TEN STARS If I could give TEN stars, I would! My #GuideFromKathmandu was incredible—very knowledgeable and fun to learn from. I was the only one on the tour and he made me feel comfortable and we had a great time!

Such an interesting experience Santosh is the guide to book with for this tour. He was knowledgeable with not only religion and history, but also culture and food. We had many questions and he answered them all to the best of his ability. The tour itself is eye opening and opens the door to different cultural perspectives.I would highly recommend!!

Highly recommend! Our tour of Pashupatinath and Boudhanath was great, largely thanks to our guide Santosh! When we mentioned wanting to see the aarati ceremony, he adjusted our tour schedule to accommodate this special experience.Santosh's knowledge of both Hinduism and Buddhism was impressive - he answered all our questions thoughtfully and provided fascinating insights we would have missed on our own. He brought these sacred sites to life with his explanations of the rituals, architecture, and spiritual significance.The tour was perfectly paced, allowing us to fully absorb both locations while learning about their cultural importance. If you're looking for a meaningful introduction to Kathmandu's religious heritage, this tour is highly recommended!

Walking tour of Patan The guide (Santosh) was very friendly and could tell us super much about Patan. We walked through narrow, non-touristy alleys while he told all these interesting facts. Definitely recommended!

Awesome tour Would absolute recommend this tour, Santosh was incredibly knowledgeable and had all sorts of historical facts to share - plus was super friendly!

Super interesting tour Santos is an amazing guide, we made a lot of questions and he responded all. It’s a good idea having a guide in the religious areas for understanding the meaning of the ceremonies and all the symbolism.

Amazing experience Shreya our guide in Kathmandu was great! Very professional, knows her culture, town, history, customs. Always available and smiling.We shared a very nice time together and took us to her own address to try the delicious Nepalese food.I highly recommend Shreya and we are still in touch.

Nepal Tour Guide - Shreya Karki A thoroughly enjoyable and stress free experience with Shreya Karki as our guide during several occasions in our visit to Nepal. Shreya quickly understood our specific interests (such as scenery, architecture, and trying a variety of local foods) and went above and beyond to cater to our wishes. Thank you Shreya! We are incredibly grateful to have met you and to have benefited from your expertise in guiding us through Nepal.

Visit Nepal , unforgettable experience Nepal was truly a unique experience! Nepal is its people and an energy that fills you up. The colors, the nature—everything was perfect. We were lucky to have a local guide, Shreya Karki, in our group, which made the experience not only safe but also elevated it to another level. She shared everything we needed to understand their culture and helped us connect with it. She gave us all the local, non-touristy tips, showing us how to experience the place like a local. From day one, she was with us, always with a smile and positive energy. Last but most importantly, she made us feel safe and assured us that she had everything under control, from any unexpected situations to our needs. It was a top-tier experience! I highly recommend this trip with an experienced local guide like her.

Baje was Incredible✌️ We booked a walking tour to Patan and were lucky to have Bajey as our guide. He knows the city like the back of his hand! The highlight of Patan wasn’t just the monuments, but the narrow alleys he led us through—hidden gems we would’ve never found on our own. That moment sealed the deal—we knew we wanted him as our guide for the rest of our Nepal trip.Finding a good guide had been a challenge for us. The last three guides we hired were dull and uninspiring. But Bajey was the complete opposite—full of energy, charm, and always ready with short and sweet briefings about each place. We bombarded him with questions since Nepal was our first destination in Asia, and everything was new to us. He answered every query with patience and clarity.When we told him about our time constraints and interests, he immediately crafted an itinerary that worked perfectly. He helped us book hotels and arranged a private vehicle so we could make the most of our time.We spent 3 days in Kathmandu exploring UNESCO heritage sites, then 2 nights and 3 days in the lowland Terai at Chitwan. In Chitwan, he knew the best times for everything—thanks to that, we had a private canoe and jeep for our safaris. It honestly felt like all the animals—rhinos, elephants, deer, crocodiles, turtles, and birds—came out to greet us!Then we headed to Pokhara, where we spent another 3 days. He took us to explore waterfalls, caves, and lakes. The best part? Staying at Fishtail Lodge, with its peaceful surroundings and incredible views of the Himalayas from Deurali. The sunrise and sunset over the mountains from Pokhara were simply unforgettable.It turns out, we were benefiting from his background in tourism and culture—he holds a degree in the field and is licensed in three categories: heritage, forest, and mountain!Thank you, Bajey, for everything. We’ll definitely be back for some Himalayan adventures with you!

Very nice! Everything was perfect we had the best tour guide we could have in Nepal! Shreya Karki besides taking us to the top attractions respectively in each city enriched us with a lot of information and knowledge about this wonderful country! Her positive aura and endless energy made us have the best impressions of our trip and I would definitely choose her again on my next trip to Nepal! Namaste 🙏 Thank you for everything Shreya!

Happy I joined Santosh for his patan and swayambhunath tours. He was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited and showed me areas and temples I wouldn’t have found myself. He was very helpful and ensured I was looked after, even helping with a lift. I would definitely recommend a tour with santosh

Shreya, the best tour guide in Nepal!!! Ι was lucky to had the best and experienced person with me in Nepal, with the best, kind and real smile person, misses Shreya Karki!!! I recommend her for her experience and focusing on you, to see all the attractions and pass your time with happiness in Nepal!!! Thank you for all misses Shreyaaaaaa!!!

The best companion on our trip to Nepal. Shreya Karki is an amazing guide with knowledge and willingness to help and explain everything. Made our trip an unforgettable experience.

Passionate about Nepal It was the first time I used the services of a guide while traveling and Santos set a high bar! Not only is he passionate and knowledgeable about Nepal, he really tailored the trip to our interests. Santos was charming company throughout the trip, both to us and everyone we encountered. Highlights for us were some of the not-so-obvious-to-foreign-tourists type aspects - the public passageways through the buildings in Patan, the paper making building with the real Mona Lisa peacock window carving in Bhaktapur, navigating all the inner courtyards in both Durbar Squares, the morning canoe ride/nature walk in Chitwan, the Fishtail Lodge in Pokhara, and the Himalayan sunrise. The stories Santos told throughout the entire trip brought Nepal to life for us. He was very flexible and adjusted our Itinerary when my son was feeling under the weather.

THE BEST tour This tour has been one of the best experiences I have had in Nepal so far. My guide, Santosh, was incredibly helpful from the start, and during the tour he was not only professional, extremely knowledgeable and engaging, but also super attentive to my requests. If you are thinking of visiting Kathmandu, I 100% recommend you to rely on him.

Tour guide I fully recommend Shreya Karki, who is very patient, has deep knowledge of Nepal' s culture! We had a great time! She is an amazing guide

Highly recommended. Z Bajey’em kontaktowałem się przez Instagrama. Bardzo sprawnie i szybko się dogadaliśmy. Ponieważ byłem w Nepalu 18 miesięcy wcześniej znałem stawki i to co zaproponował było bardzo ok. Jest świetnym gościem, posługującym się bardzo dobrym angielskim, z ogromną znajomością historii Nepalu oraz religii (zarówno hinduizmu jak i buddyzmu). Potrafi cały dosłownie czas opowiadać o wszystkim co mijamy czy widzimy. Była to moja trzecia wizyta w Patanie czy Bhaktapur ale nigdy wcześniej przewodnicy nie zabierali nas w te miejsca w których byliśmy z Bajey’em. Zawsze zwiedzanie ograniczało się do kompleksów świątynnych a teraz, pierwszy raz, zostaliśmy naprawdę oprowadzeni po zakamarkach o których istnieniu wcześniej nawet nie miałem pojęcia. Oprócz zwiedzania KTM Bajey zorganizował nam także trekking, na który sam z nami nie poszedł, ale przewodnik którego zaproponował był równie świetny. Dwa tygodnie w Nepalu to był naprawdę fantastyczny czas, i na pewno w dużej mierze dzięki Bajeyowi. Szczerze polecam współpracę z nim przy okazji wizyty w tym kraju.

Amazing Santosh was amazing with all his knowledge and small anecdotes on Katmandu history I’ve spent a great time and highly recommend it ! Thanks you for your advices on how to find a tailor for a beautiful dress 👗

Very passionate guide! Very passionate guide. Super friendly and wants to help you with everything. Has a lot of knowlegde since he studied culture, history and archeology!

Recommended! Our guide told us a lot about the different places we visited. The guide is enthusiastic and talks with passion. You also get to places you might not go so quickly at first. The guide gave many interesting facts and information, recommended!

really nice tour I was very excited about Bajey's tour, and I would really recommend it if you would like to know a lot about Nepal's culture and Hinduism. I really liked that he had a lot to say and had answers to all our questions. You noticed very clearly that he knew a lot about what he was telling. I also liked that he paid close attention to the fact that the whole group was still there after, for example, a busy crossing. There was also a moment when I didn’t want to join the tour because I found the cremations too intense to see, but I wanted to hear the information he told the rest, then he later went back to tell me in person what he had told the rest before. I really liked that. I would definitely take another tour of Bajey:)

Guided tour Kathmandu The guide has explained a lot about Hinduism and Buddhism. He took all the time to answer our questions. It was nice to see his enthusiasm when he talks about his faith and the traditions and rituals

Guided tour in Katmandu It was a round trip at Pashupatinath and Boudanath. An enthusiastic guide who talks with passion. And who answered all questions calmly.

Great experience The guide was very knowledgeable about the topic. His enthusiasm for teaching and sharing stories about Hinduism and Buddhism was truly evident, making the experience even more engaging.

Kathmandu with Guided Baje Row The guides are very patient and attentive, and have a good knowledge of the history and culture of Nepal, from the origin of the ancient stories of Nepal to the folk culture. The questions I asked were answered patiently along the way, and we talked about everyday topics during our coffee break together. Like friends, he felt his sincerity, love for life and sense of responsibility from the conversation. You can also learn about the simplicity and simplicity of the Nepalese people in them. So why not a contrast to our Chinese notion. Those who like Nepali history and culture, folk customs, do not miss him, highly recommended.

A historic city tour On Baje’s guided city tour we were able to get to know Kathmandu from another side. The tour began near Durban Square, from where Baje took us from monuments through temples and markets we would never have found or noticed on our own, masterfully introducing us to both the history and religious customs of Buddism, Hinduism and Islam in Kathmandu. After a coffee break we entered Durban Square itself, met the Nepalese goddess Kumari herself and spent the last hour of the tour in the numerous museums - which were almost brought alive by the extensive knowledge of our guide. All in all, I can only recommend Baje as a city guide. He speaks fluent English and his degree in Nepalese history, as well as the well-designed routes of his tours show Kathmandu in a new light.

Very interesting ! We walked into thamel and old city of kathmandu to discover cultural aspect and storie of the town and the country, with a part about hippie era

Swayambhunath with a great guide We had a great time with Santosh. He has taken a lot of time for us and has an almost endless knowledge of Nepal, its culture and religion. We had many opportunities to ask questions & enough time to look at everything. If you are looking for a guide with passion, you will definitely find it at Santosh.

The best guide with knowledge of Nepal Santosh is wonderful. We did a trek with him as a guide. When we returned to Kathmandu we took a few tours around the city. Santosh's knowledge of the Nepalese culture is fabulous. We saw and experienced events we never would have known existed without our guide. If you need a guide Santosh is the one.

Nepal-mustang-moto-jeep-adventure Shreya is an experienced guide who leads her guests through the beautiful landscapes of Nepal with heart and soul. She is very knowledgeable about Kathmandu. I highly recommend Shreya

Our favorite tour guide! Our living Google! Highly recommended! Santosh is a very knowledgeable guide! We asked him everything and he knows all the secrets of the places in Kathmandu! Staying with him is like taking a journey immersed in Nepalese Hindu and Buddhist culture! It knows everything, better than Google! 🙂 It was a unique experience, professionalism, competence and availability! A sincere friendship was born!

Really good pick for an informative and fun tour day I went with Santosh and two other friends to the monkey temple and it was great. Santosh really knows a lot about the city and can talk forever. But he also offered that if we need more time to just be in the moment, we should just tell him and he will let us some space. So he really adjusts to the need of the group. Furthermore, he really goes beyond what other tour guide do. He offered to pick us up with his motorcycle to even give us a better tour of the city and not just the monkey temple. We didn’t have the time for something bigger, so we declined. But still! If you want to get to know Kathmandu with a knowledgable and fun person, go with Santosh 🙂

Excellent city tour Shreya was very knowledgeable and patient and allowed me to explore the various venues we visited. She took personal interest in what I wanted to get out of the tour and make the necessary arrangements

Excellent tour Excellent tour, lots of explanations, history and culture. The guide adapted the visit to my pace. Take time to answer my questions. Would recommend.

Excellent experience in Nepal! The explanation is very careful. If there are words we don’t understand along the way, he will explain it to us in more detail. They treated us very considerately and friendly, making us feel very warm and humorous. On the way, my friend was acclimatized and he was very good at preparing medicine and edible food for us. The experience was very, very good. I highly recommend everyone to travel with him when you come.

Awesome Walking Trip of Nepal He is very good in nature, has good knowledge of Nepal and its history. Easy to communicate, I remember he also helped me to do currency exchange in good rates with the help of local indians. Really helpful person and good vibes

Amazing Santosh is a really nice and peacefull person. I felt good with him, I really enjoyed the rythm of the visit and the lot of informations that he provided to me. So interesting and relaxing. I really felt the holy energy of this wonderful place.

Interesting insights I had a very good time with Santosh. We visited various important places in Kathmandu. He explained to me everything very well as he has a huge knowledge about cultures and religions. Moreover, he was very flexible with the schedule because I wasn’t feeling good physically. I would definitely recommend the tour.

An amazing tour. Best guide ever. Santosh was an amazing guide. He shows me narrow alleys, wide courtyards, royal palace and living goddess Kumari but i was not that lucky to get a blessing from kumari as there was a rituals going on. Recommend this tour to others to see authentic culture of kathmandu valley especially of newar community.

Patan Dubar Square tour The tour was amazing, I was able to see and feel upclose the place; the Patan museum is a must visit to learn more about art, culture, and history.

A day in Kathmandu Best experience in Kathmandu, informative, helpful, knowledgeable, totally recommended, 5 stars for Santosh.

As at home I went alone and i felt as at home. I really recommend this tour&guide&everything. For sure if i return i would repeat with you. Thank you so much!

What a Amazing TRIP It was amazing trip in Nepal✌I was so happy because of Santosh was really nice.and also super patient with me! I always have a lot of questions,am just like kid that keep curious to the world! Well,I am doing a solo trip here,he totally made me feel very safe and comfortable, highly suggested it!

Amazing santos, thank you! There name of them is the so right, the tour is very amazing, santos the guide is so professional, he takes you to see the right places, not trying to push you sovenirs or other things.

Nice place very good Take care us all time... Great Experience.I love Kathmandu and NepalThank Guide kaa..💖💖💖🦋🦋🦋🫶🏻🫶🏻

A tour of REAL Kathmandu I have had the chance to meet Santosh via Instagram, I just dm him and from the first text he has shown kindness - I have been around on his motorbike to authentic and tourist posts, he knows the city like his fingers, he is not money oriented if you are a woman alone this man is respectful, kind and responsible. Santosh is passionate by architecture, history, culture he is very invested in his role as a guide and I can say from the bottom of my heart, he has been generous, in time, knowledge in kindness also a great photographer! I recommend, the sweetest guy ever! Kindly, Lella

Knowledgeable and kind guide Santosh is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and very kind guide. I did two tours with him and enjoyed both very much. He really tries to get to know his clients, is thoughtful, and open to special needs. I would definitely recommend him!

What a great experience!!!! I had the privilege of spending a couple of days with Santosh. The experience was better than expected. I spend with him 3 full days. First we went to Lumbini, the place where buddha was born, and then we spend 2 full days in Katmandu. During those days, Snatosh proofed he is an expert in Nepalese history and culture. In Lumbini, he managed the time to go in a day around all the temples in the garden and went to the palace where Buddha lived. During this day, he shared enlightening information about culture and religion. I would love to point out that I'm a western with not a lot of context about hinduism and buddhism. Santosh is a expert not only in culture and history, also in adapting the speech to a western tourist eager to learn but without a lot of context on the field.The two days we spent in Katmandú were unforgettable thanks to Santosh's work. He knowns all the secrets in the city! I love how we always organize the trips with tours that includes the basics of the city but also he always show secrets and more local places that make the experience in Katmandú unforgettable. Thank you so much Santosh for the incredible work you've done. If you are looking for a expert in the Nepalese history and culture Santosh is your guide!

Thank you for the valuable experience It was a specially arranged tour.I am satisfied with the very polite explanation and the arrangement of the valuable experience.

Monket temple detailed tour We went with santosh to the monkey temple and got a long tour with all the details we wanted.Lots of history! Santosh knew to answer all our questions and explained everything with such excitment!He made sure we will se everything and have a great tour.If you need a guide, definetally go with him, he is the guy for you!

Great tours!!!! Fantastic! Our lovely Santosh was very knowledgeable, he told us the wonderful stories and was very charming. We saw the most amazing sights. Best walking tours in Katmandau. 😊😁

morning walk to Swayambhunath morning walk with Santosh to Swayambhunath was so much fun. Morning is the best time to visit the temple. Santosh was ready to pick up on time. He walked me around the temple and explained in detail. even though my walk was slow, he patiently waited for me 😁unforgettable experience with Santosh. I think if your time is limited like me and want to know about Swayambhunath temple better join a walking tour like me. Anyway, Santosh also knows good photo spots and he took pictures of me too. I am very grateful to Santosh. I hope you are always happy, healthy and successful 🙏 greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩

Morning walking tour I took the morning walking tour, it's a nice way to explore the famous religious sites of the city. I had a really great time, Santosh is an excellent guide!
