Ranjan has been my guide on a few trips to Nepal and I can't say enough about him. He has taken me and my friend on great tours around Kathmandu and other parts of the Kathmandu Valley. We weren't interested in hiking but mostly interested in the culture, shopping and the historical sites.
He took us deep into the shopping areas of Thamel which was a great cultural experience. Ask him to take you to the market where salt is sold in huge chunks. Wow! What a great expereince that was. I still have salt here at my house.
I also got honey from the bee keepers who rob bees from the cliffs up in the mountains. Another Wow!
My friend and I love to shop so he took us on the winding side streets of old Thamel. He was always able to get us a better deal since the shop keepers knew him. What a lovely adventure that was. We also stayed down in a little hotel in Thamel so we could be close to the shops and food. Ranjan also knew all the little resturants where we ate and never got sick.
The last night I was there he arranged for me to get a massage. That $15.00 hour long massage was worth every dime before I got on the plane. I am not sure it will be $15.00 in 2022, but it will be worth whatever price you pay.
Most of all, Ranjan and his family have kept in touch with me for many years. I have watched him get married, have a child and live through the pandemic.
He is a good and honest man. He will treat you right and you will enjoy the special time you spend in Nepal.
My daughter and I had just finished trekking and want to explore the city and understand some of the cultural events and places. We spent and amazing day with Ranjan, he is very knowledgeable, fun to be with and flexible. I would recommend him to any going to Kathmandu
