“Great day with Asmita. Even though the tour is quite long, we learned a lot and enjoyed every part of it. We loved Nepal and Kathmandu”
Kathmandu to Nagarkot for a Himalayan sunrise, then a gentle morning hike to UNESCO Changu Narayan, with packed food and pickup.
“I spent half a day with Bikram starting with the sunrise at Nagarkot. Although there was only partial visibility, the views were still worth the early start. From there, we visited the Bageshwori Nagarkot Suspension Bridge and then walked to Changu Narayan, a historic Hindu temple. We ended the tour exploring Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Bikram is very patiant and knowledgeable about the sites and the history of the area. I highly recommend him!”

“We had an excellent tour, highly recommended!! Our guide Sumit was very friendly, respectful and good at taking photos :) He knew so many things about all the sights, while Amik drove us safely through the crazy Kathmandu traffic. A huge thanks to these two! The Durbar squares were just amazing with all the wood carvings, palaces and tempels and Pashupatinath a must-see to better understand the Hindu culture.”
See 4 UNESCO Kathmandu icons in one day with an English guide, AC electric car transport, and lunch, plus permits and entrance options.

I appreciated the safe and considerate driving of the driver who ensured a smooth journey throughout the day. The tour guide's kindness and helpfulness enhanced my experience, making the information accessible and engaging for everyone. Her passion for the site was evident and added a wonderful dimension to the overall visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a memorable and enriching experience.”

Hit four UNESCO sites in Kathmandu, guided with context on Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist rituals, plus hotel pickup and included lunch.

Guided UNESCO Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Nagarkot Himalayan views in one 6-hour electric-vehicle day trip with lunch.
“Bhaktapur was very fascinating. Only wish we had more time there. It felt rushed. Our guide was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, it was very cloudy at the top of Nagarkot so we weren’t able to see the mountains.”
Hike Dhulikhel to Namobuddha, climb a thousand steps, tour Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery, enjoy lunch, and choose an overnight stay.
“My hike to Namo Buddha with Terence Tamang was an unforgettable experience. Terence is not only a true professional when it comes to hiking and everything related to the mountains, but he also brings a deep sense of respect and understanding for nature and spirituality. Throughout the journey, his knowledge, patience, and guidance made me feel both safe and inspired. What truly stood out was our meaningful conversations about life and spirituality — I learned so much from him beyond just hiking. His openness, wisdom, and kind heart made the trek even more special. I’m deeply grateful for the experience and for the insights he shared along the way. May…”
Kathmandu to Nagarkot for a Himalayan sunrise, then a Changunarayan temple hike option with lunch, pickup, and air-conditioned ride.
“The 4 hour hike after viewing beautiful sunrise was nice and peaceful”
Nagarkot sunrise, a cool early morning hike through village paths, and convenient hotel pickup, with optional Changunarayan Temple visit.
“It was a fantastic trip in the morning with group. Sunrise was stunning above the clouds. Great activity for early morning. Best value for money.”
A challenging day hike from Muhan Pokhari to Shivapuri, with lunch, birdlife, possible Himalayan views, and a Kathmandu Valley panorama.
“A Rewarding Hike to Shivapuri Peak Hiking to Shivapuri Peak in Shivapuri National Park was a memorable 6-hour adventure. The trail, surrounded by dense forest, led me to the 2,732-meter summit. Despite the cloudy weather limiting the views, the peaceful atmosphere and prayer flags added a special touch. I felt some mild wheezing due to the altitude, but the sense of achievement made it worthwhile. The well-organized trip by Cordial Trek Private Ltd was fantastic—their guides were knowledgeable, and everything ran smoothly, making this hike a highlight of my Nepal journey!”
A quiet 8-hour Kathmandu day trip to Namobuddha and the 44 m Shiva statue near Sanga, with guide, lunch, and monastery rituals.
“It was a very beautiful day trip. The scenery is amazing and the monarchy is something everyone should see once in their lives. The guides are so friendly and loving people. We would do it again”
See Himalaya sunrise from Nagarkot on a 4 to 5 hour tour with pickup, viewpoint time, and a light lunch box included.
“We knew it was a bit of a weather risk to book this activity and unfortunately, we did not have a view of the mountains at all. The lookout itself would have been an amazing view had the weather been better. If you have a chance to scout out the weather beforehand it might be more beneficial. Our Guide was wonderful though and very knowledgeable.”
A 6-hour guided Kathmandu tour of Pharping, Asura Cave, Dakshinkali, Taudaha Lake and Chobhar Gorge with lunch.
“El guía, increíblemente preparado tenía todas las explicaciones e historias de esos lugares que son únicos. Una paz y armonía en la Cueva y los Monasterios me dieron todo el tiempo para hacer plegarias y compartí con los monjes. Todo el viaje excelente. Mi 3ra vez en Kathmandu, y estos lugares benditos fueron maravillosos.”
Pick the altitude, pick the city, pick the kitchen.
