Trishuli River rafting from Kathmandu: private AC car, class 2-3 rapids, resort meals, and campfire night in 2 days.
“It was a great trip. The views were amazing and it was so adventurous. The waves of trisuli river got the rafting feeling like scary but very exciting and it felt so good. The cuisine and dishes were excellent and it'll be a great time to be with some peaceful environment with your favourite ones. At the least me and my friends, we all enjoyed it, we enjoyed it a lot.”
A low-stress 1-night Nagarkot escape from Kathmandu with sunrise views, Bhaktapur heritage stops, and Changu Narayan temple on day two.
“A beautiful and pleasant experience! Looking for a not too complicated outing that allowed to leave Kathmandu and see the Himalayan mountains, this 2-day package turned out to be a very good option. The sunrise at Nargakot from the hotel is great, the stop on the 1st day at Bhaktapur allows you to take the time to see all the points of interest (plan to buy tickets and guide). The driver was very friendly, asking us what we wanted, on the way back we were able to discover the site of the Pashupatinath temple... An experience that will remain a nice memory!”
