Free walking tours in Kathmandu

The best guide you can find in town! It’s not just a guided tour, it’s a deep conversation about spirituality and Hinduism. Ganesh is the guide you should choose if you want a truly authentic local experience. Trust me!

great intersting tour with very knowlagible guid

Yadab is a wealth of information about how ancient Nepal evolved into modern Nepal customs and religious practices. I feel like he gave me a PhD in 3 hours but did it in a way that was so easy to understand and made it hyper relevant to my interests as well, as I was the only person since it’s off season- lucky me! I now appreciate temples and the Nepalese culture 1000x more than before. He also gave me so many tips for where to go trekking in the off season with my time constraints bc he also used to be a guide. Yadab will be a friend for life. Wow, don’t miss this tour if you’re visiting Nepal and see for yourself!

An amazing tour to learn about the Matriarchal history of Nepal and Hinduism. We had great conversations about the topic during the tour

Completely great guide to the funeral traditions done in this temple. I enjoyed it a lot!

Manoj is professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly: takes you to some of the best hidden gems for food in the city which you wouldn't have found otherwise. The variety of the food ensures everyone who attends will be satisfied.

It was great to spend time with Manoj - the tour was very efficient and informative- I loved it 😍

Great, intimate food tour sampling dishes and locations that are off the beaten track.

Se em Kathmandu há um ser humano dedicado ao exercício de expansão da sabedoria inspirada das escrituras sagradas aos andarilhos que tem seus dias de individuação experimentados no vale sagrado nepalês, então é com Milan a sorte de sua chance; discípulo vivo, devoto de gratidão ao seu fôlego de vida e ao amor incondicional inerente ao que é a vida em sua essência, absolutamente recomendável aos que tem fome e sede de harmonização da vida em sua interioridade para além de tudo. Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu!

We had an excellent walking tour with Manoj. He showed us around the city with great knowledge and enthusiasm. His English was excellent, and the information he shared was both insightful and high quality. The tour was very entertaining from start to finish, and he also came across as a genuinely friendly and cool person. We highly recommend Manoj to anyone looking for a great walking tour in Kathmandu!

Manoj es un guía muy comprometido y entusiasta del aprendizaje cultural Respecto al tour, muy recomendable ver los ritos funerarios en Pashupatinath mientras Manoj te da todas las explicaciones

Auch als Vegetarierin war ich bei dieser Tour gut aufgehoben und habe viele interessante Gerichte probiert.

Loved it! You'll taste different local food in authentic places where locals eat. You won't find them on your own. An amazing experience with a local guide who will take you through culture, food and bustling streets. Do join in! And go on an empty stomach)

Eine sehr interessante Tour und Ganesh ist wirklich ein sehr guter Guide, der viel zu erzählen hat.

We had a great walking tour with Santosh, he was full of information about the history and culture of Nepal. We really enjoyed it thank you!

Amazing guide punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly. Showed me hidden gems, handled logistics smoothly, and gave great food tips. Highly recommended

Sovit’s was unavailable but, his brother Badri was there to provide the tour. The tour started on time and Badri took me around to places like Asan Market, Kathmandu Durbar Square alongside a few others. It was a great experience overall and Badri was very knowledgeable about Nepali history. I would recommend booking this tour if you are interested in learning more about the country.

It was a truly fascinating and deeply unique experience. Ganesh was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive, taking the time to answer all of my questions with genuine care and insight. This is not just a tour, but a rare opportunity to reflect on death from a completely new perspective. It allowed me to approach a topic that is often feared or avoided with curiosity, openness, and a deeper sense of connection. An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something authentic, profound, and unlike anything else

Manoj showed us the real Thamel; hidden alleys with gourmet street food you’d never would find by yourself. In a picturesque/photogenic setting you won’t find on Discovery Manoj revealed the real Thamel, guiding us through hidden alleys to gourmet street food that we would never have found on our own. The setting was beautifully picturesque—a genuinely authentic experience you won't find on a mass-market travel channel. His tour was a blessing; it saved us after two nights of aimlessly wandering Thamel, constantly trying to avoid persistent hawkers, chaotic motorbike traffic, and aggressive touts.

Ganesh took us through the Hindu temple that is an important and fuctioning site of human creations. It was a very meaningful experience and he gave us all the information to be able to accurately interpret the rituals that we were seeing being performed. He also answered the many questions we had about Nepali life and the Hindu faith.

Ganesh was an excellent guide! He told us a lot about the rituals of cremation, hindu religion and culture, history of the faith of the nepalese people and more. It was a pleasure to listen to him and he received our (many!) questions really well. I would 100% recommend doing this tour with him to understand the area and rituals you are seeing there.

We very much enjoyed the food places Manoj showed us!

Best tour to discover ancient kathmandu. Best guide who is letting us to understand the foundation of the ancient kathmandu. Convincing thoughts, evidence and knowledge. It's not easy to become such a knowledgeable person. Fascinating history of kathmandu is still waiting for rediscovered. Yadab is Gem. Our heartfelt thanks to his knowledge. Our respect goes to the Ajima of kathmandu, Matriarchal footprints of ancient kathmandu. Highly recommend.

very informative trip about funeral customs that are very different to western practice

Santosh was very kind and patient. Waited for us and explained lots of details. It was a good experience overall
