“People of Kathmandu”
Reviewed August 14, 2009

To spend some days in Kathmandu is a very strong experience. The air of this city is satured of strong smells: spices, sweat, fatigue, sighs and hope. Animals' blood mixed to offers and prayers. A concrete spirituality fills of peace the dayly fight with poverty.
Nepalese people live for a short time, but they smile to you, they welcome you with kindness. They are always one step ahead in their silent and coloured struggle with survival. What a nice people, what a lot of respect and quiet dignity!
If you go there, what makes the difference is a good guide or a good friend, able to talk about everything and, at the same time, leaving to silence the most effective comment on what speaks by itself. Buddhi Prasad Bhatta [--] is the right person; he was the added value of our trip, showing and sharing with us (a group of experienced travellers) positive and negative aspects of nepalese capital, culture and people. And he made it with incredible involvement, care and joy.

“Kathmandu, Nepal”
Reviewed July 22, 2009

Travelled solo to Nepal & Bhutan. Hesitant at first, but glad I did.

It was my first time in Nepal and I treated myself to a lovely hotel Dwarika's and can highly recommend it and have.

I'm not a trekker, so this wasn't the purpose of my trip. Enjoyed visiting all the world heritage sites and waslucky enough to have a guide who was reliable and very knowledeable. Very flexible too as I don't like travelling in groups for this specific purpose. He caught on quickly on what were my interests and made recommendations/suggestions accordingly.

If you only have a few days, hire a guide and driver. Buddhi Prasad Bhatta was my guide and his card states that he's a member of a tour guides association.

Enjoy your travels!

“Unforgettable Nepal”
Reviewed July 21, 2009

Nepal is a special country where sky, mountains and beauty merge together.
It has been an unforgettable experience, also thanks to my special guide Buddhi Prasad Bhatta, a young talent that has made my trip special.
I have seen places that tourists ever see, I have spent time with local people and I have visited a lot in one week staying in the best hotels. Buddhi recommended me the Dwarika's Hotel in Kathmandu: something unforgettable.
The "mountain flight" he organized for me is something that will always remain in my loving memories.
This is what makes a beautiful country special and Buddhi is a fantastic resource of this marvellous country.
