Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Fantastic day tour. Guide Sajina was knowledgeable and friendly. Bhaktapur was charming, and the Nagarkot views with lunch were perfect.
I joined the Bhaktapur and Nagarkot Day Tour and had a great experience! Our guide Suresh was excellent — very knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip smooth and informative. Bhaktapur was full of culture and beautiful architecture, while Nagarkot offered peaceful vibes and scenic views (even in monsoon). What I loved most was that it’s so close to Kathmandu but still gave a nice village feel — a great way to escape the city for a day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a mix of culture, nature, and a local touch!
