Kathmandu Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I took my whole family if 19. Great operator. Went above and beyond to make our experience great

Truly an amazing experience to see Mt. Everest by plane. Thank you Himalayan Social Journey for your help & professionalism. Bishal was very punctual - picked us up at our hotel on time, and when we arrived he was right at the arrival terminal waiting for us. Thank you!

This is a most efficient way of seeing some World Heritage Sites. On our own, we may not have made it to Patan Durbar Square, which is amazingly beautiful.The tour does not include the Kathmandu Durbar Square, but that is in the heart of the city and easy to visit.Punam is a great guide and good company.A snack box is provided as part of the deal. Have lunch at one of the restaurants around Boudhnath Stupa. That is another surprising and most pleasant place: a huge stupa, surrounded by a ring of old houses with shops, cafes, and restaurants.

It was really good, nice guides and very tasty food Different options in menu We booked 10 minutes prior and they were ready for us on a short notice which was amazing. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful scenic flight with breathtaking views and a really friendly and professional crew. They explained so much along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable and special. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.A special thank you also goes to the local travel agency, who provided excellent service throughout. They were always very quick to respond and extremely helpful whenever we had a question or needed assistance.We truly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend this tour! ❤️✈️

My guide, Punam and our driver were delightful and knowledgeable. The tour covered the four key monuments listed in the guide books - Swayambhu, Patan Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. I learned much about the history and significance of Buddhist/Hindu practices plus a nice overview of local cuisine and crafts like Thanka painting. The ride to each site was an adventure! Highly recommended, you’ll truly appreciate the Nepali.

I had an amazing day with Shishir. We started very early to see the Himalayas and then spent hours hiking through the mountains, villages and countryside, all the way to Changu Narayan. He took me to places I would never have discovered on my own and gave me a much better understanding of Nepal along the way.Shishir has an extensive knowledge of the country, the mountains, Nepalese culture and Buddhism, and was always happy to answer my endless questions. He was also very flexible and adapted the day to what I wanted to do, which made the experience feel personal rather than like a standard tour.Above all, he is a genuinely nice, trustworthy and interesting person to spend the day with. I really enjoyed both the hiking and our conversations.If I return to Nepal, I would definitely contact Shishir again. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting Kathmandu who wants to discover the real Nepal beyond the usual tourist circuit.

Shree was a wonderful guide very knowledgeable about the history of the country and the temple's and gods. Had a awesome time would book with him again for a tour.. well worth the cost Felt safe walking though the city and markets

I joined the class solo but I enjoyed it a lot! The teachers spoke perfect English and they helped me cooking as well. The dishes were great and decent amount I think. Thank you!

My husband booked trip trip with Mani and The Great adventure treks . We visited Kathmandu - Pokhara - Chilean - Rafting and Poon hill trek . We enjoyed and had great time.

Wonderful tour. Or guide, Shanti ,was excellent. She was very attentive to our needs, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I learned a lot about Nepal's history.

Excellent in all ways, our guide, Shanti was knowledgeable and sensitive to our need. The driver was safe and careful

Padam Gurung is a great guide who makes the trekking very enjoyable, he organizes everything very smoothly so you don’t need to organize anything yourself and can enjoy the experience in full. I would highly recommend booking with him!

I recently did the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Guide Treks, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The whole trip was very well organized, and everything went smoothly without any stress. The guide was well-trained, friendly, and always supportive during the trek. He answered all our questions and made sure we were safe and comfortable at every step. The accommodation and food arrangements were also good and gave us proper rest during the journey. I truly recommend Nepal Guide Treks for anyone planning a trek in Nepal. A great team and unforgettable experience!

I completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Guide Treks and had a truly smooth and memorable experience. From the beginning, everything was well organized, including permits, transport, and lodging. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and always ensured our safety and comfort on the trail. The teahouses were simple but clean, and meals were filling enough for long trekking days. I really appreciated the calm coordination and friendly support throughout the journey. The mountains were breathtaking, and the overall service exceeded expectations. I would confidently recommend Nepal Guide Treks for anyone planning this amazing Himalayan adventure.

Hi, This is vishweshwar, from Hyderabad, India. I started treks in my life since 2016 and completed some treks in India and some in Nepal. I have been trekking with The Great Adventure Treks & Expedition company since 2023. I have successfully completed Manaslu Circuit trek in May 2023, Everest Three passes +EBC + Kala patthar in May 2025 and repeated Everest Three Passes Trek and added new itinerary of Ama Dablam Base camp + Gokyo Ri & Gokyo lakes in May 2026 with this company. I always prefer to go solo, not in groups, of course I take help of a guide / porter as required. Mr. Mani who is the owner of the company " The Great Adventure Treks & Expedition " has always been so helpful and supportive in fulfilling my dreams of trekking in Nepal. He has lot of experience and knowledge about trekking in Nepal, which comes to great benefit in my treks. He always planned the whole trek well in advance for me from arranging good, well experienced guide / porter, who are very friendly and supportive during the trek and provides with lot of important information about the route, food, accommodation etc. during the trek and precautions to be taken. His support, his words of encouragement always fills lot of energy and enthusiasim before the start of the trek, which make the whole adventure memorable and everlasting in my memory. The company keeps in touch with me during the trek as much as possible to enquire how the trek is going and any help or support required etc. Mr. Mani has good team of guides, porters and support staff which helps in making the trek successful. Due to the support & guidance from Mr. Mani & the team, even tough treks like Three Passes feels like, yes I can do it and that is how I repeated the trek in 2025 & 2026. I strongly recommend to work with him & his company for any adventures, treks and tours in Nepal and Tibet. I have already made up plans of future treks in Nepal and trips to Tibet, what I would be doing with the company and always be happy to work with Mr. Mani and his team.I thank Mr. Santosh, guide who came with me to Manaslu circuit trek in May 2023, Mr. Pasang who is an experienced guide who was with me during 2025 Three Passes trek along with Mr. KP Rai, a porter from Lukla and Mr. Sobit who is a porter/guide from Lukla, who came with me in the recently completed 2026 Three passes trek + Ama dab lam base camp + Gokyo Ri + Gokyo lakes trek.Mr. Mani always planned the trek in line with the budget, I am comfortable with and provided great service from the day when he picks me from KTM airport, arranging flight / Heli to Lukla and back to KTM after the completion of the trek, arranging a comfortable stay in KTM in his hotel " Hotel Everest Nepal " in Jyatha, (which is very close to main Thamel market) and till the day of departure from KTM. It has always been great pleasure to work him and his team.I shall thank Mr. Mani & his team, the company " The great Adventure Treks & Expedition for the support & guidance provided in previous treks and look forward to work with them in all my future treks also.
