Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur) Tours and Tickets

"Fantastic tour! Lots to see and learn going all around the valley. Weather was perfect and guide was a wealth of knowledge."

"Our guide Jamuna was very accommodating and informative. She was very easy going and also very flexible during the tour adjusting the tour to our preference."

"Amazing city! Sadly the day was cloudy and we could not see the mountains but that isn’t the tour guide’s fault. Was pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of the guide."

"Rudi is a professional guide with lots of knowledge. It was a great day with lots of sightseeing of amazing places. This tour I highly recommend! Especially if you want to know more about spirituality, boeddhisme and hindoeisme."

"The first day in new place is always hard and can be very nervous, but wit this city tour I felt almost like in the city of my friends. The guide Birodh very quick help me to find myself in new place and put his best commitment to make my time amazing and full of best memories. BR Lukas (Poland)"

"There are more tour companies in Nepal than tourists. They all want your business. I really cannot believe that any will look after you quite so well as this one - Asian Heritage Treks and Expeditions Despite (being very busy I am sure) running 5 or 6 other businesses, the owner Nilam made sure to check up periodically that I was enjoying the tour. I had some issues near the beginning (not the company’s fault) yet they went out of their way to do everything they could to fix it so that my trip was worry free and magical. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness. The company’s office is around the corner from the Kathmandu hotel, if you pop by you will be personally welcomed by Nilam for a fascinating chat and lovely cup of Nepalese tea. The company has been established for over 10 years, it shows because their guides were professional & knowledgable, all qualified and accredited. My admiration for this company depended when I found out that they had donated money to build a hospital in the mountain region (Neecha Community Hospital) giving quicker access to care in remote places. You will find that Nepalese roads outside of the city are quite bumpy, taking a while to travel between places. TOUR: A mix of everything you could want, the city, nature (I saw rhinos!) temples, stunning mountain views. The only two places where you need to walk up stairs are Sagarkot & Pokhara. Not a necessity, but better for views. You’re given plenty of time and rest. Both took less than 30 mins. FOOD: You have breakfast in the morning & the guides always ask you when you want to stop for lunch. And they always seem to know the best restaurants for the nicest views to sit, relax and eat/drink!! Wonderful TOIlETS: I wasn’t sure how abundant they would be? I shouldn’t have worried. Shopkeepers even families were very friendly and allowed me to use theirs. Start practicing your Hindi squat (yoga pose) before you go, there aren’t many Western toilets when you are on the road. HOTELS: These had Western loos and all the mod cons. Bring a long extension lead (plugs not near beds) & torch in lieu of a light near the beds. lKathmandu and Pokhara are busier & noisier cities. Bring your earplugs. The Chitwan Hotel had an elephant in residence! I cannot recommend this company enough, they really care about your experience. They are knowledgeable, experienced, & donate 10% of their profits to charity. I booked 2 more trips with them afterwards which were just as wonderful."

"The trip was amazing, from beginning to end. They picked me up at the bus station and made sure I was comfortable during my stay at the Seven Star Hotel. My room was comfortable...with all the amenities, plus the food was delicious -- the manager Ramesh Prasai went above and beyond to make sure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Immediately after my arrival, I was greeted by my guide Arun -- he was very professional, friendly and accomodating. He is a Chitwan native and well versed in the local flora & fauna. Arun took me sightseeing and took care of all the safari logistics. To sweeten up the deal, he also arranged a local cuisine dinner."

"We booked a tour on the Poon Hill Trek. The tour takes four days to walk, plus one day to get to Pokhara and one day to get back to Kathmandu. The transfers to Pokhara and back are included. We had an awesome guide (Santosh), who was always in a good mood, helpful and overall a great companion. We also had good luck and did the tour with only two persons, and the company manager told us that they always aim at keeping the groups quite small. I can only recommend doing the Poon Hill Trek with this company as they are very reliable and friendly. The Poon Hill Trek is perfect to get a first impression of trekking in Nepal as it offers nice views (especially on the third morning) and a beautiful path through nature. (Note however that it includes some stairs.) Overall a great experience!"

"Really great trip, Rabina our tour guide was really good, she was very friendly and knew about everything, was one of the best tour guides we had on any holiday would highly recommend going with this company and would be so lucky if you get her, can not stress how good this tour was."

"Learned a lot. Krishna was very accommodating fluent in English language just need to talk slower. He knows the subject matter really well. Hard working"
