Guest reviews from travelers on Cultural, religious and historic sites tours in and around Kathmandu
Tracey | Traveled in October
This was a interesting trip to a fascinating place. The flight from Nepal to Paro passing Everest and through the tree covered valleys set the scene for a week in a stunningly beautiful country where the air is clean and the people welcoming. The trip was well paced and most of the hotels were of a very good standard. We could not have been in better or safer hands than with our excellent guide Sanom and driver the Captain. The walk towards the Tigers Nest is doable if you are reasonably fit and take your time, although the altitude adds an extra challenge. And with rain setting in I found the descent more difficult and could not have been more grateful for our guide assisting all the way. The final two days in Kathmandu were a good taster for a very different but equally interesting country. I very much appreciated the knowledge and passion for their country of the local guides we had.

Walking in the city of Kathmandu is very beautiful. We stopped at Boudha Nath which was really nice. The Buddhist temple surrounded by shops and coffee shops is too beautiful not to visit. Thank you team. The city tour package is beautiful.

Walking around the bustling Thamel, the noise immediately disappeared when entering the garden as if it were a dreams area Dinner here feels very peaceful, even though it was raining it added to the romantic impression .

Trafalgar does an awesome job of visiting key sites, providing locals experiences and exposing you to the toughside of India. When you complete your journey you feel like you've been exposed to the "real" India. I don't know of any other tour company that does this & I'm not sure every traveler is up to this approach but I treasured the experience.
Simon P. | Traveled in April
