I came to Nepal on business, which unfortunately did not leave a lot of time for trekking and being outdoors. This day trip was a really convenient, easy, and straightforward way to experience some of the reasons people come to Nepal. Watching the sun rise over the Himalayas was a magnificent way to start the day, and the day hike was a great opportunity to see country life up-close. Shishir, our guide, was knowledgeable, accommodating, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure we had a positive experience. I highly recommend both him and this day trip.

Our guide, Shishir, was wonderfully kind and knowledgeable on the sites of Nagarkot. He made sure our group was comfortable the entire trip. The hike itself was mostly downhill and not difficult, but we opted out of the 2nd half of the hike due to the heat. The hotel pick up and drop off were also very good. Overall the trip was good and would recommend to any traveler.

The guide, Cecil, was very nice and knows a lot! Unfortunately the weather was cloudy, so we could not see the sunrise. The trek afterwards however did compensate this completely. We had the chance to see some of the real life in Nepal, after our 4 day Global Health Conference. I recommend all people who have only one day to book this trip! Maybe you never come back to Nepal! Probably you want to see more after this trip ;-)
