Kathmandu: Twilight Walk,CREMATION & Arati Tour at Pashupati Exceptional service from start to finish and an overall amazing experience. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Kathmandu. The knowledge and insight shared about the local culture, traditions, and beliefs added so much depth to the trip and made every experience more meaningful. Exploring with a guide made a huge difference — it simply would not have been the same arriving and trying to navigate everything solo. Their professionalism, warmth, and local expertise made the journey both comfortable and unforgettable. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Excellent Tour of Cultural Sites of Kathmandu My wife and I had an all day tour with Rajan on April 8, 2026. We customized the trip to focus on three specific sites, rather than taking the tour as presented. Rajan was very flexible and adjusted the number of sites to visit, route and timing, and we were very happy with the pace and content. Rajan is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of excellent commentary about all the sites, and life in Kathmandu, in general. One thing we particularly appreciated was that he was not “over the top” in terms of providing commentary — we have had some tours where the guides want to tell you everything they know about every site, and it can be a bit of an overload. Rajan was not like this — his commentary breadth and depth was just right for us. We had rain in the afternoon and he was quick to adjust the plan — we saw the last site during a rainstorm from the terrace of a restaurant across the street from the site, where we could enjoy it out of the elements and with hot tea — nice adjustment! We asked him what he would suggest we might bring home to characterize our visit to Nepal (our first) — he suggest artwork, and carried us to an art school where we could learn about local art and enjoy seeing some of the works. All in all, a very enjoyable day, and we would recommend Rajan for your tour of Kathmandu.
