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

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.

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. I would recommend this tour to anyone & especially ask for Rita who will make the tour brilliant ! Thanks Rita for being a great tour guide :-)
