This is an interesting place to visit. The architecture is very interesting, and they were doing a lot of restoration. Still, it is a very poor village. The people are friendly. The Newari food is great. I would not take this as either a half-day or full-day tour. Take a taxi up, have the driver wait for 30-45 minutes, while you look around (or longer, if you want to eat in a restaurant), then get on to other things. The tours are over-priced and drag on too long.

In October 2019 my brother and I had the pleasure to visit Chitwan National Park under the guidance of (Kumar) Lama. After a long bus ride from Kathmandu we were welcomed at the Earth Light Hotel. The had everything we needed, and more! The place was well-maintained, clean, had a swimming pool and the (all inclusive) meals were good. The staff was very polite. During the three days, Lama had prepared a program for us which included various activities such as jungle canoeing, visiting an elephant pharm, a local village an dance show. The absolute highlight was the jungle walk where we encountered a rhinoceros! I would describe Lama as a helpful, professional, sincere and enthusiastic guide. After the three days it felt like we made a friend! We hope Lama and the hotel are doing well and we wish him and his family all the best during these difficult Covid times.

I went for a two weeks trek on the Annapurna Conservation area with iTourNepal early April 2021. Great experience, somptuous landscapes and thanks to Covid-19, the mountains were almost for us alone. The few tourists we crossed were mostly Nepalese. I am very satisfied with iTourNepal. Ravi was great at the early stages, including his advices to prepare the bag. They turned out very useful and accurate. And my guide, Dil, was outstanding, strong, reliable and attentive. Special thanks for helping me with my daily courses of Nepali language. I definitely recommend this trip to whoever has 2 weeks and two good legs!

I was really astonished by the beauty of the mountains, they Look undescribably beautiful. Also Shishir is probably the best guide you can get in Nepal, he will provide you much background information, not only about the country of Nepal, but also about those georgeous mountains, everyone should have seen at least once in their lifetime. He also has very good english skills, and I felt like he treated me more like a friend, than only a costumer. I would definetly recommend this Trip to everyone who is short on time, but really wants to grab a glance at some of the most beautiful places in the world is advised to take these trip :) It's also nice because you don't have to worry about organisation of the accomodation or food and can focus on the beauty of this trekking trail
