Tour Reviews
Olin Nepalissa huhtikuussa 2016. Tuolloin sää lämmin, mutta ei kuitenkaan tukahduttavan kuuma.
Trekkasin reitin Sundrijal-Nagargot joka oli helppokulkuista maastoa, missä pärjää hyvin keveillä vaelluskengillä. Reitti, jonka alussa on aika pitkästi nousua ja portaita, kulki vuorilla ylös ja alas läpi viidakon, vuoristoasutusten ja -kylien. Sauvoista voi olla apua reitillä. Tämä on todella hieno mahdollisuus tutustua Nepalin maaseutuun ja vuoristokyliin, sekä siellä eläviin ihmisiin ja heidän elämään.
Kathmandun kaupunkikierroksella oppaana toimi Deepak Mainali. Hän on erittäin ammattitaitoinen ja ystävällinen henkilö, kenellä on paljon tietoa maansa historiasta. Vierailukohteita oli mm. Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath Temple ja Hanuman Dhoka Square. Lisäksi tutuksi tuli myös Thamelin alue palveluineen, sekä ikivihreä ihana keidas keskellä kaupunkia Garden Of Dreams.
Voin suositella kohdetta hyväkuntoisille ja seikkailumieleisille henkilöille.
Terveisin Virpi, Laukaa Finland

I was in Nepal in April 2016. The weather was warm, not too hot to trek.
Sundrijal-Nagargot trek is quite an easy route to walk using light hiking boots. In the beginning of the route, there are quite a long uphill road and lot’s of stairs to go. Trekking route goes up and down, through the jungle and mountain villages. Walking stick can be helpfull. This trek is a very good opprtunity to get to know Nepal countryside and people who are living up in the mountain villages.
The guide of Kathmandu City tour was Deepak Mainali. He is very qualified and friendly person, who has very good knowledge about the history of Nepal and Kathamandu. We visited e.g. Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath Temple and Hanuman Dhoka Square, Thamel shopping area and beatiful Garden Of Dreams.
I can recommed this to adventurous people with good physical condition.
