Best choice for a first visit to Kathmandu. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who visits Kathmandu. Prakash is incredibly knowledgable and showed me the main sights in two days. I learnt about history, art, culture and much more.
Prakash was very informative and I recommend him as a guide for your trip to Kathmandu. I wanted to learn more about Tantra and tantric religion and practices in Nepal. He went out of his way to do the research and find attractions for us to visit.
Both parts of the trip are memorable and enjoyable; at the time of the sunrise visit, the temp was 7C, but that didn't seem to deter the groups at all. The sunrise location is a short drive away from Kathmandu and you're treated to a view of the hills around the city, and if you've a good seat in your vehicle you could catch some nice views of the terraced hillsides on your way to Bhaktapur. Prakash pointed out the different mountains in the distance, and also answered any questions I had while we were waiting for the sun to make its appearance.
Prakash was in his element during the second part of the journey to Bhaktapur (the entry ticket is 1500 NPR, apprx $11 USD. If you think you'll be returning to this area the following day, ask your guide to inform the ticket counter- all you'll need is your passport no). He's very knowledgeable about the different temples and sites throughout the Patan area, along with sharing the history behind temples and monasteries we stopped at.
If you've a few hours to spare, this tour - and Prakash as your guide - is definitely the one for you. Bonus - at the sunrise location, there's tea coffee, and some snacks available to help you out. Side note, a public toilet is not available at the sunrise location, but one can be found about a 5 minute drive away.
My Dad and I had a wonderful time touring Kathmandu with Prakash. It rained all day but that didn’t stop us from getting out and seeing so many amazing places around the city!
I was extremely satisfied with Attractive tours and travels, Mr Prakash has proven to be courteous,professional and helpful from the very beginning trying to organise the tour in the best possible way. Thank you Mr Prakash. Will definetly recommend to our friends. Wishing u good luck with ur future endeavor
