    Incredible day visiting seven of the most incredible sites on the planet. Shanti was our terrific guide, full of historical background for all of the buildings and hugely knowledgeable about Nepal and Kathmandu. We also had a great driver who smoothly drove us between the sites. Go on this tour for wonderful memories from a single day. Highly recommended.

    The beautiful Himalayas and a great hike out of the city. I had an amazing day walking through small villages and communities. My guide Shishir had great passion for the area and helped make my experience fantastic. This is a great excursion.

    Our time and money were well spent on the excursion. With our guide, Subash, we gained a lot of knowledge about Bhaktapur. He knows a great deal about the area's history. Subash made sure we were aware of the schedule and what to anticipate prior to the tour commencing. He saw to it that we got a jacket to wear for the tour. Subash made it easy for us to navigate the busy streets. He gave us advice on how to pose for amazing photos and took them expertly. We were fortunate to have Subash as our guide because he is fantastic.

    The way our driver Krishna navigated the twisting road to Nagarkot was excellent. He always opened the doors for us. When it came time to go on to the next place, Krishna was always prepared for us. All in all, Krishna and Subash made sure we had a fantastic experience!

    The sunrise didn’t show through the fog and mist but the tour day was still well spent. We trekked through several villages and stupas/temples. Umesh was an excellent and flexible guide and shared cultural and history insights .

    Shankar and Ravi made a great team and helped to make the Namobuddha tour wonderful. We hiked a combination of roads and trails, and enjoyed beautiful views of the valleys between Dhulikhel and the Monastery at Namobuddha. Shankar was a wealth of knowledge and helped to add religious and cultural perspectives for the sites, stupas, Temple and Monastery along thr way. If you want to experience a slightly challenging day hike outside of Kathmandu, which includes a cultural and historical experience I definitely recommend this tour!

    I took my first solo international trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and it was outstanding, primarily due to the exceptional efforts of my tour guide Raghu Nath Pradham. I stayed 4 days, two nights in Kathmandu and one night in Nagarkot, touring the grand Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, shopped in Thamel, viewed an actual cremation ceremony at the Arya Ghats, walked across the Rani Jhula hanging bridge, viewed the vast Himalayans from my hotel balcony and so much more! It was an awesome trip. Raghu is not only extremely knowledgeable in the history of the Hindu and Buddhist religions and Nepalese culture, he was also a lot of fun to walk and ride around with. Very personable and understanding. Raghu knew when to step back and permit me additional time at an attraction that truly captivated me. My Nepal trip, which was initially meant as an educational experience, turned into an amazing spiritual adventure. I will not forget this 4 day trip, scheduled in the middle of my tight work week. I would not have been able to come up with the perfect itinerary on my own, nor accomplish all on the list, without Raghu's incredible organizational skills and knowledge of Nepal's lay out. Raghu, you are the best tour guide I have ever encounter. I am thankful my friends M and J recommended your services last month. Now you have three happy clients who adore you and will happily refer you to others.

    Really enjoyed the day. It's a cable car trip up into the hills with some lovely views over Kathmandu and the Himalayas.

    The hike takes most of the day, quite a lot of it is downhill, but there are some tough uphill bits. Anyone with an average fitness level should be fine.
    Guide is a lovely chap

    Just returned from an EBC trekking with Sublime Trails, what a wonderful and unique experience! Ram and his team Prakash (guide) and Laxman (porter) have been very helpful throughout the whole process. From booking and return and beyond! They literally took care of everything, so the only thing I had to do was enjoying the hike and amazing scenery. Hopefully I will return to Nepal for an Annapurna trekking with Sublime Trails, would definitely recommend them!

    I can't say enough great things about my experience in Kathmandu, thanks to my incredible tour guide and host, Dipak Sapkota. From the moment we met, he was like my right arm, making sure I didn’t miss a thing. He took me to the best cafes and restaurants, introducing me to the rich flavors of Nepali cuisine, and along the way, he shared his deep knowledge of the culture, history, and traditions of the country. His connections in the city were impressive—we never waited for anything, and it felt like he knew everyone! But the absolute highlight was the helicopter tour to see the Himalayas. It was breathtaking, and I’m so glad I did it with him; the level of service and expertise he provided made the experience so much more special. I can’t imagine flying with anyone else for such a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The entire journey, from the ground to the skies, was seamless and unforgettable.

    Shankar our tour guide was spot on, he was super friendly and welcoming,
    He showed us the sites and allowed us to take in all the culture. The tour didn't feel rushed, we even altered the itinerary and even this was no problem for him.
    If you ever book a tour in Kathmandu through Breakfree adventures - I hope you get Shankar.
