I was in Kathmandu only for 3 days and I really needed a tour which would give me an opportunity to visit as much places of interest as possible in a short period of time. Although you may think it is expensive, this tour is very time-efficient, and it is really the best option to visit all the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. My guide Rabina Khadka and her driver picked me up from my hotel at 7am and our private tour started on time. She took care of all the entrance tickets and we did not have to stand in line. Everything was very smooth, and most importantly, very personalized. She explained everything and informed me in general about the lifestyle and culture of Nepal. I greatly recommend this tour to anyone who is short of time and needs a personalized and flexible tour in a comfortable setting. Usually, it takes 2-3 days to visit all these places, but I was quite happy to do it in one day

6. Local Guide for Bandipur Walks & Annapurna Trekking

Bandipur, Nepal Sukram Lama

I grew up in the beautiful hill-top village of Bandipur (you should see it!). At the age of 16 I became a porter but because my English is good, I quickly became Assistant Guide and then Lead Guide. I have worked for many years as a Lead Guide both with Intrepid Travel and Himalayan Encounters before I decided to become independent guide. Over the years I have learnt so much about the mountains, first-aid, nature, local culture, weather, food, hygiene and client handling. Some of it is knowledge I learnt growing up in the Himalayas. Some I gained on government training courses and some I have learnt when being a guide. I also love to learn about life in the west from my client friends too! Meeting new people and making new friends from all over the world is a great joy for me.

I was met by Rita & driver who welcomed me. I felt relaxed & they made me feel at home. Rita explained the day & explained anything I wasn't sure of. Patan Square was amazing & I was very impressed with Rita's knowledge of history. Bhaktapur Square was also great to visit & even saw a live wedding. Rita made the whole tour very enjoyable & brilliant. The buildings are just beautiful with so much history.

Being the largest cave in the whole country, it provides the best experiences of encounter with dark environment, bats chattering, mice moving and many more. Its interior is full of stalactites and stalagmites. It is also known as the place from where Siddha baba got his enlightenment.

Dirt path and stone path are the only way to reach there which are slippery so it’s very necessary to take every step with care. The path is being managed and maintained to make it easy for travelers to explore around. It is also essential and somehow compulsory to hire a local guide as well to know more about the cave.

I had a great 5 days trek in the Langtang valley. Suman Thapa my guide was exceptional. His technical skills helped me manage perfectly the altitude, thanks to his amazing knowledge of the country I learned so much about these beautiful mountains and amazing people, and above all Suman went out of his way to make sure I was very happy with the trek. I can not recommend him enough!
