I had the pleasure of touring Nepal with Susan Manandhar as my guide, and I can confidently say she made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we met, Susan's warmth and professionalism were evident. She possesses an in-depth knowledge of Nepal's history, culture, and natural beauty, which she shared with enthusiasm and clarity. Whether we were exploring ancient temples or navigating local markets, Susan was always ready with interesting facts, stories, and thoughtful insights. She took the time to tailor the experience to our interests and was incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring we were comfortable and well-informed at every stop. Susan’s deep love for Nepal is contagious, and her genuine care for her clients made me feel like I was in good hands throughout the trip. Her recommendations for local food, hidden gems, and off-the-beaten-path attractions were spot-on, and I truly felt like I was experiencing Nepal through the eyes of a local expert. If you’re planning a trip to Nepal, I highly recommend Susan Manandhar as a guide. She is professional, knowledgeable, and above all, passionate about showing visitors the very best of her beautiful country.

Susan Manandhar: The Ultimate Nepal Guide - Fantastic Trip, Excellent Communication

We had only a short time in Nepal, and we found Susan Manandhar through Tour HQ. She made our trip fantastic. We were in India, and the Nepal was a last minute add-on. I asked her to help me plan and itinerary, and she came up with great ideas. Communication was excellent--I sent a request through Tour HQ and heard back promptly. She was in touch before our time in Nepal and sent detailed information about where to meet, what we were doing, and so on. We had a private driver and then Susan helped us see all the sites we wanted to. She filled us in on everything we saw and also answered many of our questions. We felt that we had her full attention the whole time, and she also helped answer questions about visas, money exchange and so on. She made a lot of suggestions about on-our-own activities as well, which was great. One thing I appreciated was there was no pressure to buy or visit places to make purchases. She only helped when we asked. Beautiful country and having Susan as a guide made the trip seamless. Highly highly recommend!!

Last weekend I had a wonderful tour with Susan in Kathmandu. She is full of passion for her country and perfect in sharing her knowledge. We had interesting talks and walks and I was happy to find a female guide as a female solo traveller. Overall a perfect experience and I will for sure come back and book her again. Thank you so much Susan ! You are a wonderful person.

Namaste, I just completed an overnight tour of Khatmandu, Bhaktapur and Nagarkot with Susan Manandhar from Tour HQ. From the get-go, Susan was responsive to my questions and interests, even before I arrived in Nepal. Once I landed in Kathmandu, she expertly led me through her hometown city, interpreting the various cultures that intermix in this fascinating metropolis. Through the plazas, markets and back alleys of Bhaktapur, Susan showed me why this an important UNESCO World Heritage Site and not to be missed on any Nepal trip. A spontaneous stop at a locals-only momo stand now stands one of my all-time favorite meals. Then, I spent a night at a charming country inn in Nagarkot, where I was able to take photos of a Himalayan sunrise right from my private deck. I highly recommend Susan as a guide in Nepal, as I came away from this tour with a deep impression of the country and its cultures, peoples and landscapes, thanks to her. I would most definitely hire her again the next time I visit this wonderful country. As Susan taught me, NEPAL: Never Ending Peace and Love. Best place on Earth.

With grace, Susan brought a wealth of knowledge and humanity to my Kathmandu Valley visit. I would use her again, and highly recommend her to anyone who wants an insider's trip through Nepal. She took me off the beaten path and into charming neighborhoods, introducing me to a Living Princess, a homestay in a 17th century village, a high-end resort in the mountains, and numerous religious and culturual sites. And she's humble.

Susan is an amazing guide. I spent two days with her and, as a first time visitor to Nepal, she took me to the most important places to visit in the Kathmandu valley. Her explanations made those places come alive as she explained the historical significance as well as the current cultural importance of these places to the nepali people. I will certainly recommend Susan to my friends who are planning to visit Nepal and when I come back, I will be asking her to take me on more tours of this amazing place.

I had the pleasure of having Susan as my guide through many parts of Kathmandu. She was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, thoughtful and accommodating (keeping in mind my comfort and finding a restaurant where we could eat though most were closed for a holiday). She answered all my questions about the Nepalese religion and culture and was enthusiastic about showing me temples and sites off the beaten track. I was very happy to find and support a female guide in Nepal and I would recommend her again without any hesitation. All the best to you Susan....until my next visit in Nepal.

Susan is absolutely incredible!  We had asked her to put together several day long tours centered around the arts and she did not disappoint!  She introduced us to a traditional Thangka painter, ceramicist, singing bowl metalsmiths, a sign painter,  and so much more.  She also had superb knowledge of the history and locations making the tours incredibly interesting.  In addition she was also able to recommend the best restaurants which typically also had stunning views.  I highly recommend Susan, she is so pleasant and was an absolute joy to spend time with.

Susan is a fantastic tour guide. I had the privilege of touring KTM with a small group of travelers, and Susan planned a perfect day for us that included both popular sights and unique experiences. The day was well-organized and scheduled and Susan did an excellent job of personalizing the experience for our group. Her extensive knowledge about local history and culture enriched  my experience in Nepal.  I highly recommend a tour with Susan!
