Wij bestelden last minuten een sunrise tour en dayhike in Nagarkot. Er werd voor vertrek heel duidelijke info gegeven via Whatsapp. De gids Ram stond ons optijd op te wachten in lobby van ons hotel. De dag Tour en sunrise was heel erg mooi en de gids gaf ons heel veel info over de Nepalese cultuur, de natuur etc. Een hele fijne gids die open staat voor een fijne babbel en ons erg veel wist te vertellen. Er wordt ook op het tempo van de wandelaars gestapt en er is voldoende tijd om leuke foto's te trekken en van het uitzicht te genieten. Zeker een aanrader als je een rustige hike wil doen en een niet zo super getrainde wandelaar bent!
My fiancé, myself and a friend of ours was in Kathmandu for a work trip. We had a 1 day off and decided to go on a tour at Nagarkot to watch the sunrise. We booked the tour and we met Ram as our tour guide. He definitely is the perfect role model as a tour guide. Everything about him is top notch, be it his personality, his knowledge, everything. Really had a wonderful time with him and truly is a pleasure having him as our tour guide! Thank you Ram! Highly recommend him to be your tour guide if anyone had a choice.
I've really looked forward about this program. And they satisfied by hope so if I go back to Nepal, I will ask here to take me another place also. I cannot forget the moment that I saw the view of Himalaya until now.... I could eat breakfast right infront(?) of the mountain...!! It was wonderful. I recommend this program very much!!
We had an amazing time with Ram at Nagarkot. The sunrise was beautiful and the view of the mountains was incredible. We had breakfast with stunning views. The walk was through a lovely village and Ram pointed out the best spots for photos. It was great to talk with Ram, he shared a lot of information about Nepal and living in Nepal. He gave us information about our upcoming treks (despite already booking through another company)- He is also a trek guide. Thank you Ram for our experience, we had a great time 🙏
The view of sunrise was amazing. The guide Ram explained all the mountain range and view seen from there very clearly. In future also I again choose Treklanders Adventures for other tours and trekking. Highly Recommend!!
The Nagarkot sunrise trek with Ram as my guide was a perfect way to spend an early morning away from Kathmandu. Ram was super friendly and knowledgeable about the local customs and festivals and was open about sharing his own experiences growing up in Nepal. The views from the Nagarkot tower were beautiful even though there were some clouds obstructing the views of the most distant mountain peaks. After an hour or so of taking photos, Ram and I sat down for some tea and chatted before heading over to a resort for breakfast with a phenomenal view. From there, we took a short drive down to the trailhead and hiked for a few hours. The valley views were gorgeous and Ram happily pointed out some spots for ideal photo opportunities. We briefly stopped at a Hindu temple where Ram explained some of the history and customs that are observed in the region. We discussed what it's like living in Nepal and I felt like I gained some real insight into the experience of a local. It turns out that Ram also guides longer expeditions and provided me with valuable insight into my upcoming trek even though I had already booked it with a different company. If I could have gone back in time and booked with Treklanders and Ram, I would have! Highly recommend these guys for their professionalism and knowledge!
Amazing views of all the different ranges right at the top. Beautiful but it was really freezing before the sun rose, so really layer up to enjoy yourself more! Breakfast was equally stunning with a view of the mountains and a wide spread. Trek back down was lots of fun with the views of the villages and different animals in the area. Guide was knowledgeable and driver was friendly & kept us safe. we had the best time. Thank you for the lovely experience :-)
The tour offers the chance to witness a magnificent Himalayan sunrise plus the view of the terraced farmland, evergreen forests, waterfalls, age-old villages, and quiet rural landscapes.
