- ah900Stunning Views - a must do while in KathmanduWhat a stunning view of Kathmandu and the surrounding mountain ranges! The trip was definitely worth it. My tour guide Shanti did a fabulous job - she answered all my questions, gave me some great insight into the history of the area, and made sure I didn’t miss the lighting of the oil lamp at the temple. She let me take my time and set my own pace for the visit. I definitely recommend this tour guide and this tour company if you are looking for a great, relaxing and rewarding experience.
- leeb9400Amazing views and a wonderful hikeI very much enjoyed this tour, and it was worth getting up early. Madan and the driver were right on time. The driver was very careful and it was a very comfortable ride in both directions. The sunrise views were spectacular and very different from the hazy views in Thamel. Madan made sure I saw all of the best views, including seeing Mt. Everest peeking out of the mass of Himalayas. The hike was super interesting, walking through villages and seeing how folks live in the countryside, along with many goats, dogs, chickens, and the occasional cow. Madan had lots of knowledge about the local culture and economy, and he explained the stories behind beautiful Hindu temples we saw as well. I would highly recommend this--and don't forget to wear comfortable shoes!
- kw12355900Nice stunning of sunriseI had a lucky day as managed to view most of mountain and sunrise was stunning.Thanks to my tour guide, Shishir for taking nice photo and pointing out each mountain & explain the history of monastery. I recommend him if you follow this tour.
- Michele S00Worth the O’ Dark Thirty wake up call.This was a great tour. As a solo female I was a little nervous about the driver and guide being male however, it was a non-issue. My guide Ananta and the driver made me feel very comfortable and on the hike we had good conversation. Even though you get up a O’ Dark Thirty, it was worth it. The sunrise was beautiful and there was a great view of the Himalayan mountains, although we did not see Mt Everest , the scenery was spectacular. We had breakfast at the Himalayan Club and it was delicious. After we went on a hike, I chose the shorter route and it was about 1:15 and not difficult at all just a little dusty/muddy. We walked through some small villages and that was nice. Once we’re at the temple Ananat was right at home explaining everything. HINT: driving to Nagarot is a narrow, twisty and sometimes steep drive. If you get car or motion sickness, take medicine or avoid this tour. I highly recommend this tour.
- saivendrak00Sunrise day hike to NagarkotHad the opportunity to go for the sunrise hike and than hike through the Nagarkot villages with Shishir. He was excellent and made sure I had a great experience by providing all details about the area and culture. The hike itself was easy and very pleasant through the villages, forests and ending at the Changunarayan temple, which happens to be a UNESCO heritage location. Highly recommended hike and a very professional guide Shishir is. Thank you.
- BackPacker26174900Excellent, thoroughly recommendFantastic afternoon with an amazing guide, Rabina! Well worth you time to visit here and with this organised tour. Very knowledgeable guide without having an information overload, very relaxed and truly made this a wonderful experience!
- marinabrml00Mont Everest Helicopter tourI have booked the Mont Everest Helicopter tour. And this tour was one of the most memorable experience on my trip to Nepal! We stoped by Everest Hotel to have a breakfast during the trip. The most stunning views! The pilot very knowlegeable! I'm not a hikker and with this trip I was able to have the most unique and lifetime experience. Hymalaian Planet tours assisted me in my tpurs to the beggin to the end with an excellent service. I have booked other excursions with them all in October 2022. I keep recommending their services globaly for people which are travelling to Nepal.
- rwobrien1100Great sunrise hikeWe highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kathmandu. We were very fortunate to get to see the Himalayan mountains, including Mt Everest as the sun came up on a beautiful day. We then got to take a nice hike down the mountain walking thru little villages along the way experiencing rural life up close. Madan our guide was a nice guy who gave us a great perspective of rural life vs city life around Kathmandu. We really enjoyed his company!
- Daniela I00Great experience.Great tour with Shishir! He is a very experimented guide who took us to the best places, he was very kind and solved all our questions. Beyond being a guide he is a very nice person and you really enjoy your little trek talking of all sort of things, he goes beyond to make you feel comfortable and be sure you enjoy your visit.
- Serena K00NiceGreat views and a lovely temple visit. I found the hike itself quite strenuous and at times a little scary (particularly when the guide took steep short cuts). The other people on this hike seemed absolutely fine - so it’s fairly subjective.
- 776avaf00Perfect mix of culture and stunning sceneryThis was an amazing experience! My guide Shanti was fantastic, she is so knowledgeable on Nepal culture, history, flora and fauna. Request for her to be your guide! The hike was the perfect length as well as mix of culture and stunning scenery. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore the countryside and escape the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu.
- Sri R00Highly recommend ShishirShishir was an incredible host. He took me to the sunrise viewing spot, several Buddhist and Hindu temples in Nagarko and Bhaktapur, and through some Nepali villages. We also had a nice breakfast at a local spot. He shared his extensive knowledge of Nepal’s history and culture and was super friendly and easy to talk to. I felt safe as a solo female traveler, which was something I was concerned about before. Thanks so much Shishir, you’re the best!
- natashasY7329PO00Great day hike in KathmanduWe had an amazing day with Som today. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot and also saw some amazing views!
- drharisahmed00An amazing experience - Hey we saw Everest !!this was an excellent trip the guide Shanti was very respectful, had good knowledge of the place, and shared with us many interesting facts. She went out of her way to ensure that we got the best from this excursion. and it was because of her tactful thinking we got to see Everest too
- adelicial202100Amazing trekBeautiful views and a nice, easy trek. Not many people around, making it lovely and peaceful so you can enjoy the scenery. My guide Madan was amazing - he shared so much knowledge about the religions and culture, making the trek a great experience

Absolutely the best tour of historical sites in Kathmandu. My tour guide, Shanti, was fantastic. She gave me details on the historical, religious, and cultural aspects of every monument and temple we visited. She was knowledgeable, passionate about her country and culture, and a very pleasant person to spend an entire day with. We managed to see all the important cultural sites in just one day - it’s worth it! She also had a great sense of humor and made the tour fun and informative. I highly recommend this tour guide and this tour company.

I’ve had an incredible day exploring and learning about the history and culture of Kathmandu.
Had the amazing Rabina for my Tour Guide, Visited all the UNESCO heritage sites, temples, monasteries, i learned so much of all the traditions and cultural aspects of each place we visited.
Today i have been blessed by a Monk, was unfortunately not allowed to take any photos and had Tibetan Healing Therapy (Very different!)
Fantastic day and highly recommend.

Santi was a wonderful tour guide- we had a fantastic day exploring, and even saw the Royal Kumari, which was an amazing opportunity. There was no question that Santi couldn’t answer, and I felt like I learned an incredible amount about the history, architecture, and religious significance of the sites we visited. The communication from Himalayan Planet Adventures was also great, with detailed instructions from my guide before pickup about what to bring, and what the expected weather forecast was. Thank you, Santi, for a memorable day!

The experience was amazing. This was my friend Kira and I’d first time in Kathmandu and this was a great introductory history, religious, and cultural perspective on the capital of Nepal. Our guide was Shanti and she was so knowledgeable and answered every question we had. We had a rooftop lunch overlooking a stupa and got to access multiple temples and see some rituals being performed by the river. Overall an amazing trip and would do again if I am back in Kathmandu!

This tour gives a precise and targeted overview of all the main UNESCO sites in Kathmandu. We had Shanti as our guide, and she is a wealth of knowledge -- happily explaining all the traditions and cultural aspects of each place we visited. Of particular interest was the Pashupatinath Temple, a Hindu temple and sacred site right on the river, where there are cremation ceremonies daily. Shanti explained the entire process and gave a great explanation of the different ceremonial aspects involved in a Hindu cremation ceremony. We also enjoyed visiting Swayambhunath (and seeing all the local monkeys!) -- the views of the city from here were delightful. We were very fortunate to see the Kumari (an incarnation of the living goddess) during our visit to Durbar Square. All in all a great tour!

We had an incredible day exploring and learning about the history and culture of Kathmandu. Shanti, our tour guide has a wealth of knowledge to help us understand Hinduism and Buddhism in more detail. She was patient, friendly and a fantastic photographer ‘click click’! She was able to answer all of our questions and we would highly recommend her for your future tours. A highlight for us was that we were able to whiteness the very rare sighting of the Royal Kumari ❤️ What an experience!
