Traveller reviews

“Dipendra did an amazing job! He is the best tour guide I've ever meet ! The knowledge of all the destinations we did just on point! We really appreciate what he did for us! Thank you so much. See you agin sometimes in the future!”

“7 UNESCO sites in one tour is ambitious but possible, there are lots of stairs so fitness and comfortable shoes are a must. The tour guide was kind and very knowledgeable. it was a nice group of travellers from all over the world and we had so much fun.”

“The perfect way to see the sights of Kathmandu in a day. Comfortable van with a lovely driver and Dipendra was a great guide, informative and fun. Would highly recommend!”

“Our tour with Dipendra in Kathmandu was truly memorable. He explained every site very well, making the history and culture easy to understand and appreciate. The entire day was beautifully organized, and all the sights we visited were stunning. I especially enjoyed the visit to the Mandala Art School and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Thank you, Dipendra, for such a wonderful and unforgettable day!”

“A great day spent in Kathmandu my guide was very informative and friendly. Saw all the major attractions of the city with a good driver too!”

“Dipendra was an amazing guide. We had a lot of fun and he explained to us everything. I recommand him!”

“Had a lot of fun with our guide Dipendra - funny guy with a big knowledge”

“The day went superb. We covered the sites we visited very well. The Pashupatinath temple was definitely a site to be seen. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.”

“The day was long and hot but it was so worth it because our guide dipendra was very knowledgeable and I could tell a professional who took his job seriously but also very flexible and patient with everyone's questions. Was the perfect amount of being able to do your own thing whilst receiving all the necessary information. His English is VERY good, something that grinds my gears is when guides don't have command over the English language.. anyways no problem with dipendra. 10/10 don't hesitate if you have a short timetable of being in kathmandu this tour is a great way of knocking it all out in one day.”

“Five stars for Dipendra! I toured all seven UNESCO sites in Kathmandu with him, and he was fantastic. His deep knowledge of the architecture, religious traditions, and local history added so much value to the trip. He was easy to communicate with, very professional, and set a perfect pace for us to enjoy each site. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Kathmandu Valley!”

“Dipendra was a great guide. Did a super job all day long”

“If you come to Nepal for only a short time, then this tour is definitely a must do since it covers all 7 sites in 1 day. Our guide Dipendra was very knowledgeable, you can ask him anything about Nepalese culture and he took very good care of the whole group from start to end. Had such a good learning experience with this tour.”

“Big day but a great day :-) Shout out to our guide Dipendra - super knowledgeable and friendly! Awesome way to see the city and find out about the history. Definitely recommend if you're wanting to cover some ground!”

“I recently completed the 7 UNESCO Sites tour in Nepal with our guide, Dipndra. Overall it was a very well organised experience. Dipndra was friendly, knowledgeable, considerate, and always happy to help throughout the tour. He explained the history and cultural significance of each site clearly, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Personally, I did not enjoy the cremation part of the tour, but that is purely down to personal preference rather than the tour itself. Aside from that, I really enjoyed all of the other sites and appreciated how smoothly the day was managed. Overall, a great way to explore Nepal's UNESCO heritage sites. 5* for Dipndra as a Guide, will definitely be recommending this tour to my peers.”

“We had a great time during the tour. We had selected the 4-stop tour which covered Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), the cremation ghat at Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa and Patan Darbar Square. Our guide, Dipendra, was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the history behind each of the spots with great detail. My only suggestion would be to change the name of the tour, or split the tours for 4-spots or 7-spots.”

“Dipendra was an outstanding tour guide—very knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and culture behind every spot we visited. His insights made the experience much more meaningful and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an informative and memorable tour!”

“thanls Dip great history humour and food.”

“A fantastic day seeing some of Kathmandu's most iconic sights with Dipendra- his knowledge and enthusiasm was absolutely incredible and I loved every minute of the trip. I would highly recommend Dipendra and this trip to anyone wanting to get the full cultural experience of Kathmandu!”

“I had the best day with guide Dipendra. As I was the only one booked for the group tour, they asked me to pay a small amount more and then I had my own private tour :) The collection from my hotel was great. We went to all the sites listed, I never felt rushed at all. He gave the best history with a lot of enthusiasm and I learnt so much. He gave so much attention and let me decide how long to be in any of the places. It was an amazing day - definitely recommend choosing this tour 🙏”

“The tour was very comfortable! Thanks to our guide, Mr. Dipendra Dharel, for his excellent preparation, flexibility, knowledge, and willingness to answer any questions. It was a wonderful experience!”

“Dipendra is a great guide. He is very profesional at his job and listens carefully to your expectations. Tour was a perfect for half day flight stop-over in Katmandu. Exceeded my expectations. Will definitely come back”

“I really enjoy that day trip,highly recommended,my tour quide Ram was very knowledgable,polite ,kind.Thank you .”

“Big thank you to Ram and his team on creating for us an awesome and exciting experience in Nepal. We went on a trek to the gokyo and everest region and the guide, Bishnu and porter were extremely friendly and helpful. They definitely made the trek much more fun and also the guide was extremely helpful in finding us the best rooms in lodges and found us extra blankets when needed. Hearing from other trekkers there are definitely some doggy guides but Bishnu is extremely experienced and treated us like family and cooked us the most amazing dahl bhat you will have in nepal :) arriving at the airport and not knowing anything Ram and his team were there to take us to the hotel and made us extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend going with Ram and his team for your experience in Nepal. They are definitely the most friendly, helpful and value for money!!!!”

“I will be eternally grateful that I answered a Facebook advert by Yoga teacher Alexandra Bruin to join her Yoga trekking holiday. Alexandra had joined with Ram Sapkota’s Himalayan Social to organise a 12-day holiday that inspired, thrilled, moved and exhausted me. Ram is old school and by that I mean his word is his bond – if you are lucky enough to meet the man – who donates 10% of his profits to community projects – you will understand. Meeting him was not a problem either because he made sure he was there to see us off on the first morning of the holiday and there to take us for a cultural meal on the last night before personally seeing me to my ride to the airport for my return home. The Himalayan Social guide looking after us was Bishnu and the porter was Binod. Over the next 12 days I quickly came to realise that we had been blessed because they were without a shadow of a doubt the best most personable friendly knowledgeable team out of those that we met on the trek looking after other groups. Not only that but when the guides got together to provide some Nepalese folk singing and dancing it was clear that Bishnu was the best dancer on the mountain. I have had a regular yoga practice for 2-3 years now at a yoga centre where teachers come and go but only the best survive. Alexandra would have no trouble making herself a permanent fixture at any yoga centre that was lucky enough to benefit from her patronage. Her Yoga instruction is excellent, so much so that she had the Bishnu & Binon accomplishing poses it took me a year to master (and I’m using the word master loosely). This was her second year doing the trekking / yoga tour and it was obvious that she was there because she has fallen in love with the country and the people and has taken Ram’s charitable causes to her heart. I have said a lot about the people because by the end of the holiday I felt I we had all bonded as friends and I know if Alexandra does the tour next year she will insist on having Bishnu & Binon on her team. I would have been happy with the friendship and the spectacular scenery alone but am happy to confirm that the town hotels and the tea houses selected by Himalayan Social were to a very good standard often providing a standard of service / accommodation & facilities that exceeded my expectations. Throw in the city guided tours and you have what is a fantastic holiday at unbelievable value for money. So if you are thinking of booking a holiday through Himalayan Social or through Alexandra – do not worry, you will be in excellent hands.”
