I had a great time. The walk was lovely, getting to experience a little bit of the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monestary and part of a ceremony there was very interesting and carried a strong energy. Our driver was very calm and patient and I felt safe and relaxed during the whole drive And Pranav my guide made the trip really fun, I'd had booked it just by myself as a woman so I was the tiniest bit worried about both but he was very relaxed, told me a lot about the culture, religion, life in Nepal in general and was great company throughout. His englisch is top notch and when he noticed the monestary had put up a large new information plaque about parts of its history he immediatly went to take a picture to be able to make the next tour potentially even more informative. So basically this will just keep getting better and it was already lots of fun. He also gave me a bunch of tips on other things to try and do, and I left with an entire days worth of activity ideas. Highly recommend.

The hike is beautiful, in contrast to some other hikes in the region not just along a road but mostly through forrests, fields or tiny pathways through towns. Changu Naryan is stunning. So eventhough I had bad luck with the weather for the sunrise (which I had expected) this trip was totally worth it. I think I would have been disappointed had I gone to Nargakot only to see the sunrise and not been able to see much. But by booking this you're pretty much guaranteed a good experience even if it's foggy. My guide Raj was very knowledgeable, rattling off dates and historical context from the top of his hat and just good company in general. I had booked this as a solo traveller and as a women and was the tiniest bit worried about both, but Raj was lovely company and I always felt comfortable and safe. The driver was great, calm and I felt very safe and relaxed both on the windig roads up Nagarkot and through the busy Kathmandu streets.

5 out of 5 stars
