A great day out in Kathmandu and surrounds
We arranged the trip very last minute with Shepherd Holidays coming to our rescue . With detailed information over a WhatsApp call and everything arranged to satisfaction from Everest mountain flight to Chandragiri to Kirtipur the day was awesome. Guide Pradeep was so knowledgeable and answered all my curiosity questions very well.
Very pleasant personality and quite easy accomodating of an elderly person with us.

Buddhist spiritual experience
Fascinating excursion in the territories of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality, experienced with all 5 senses in the cave of Asura, perfect place to meditate where the coordinates of time and place are suspended. The Umesh guide confirms a solid certainty, from an organizational, informative and human point of view. The driver is also noteworthy, moving smoothly through the chaotic traffic of Kathmandu with an incredible eye.
