Thamel Kathmandu
We had met Hari and organised a day tour of Kathmandu. Hari was a fantastic, patient and knowledgeable guide. Without Hari’s guidance we would have looked at sites without truly knowing the history or stories behind them. Hari has a wealth of knowledge in the history, religion and culture of Nepal. We were very lucky to have had Hari as our guide as it truly made for a memorable experience of Kathmandu. Thank you Hari. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hari. He is also a lovely friendly man

Main attractions and off the beaten track tour in and around Kathmandu
I visited Kathmandu with a friend for 4 days back in October 2013. Hari was our tour guide. He organised a car and a driver to give us a full immersion in the history and culture of this wonderful city and Nepal. Hari's knowledge was simply amazing and inspiring. His charm and warm human nature made him a friend who hosted an unforgettable experience. Great place and great guy. One of the best things I have done for long time.

Helpful Hari!
We met Hari on our first day in Kathmandu.
He built great report and told us spot about himself and he city before we even realised he was a guide.
He was not pushy or forceful and kindly offered to show us to some small local temples as well as monkey temple.
He walked with us and showed us a great place to eat!
After a great day we asked him to show us more of Kathmandu the following day. He offered to arrange a driver but when we said we wanted to be like the locals he happily showed us how to catch public buses and transport. We went to three major temples along with some smaller hidden ones and Hari knew almost everything there is to know.
After another great day we also asked Hari to book us a scenic flight around Everest and he got us a great price.
Would definitely recommend Hari at holiday hiking team for anyone coming to Kathmandu!
Thanks again Hari!

Kathmandu City Tour
I was really like today because I randomly met Hari on the street today. After a short talk he provided me with many free important information and gave me awesome ideas about my time here in Nepal.
After that we started a 3 hours Kathmandu City tour, which has been amazing. This guy knows so much! A walking encyclopedia. Really interesting and educating tour through Kathmandu!
Even though I didn’t book a longer hiking tour he still provided me with information and the best ways to do the Langtang Track!

Great city tour and nice person.
Nos encontramos a Hari de casualidad por la calle, cerca de donde tiene su oficina y acabamos haciendo un tour con él por el centro de la ciudad. Resulto ser una mañana muy entretenida, habla muy bien inglés, es muy amable, simpático y resolvía todas nuestras dudas y preguntas.
Nos llevó a todos los sitios que el vió conveniente, todos ellos gratis. Nos contó todo sobre la ciudad, desde el tema religioso, politico y social. Terminamos el tour yendo a comer a un sitio que el mismo nos recomendó e incluso nos llevó. El precio del tour no fue caro así que super contentos.
We met Hari by chance on the street, near where he has his office and we ended up doing a tour with him through the center of the city. It turned out to be a very entertaining morning, he speaks very good English, he is very kind, nice and solved all our doubts and questions.
He took us to all the places he saw convenient, all of them free. He told us everything about the city, from the religious, political and social issue. We ended the tour going to eat at a place that he recommended and even took us. The price of the tour was not expensive so super happy.
By the way, thanks very much Hari.
