffe at the 2nd viewpoint. Temple at the end I would also recommend (400 rupee entrance), very colourful, old (some parts are from the 4th century!!!). Umesh did his best to tailor the walk to our wishes since we were basically a private group.
Sunrise, easy hike and temple visit

5.00Great sunrise trip with short easy hike to a unesco temple, perfect before or after a longer trek if you’re based in Kathmandu for a few days and want to escape the busy for a few hours. Madan was an informative and friendly guide. Would recommend.

5.00The Nagarkot sunrise hiking tour was an amazing experience. The guide was very kind and friendly, which made the hike enjoyable and comfortable. What I appreciated the most was that the guide shared a lot of historical and cultural explanations along the way. His detailed explanations helped me understand the area much better and made the tour even more meaningful. Thanks to his kindness and knowledge, the entire experience was very helpful and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nagarkot.
Thank you Mr. Madan

5.00Communication over text was great and pickup was spot on time right outside! The guide Madan was super friendly and so informative about everything. The sunrise was beautiful and the 360° view of the mountains was unforgettable. The hike after was so peaceful and had great chats with the guide about Nepal and many other topics. The suspension bridge was incredible and such a beautiful panoramic view, whilst also being very safe. We stopped at Buddha Park and the temple at the end of the hike, two beautiful places which Madan explained the history of in great detail. 10/10 would recommend.
