About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- drmarkstravels0 contributionsSpices and Fine Shopping of True Nepali CraftworkThe Asan Bazaar is a wide area that also includes the Durbar Square of Kathmandu and leads right into the Thames shopping area. Durbar Square has a fee if you go over to see the sites and historic building. The 9 story palace is still under re-construction. Asan Bazaar is filled with great spices at very good prices. Most spice prices are fixed but if you are looking to buy a large quantity you can bargain. This is also the place to buy the women's Kurta (tunic) and other nice tea sets and other finely made metal wear, chess sets, and more.Written June 20, 2024
- nigla20220 contributionsExpensiveI used Nepal cab to go to the airport. It was expensive. The hotel transfer costs more so I contacted Nepal cab. They were only marginally less than the hotel car, but still exhorbitant.Written May 9, 2024
- brrrr20200 contributionsFirst contact with wild RhinosFirst time in jungle , i saw fresh footprints of tiger, so many rhinos, elephants, wild life in abundance, i real treat for the soul. I had a great time, bought so many gifts for friends and family, enjoyed local culture and food, People were so nice i am ashamed of forgetting what politeness is. Great experience,i reccomend it to all ages.Written October 15, 2023
- guy_paenen0 contributionsNice views on (the way to) the top.We took a taxi to take us to the entrance. "InDrive" is now also operational in Pokhara, and the price in the app appeared as 580 NRS to take us there starting from the Lake Side Rd. It's a steep ride and we asked the driver to stop a couple of times to take pictures. As he picked us up in the city, the driver proposed to take us there, wait for us while we visited the pagoda, and take us back. He asked for 1500 NRS which I found a very honest deal. From the entrance point there are approx 300 steps to the pagoda. Enough resting spots/restaurants/souvenirshops on the way up. The view on top is very nice. No entry fee to the pagoda. Depending on the weather or the season, better to plan this trip early morning or late afternoon ... and not around noon as we did.Written September 28, 2023
- Navigate267955728900 contributionsExcellent zip flyingThe briefing was very well done. The instructions were very clear, that is why i didn't have any complications doing it. Overall excellent experience and i would recommed everyone to try it if you’re in Pokhara, Nepal!Written July 25, 2023
- 145jeannec0 contributionsWonderful experienceWonderful tour with excellent guide Praha Laxmi. She was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and considerate. We loved seeing the town and the beautiful drive up to Nagarkot. Praha also assisted me after I returned home when I had a question about some art I had purchased and was being shipped to me. Great follow up was much appreciated! We also had a good driver who made us feel safe every bit of the way.Written May 16, 2023

- Winter D0 contributionsBhaktapur and Nagarkot SunsetWonderful tour of Bhaktapur - guide gave us both a great historical tour and a great "slice of life" tour, showing us the real, living side of the town. He was very kind and flexible with us. We then went up to Nagarkot to catch the sunset. Unfortunately it was too hazy to see much, but the tour itself was great and the guide was very friendly. Highly recommended!Written April 29, 2023
- KMenjivar0 contributionsAmazing little private tourI loved just touring the different squares and temples. It felt very catered to us. Our guide was very informative. He even took us to see healing bowls and to a grocery store to find some authentic goods.Written April 27, 2023
- S8970SFmeganp0 contributionsHistory at its finestWe booked this tour to get a better idea of the area we are staying in including the sights, culture and history. However, what we got was much more than that. We were greeted at our hotel by our guide Ramesh at our hotel. Ramesh graciously waited while we were a few minutes late, then started us on an amazing tour into the older part, down to the old palace and back to the newer part. Ramesh was friendly and fun with loads of knowledge and the ability to speak many languages. We are very happy we booked this experience and had Ramesh as our guide.Written April 9, 2023
- 469anitad0 contributionsDo not use or book with this company!!!’Terrible. Do not use this company. Driver took me to an unpopulated parking lot. No one else was there. The “luxury” vehicle they were supposed to come with was a very small compact at best. No sighting whatsoever. No satisfactory response from the company. Buyer beware!!!! This agency is absolutely terrible and a complete money ripoff. Not happy at all!Written March 2, 2023
- nickrylancetravel0 contributions3-Day Trek to Nagarkot via ChisapaniWe absolutely loved our private 3 day trek with Phul, our expert guide, who accompanied us and cheered us on as we trekked through Shivapuri National Park, into Chisopani and finally Nargarkot. It was stunning, the views of the Himalayas are breathtaking and the villages we passed were fascinating with local children returning from school, families cooking and goats hanging out :) Namaste, Phul, thank you for being such great company and for guiding us so well. We miss Nepal and the people.Written February 8, 2023
- podrozniczka600 contributionsVery pleasant introduction to Nepali diningThe venue seems to have many nicely appointed rooms in which they entertain groups of tourists. The decorations through the Nepali Chulo are beautiful exemplifying the beauty and rich culture of the region. You get greeted in a traditional way at the door. Seating is at long tables with a good view of the stage. Multiple courses of elaborate dinner are served as well as local rice vodka . The food and service were good. We enjoyed also the entertainment portion of the show featuring regional dances.Written January 28, 2023
- FazalMahmudR0 contributionsTry the trail to Phewa LakeThis holy place is very nearby to Pokhara Phewa Lake. A taxi will take 1200nrp (one way) and 1500nrp (both way) to get there. It has stair case to reach to the Pagoda. And you will find a number of outlets for light snacks and coffee. View from the top is spectacular. However, the most fascinating part for me was the trail to Phewa Lake from the Pagoda. It took me around 1 hr to reach to the down. Somewhere in mid point there is small shop for momo, tea, beer with seating arrangement. I met two Indian fnds there Yash and Jayant. We talked on different issues on travelling and Pokhara. Their company made rest of journey really wonderful. At the bottom, you have to buy boat tickets to go the other side of the lake. To Phewa Ghat it will cost you 750 nrp per boat. I loved the trail, the crossing the lake and the company of my two new frnds.Written December 28, 2022
- zuzanad8580 contributionsOur first tour in NepalThe guide was helpful and adapted the schedule to our needs. Anyway, this tour is advertised as 7h long and it seems that the lunch break is not included in the itinerary, which is strange. The sightseeing we saw met our expectations.Written December 21, 2022
