Swayambhunath Stupa
Next, we’ll visit the Swayambhunath Temple, nestled atop a hill in the bustling city of Kathmandu, Nepal, also known as the "Monkey Temple." This ancient Buddhist shrine is not only a sacred site but also an architectural marvel that is steeped in history and mystique.
As you explore the complex, you'll discover numerous other treasures, such as smaller stupas, shrines, and statues adorned with colorful prayer flags and offerings left by devotees. You may also encounter devotees performing rituals, spinning prayer wheels, and chanting mantras, immersing you in the rich Buddhist culture and traditions.
It's a place where the past and present converge, where nature and spirituality intertwine, and where the mystique of the East comes alive in all its glory.

Amazing 4 day tour of Nepal!
Nepal Hiking Team made our 4-day, 3-night trip to Nepal truly special. From the very first message, Ganga Ji was incredibly responsive and thoughtful—he really listened to what we were interested in and crafted a fantastic itinerary that included great hotels and well-organized tours. Our guide, Kumar Ji, was absolutely wonderful—kind, knowledgeable, and a joy to travel with. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hoping to return soon. Nepal Hiking Team is simply the best!

Very professional and responsive agency, I recommend!
Very professional agency who accompanied us on our trek to Everest Base Camp.
Ganga, the manager, was very responsive to our requests to adjust the program and answered all our questions before the trek. He also handled our return to Kathmandu very well, finding alternative transport when no flights could leave Lukla due to bad weather.
Rudra, our trekking guide, was extremely attentive, especially with the younger ones, and stayed professional and careful about altitude-related issues.
Finally, the agency organized a tour of the main tourist sites around Kathmandu on our last day, with an enthusiastic guide, Khumar

Amazing experience thanks to our 5-star guide/porter team
We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.
Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.
We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.
On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!

Highest praise for Nepal Hiking Team
I highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team for anyone planning to trek in Nepal. My spouse and I had a fantastic time on our trek and greatly credit our positive experience to the thought and care put into it by Nepal Hiking Team in coming up with a personalized plan that would enable us to succeed.
Every detail was considered to match us based on our abilities and interests. We also could not have felt more cared for minute to minute by the team that supported us from the minute we arrived in Kathmandu until our departure.
Our guide, Nim, was amazing -- so careful, thoughtful, warm, and supportive. And our porters, Sabin and Ganesh, were delightful. They were all unbelievably generous in terms of how much they worked to ensure we were comfortable and prepared. They thought of every detail along the way.

Excellent Trekking, Excellent Support & Excellent Tours
The Nepal Hiking Team provided incredible experiences both in Trekking and touring. Our first trip in 2018 was simply amazing—a successful trek to ABC for my husband and two sons and Annapurna Panorama for me—lifelong memories, always cherished. We returned in 2023, and wow—my husband and two sons had an extraordinary trek to EBC—perfect weather and a flawless trek—a remarkable success! Unfortunately, due to health issues, I couldn't do my Everest Panorama Trek.
Thankfully, Ganga, CEO of NHT, stepped in with 24/7 support & ensured I was exceptionally well taken care of - organizing a doctor & covering accommodation & meals in Kathmandu to replace the trek! What incredible generosity & support. While my family was on the trek, Ganga offered two different city tours - Durbar Square, Monkey Temple, Boudhanath Stupa & Pashupatinath Temple on one day & Patan & Bhaktapur on another. Both tours were fantastic & guide Kumar was excellent! They provided a real insight into the history, culture & religions in Nepal & amazing UNESCO sites. Having missed out on trekking, the helicopter tour of Everest was a must-do replacement. What an experience—to see Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam up close, and breakfast at Everest View Hotel to finish!
Ganga and NHT organized all tours seamlessly. I would highly recommend NHT, for amazing, successful Trekking experiences and also for taking care of and supporting clients when things don't go to plan. The replacement tours and experiences were absolutely brilliant.
