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.
