A pleasant cultural immersion I had a great time during this 3 hour walking tour with Santosh! He is a very knowledgeable about Swayambhu and the cultural stories about different religions.

Amazing experience! I had the pleasure of joining a guided trip to Nepal with a travel agency, and Shreya was our local guide throughout the journey. She was absolutely fantastic — warm, welcoming, and full of humour. From the very first day, she made us feel safe, informed, and fully immersed in the local culture.She was always patient with our questions and adapted the pace of the tour to match the group’s needs. Her sense of humour brought a light and joyful atmosphere to the trip, making every day enjoyable and memorable.Thanks to her, we experienced Nepal in a truly authentic and meaningful way. I can’t recommend Shreya highly enough — she truly made our trip unforgettable!

Great day with Bajey! Knowledgeable and funny Bajey is the best guide ever! We had a great day exploring the city and sights, got to learn so much about the local’s life and history. Feeling transformed and soul cleansed! 超推荐Bajey，他真的知识很渊博聊的很开心！

Nice city walk A truly fantastic tour. Santosh has a wealth of knowledge and can tell it through great stories. The three hours flew by. Thanks, Santosh, and we'd love to do it again. 120% recommendation

Great experience! Amazing walking tour! We covered so much of Kathmandu and saw a ton. I’m a solo female traveler and felt totally safe. The guide was super knowledgeable and really took the time to explain what we were seeing. Highly recommend, especially if you are short on time.

An experience worth... A memory unforgettable. Very beautiful places. Breathtaking views and the guide from Kathmandu @ Mr. Santosh, very nice and amazing talent. (Highly recommended) The food and culture was purely loss of words to us. Thank you.

Unforgettable walking tour A fantastic walking tour to Swayambhunath with Santosh. Santosh took a lot of time for me and explained everything. I had lots of questions about religion, Nepalese culture and everyday life. Santosh is great at explaining things and has very extensive knowledge of customs, culture and history. Thank you for the great tour. Absolutely recommendable.

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
