More Facts

Kathmandu is an ancient, culturally rich amphitheater-like valley of lush mountains in the Himalayan foothills. While its mountain ridges offer magnificent views of snow peaks atop charismatic valleys and layers of mountains, its ancient cities were hubs for trans-Himalayan trade and spiritual studies. Walking through its old areas feel like walking back into the time. In the backstreet of its bustling market, neighborhoods laid-back in time exhibits ancient monasteries, temple, pavilions and shrunken waterspouts with marvelous  art and craft. Similarly the outskirt and mountain ridges of the valley make ground for excellent nature walks and hikes with cultural insight and Himalayan views.

    Kathmandu, 5 day's experience !

    Rating:

    I came to Nepal from China for 5 days. I decided to stay in Kathmandu. As I am interested in religion, spirituality and nature, I decided to divide my stay in 2 parts - 3 days in different parts of the capital and two walks/hikes around Kathmandu. I am a solo female traveler, so on my first visit of Nepal I decided to book a private tour with i Tour Nepal. The whole tour was organised very nicely, logically hence everything went smoothly. I was picked up from the airport on my arrival and taken to the hotel. Next day my private guide Rabi picked me up from the hotel and by private car took me to explore historical centre of Kathmandu. Rabi is a very knowledgeable, well-educated guide who understands the needs and interests of his clients. We were able to explain very clearly difficult concepts connected to Buddhism, Hinduism and Tantrism. He explained symbolism of the painting and carvings. It wasn't just sightseeing tour, it was an educational experience. On another day Rabi took me to two other significant parts of Kathmandu. It was a walking tour with stops at market places, museums, local lesser places and ceramic workshops. Rabi took great care of me - answered all the questions, modified the tour according to my preferences and needs and just made me feel home in Nepal. Other two days were walks/hikes around Kathmandu with another local guide. It was a pleasant walk. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend this travel agency and Mr Rabi particularly for those who want to know Kathmandu better and enjoy trouble free stay in Nepal.

  • First time in Nepal but hopefully not my last !

    Rabi arranged a number of one day short treks for me and a two day tour of Kathmandu. These were either led by Rabi or Prabin. Both are excellent, experienced guides. They both have great expertise and are determined to ensure visitors have a rewarding time. The tours were always well planned and using a local driver meant a great many sites could be visited in a single day without ever feeling hurried. Do not hesitate to use the services of I Tour Nepal - I doubt there is a better small trekking company in Kathmandu!
