Free walking tours in Kathmandu

Hoe voelde goed om deze ervaring met een gids te delen. Hij kon je op het juiste moment op de juiste plaats brengen en info bij de rituelen. Op een serene plaats die zo anders dan onze eigen cultuur beleefd wordt.

We are glad to have taken the tour - that way we could learn more about the placed we visited. Also the possibility to see the living goddess Kumari was a unexpected but interesting experience. Thank you Rajesh ☺️

Milan is fantastic! I can genuinely say that he was the best tour guide I have ever had on GuruWalk. His extensive knowledge, articulate and clear communication skills, great attention to details, patience with my overwhelmingly many questions, pleasant, warm and approachable manner made the excursion smooth, interesting, and truly enjoyable. Thank you, Milan!

Yadab’s tour of Kathamandu is by far the best activity and walking tour we’ve ever done. Yadab has so much knowledge of his city, and taught us so much about matriarchal traditions and spirituality, linking to all the main sights and symbols throughout Kathmandu. He has given us a really unique perspective of the city and made us appreciate the intricacies so much more. He was a joy to spend half a day with - not only being infectiously passionate about what he does, but also being a really lovely person. I cannot recommend this walking tour enough! Thank you Yadab 🙏🏼

I genuinely enjoyed this tour. Yadab did a great job explaining everything adding lots of details. He definitely knows what he is talking about. If you are looking for a tour that goes beyond a „typical“ sightseeing tour, I highly recommend this one!

Ganesh was such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide that I enjoyed every minute with him. He was willing to answer any of my questions and his tour definitely made me more interested in Hinduism. I strongly recommend to have him as your guide, because his talk worth reading several books about history and religions in Nepal.

Great host, very knowledgeable and professional

We had a very enjoyable walking tour in Kathmandu with Deepak that was definitely off the beaten track and visiting places we would never have found. A good insight into Nepal, Nepali life and Kathmandu. Would thoroughly recommend

Great tour! Kapir was very nice and attentive. It is also a very interesting experience!

He was very tentative guide by making sure of I am safe on a busy street. He did much more than I have expected through taking me a nice restaurant for lunch and taking me back to the hotel. Thanks to him, I could go to the places I wouldn’t imagine to go. I will recommend him strongly.

Ganesh was a great guide! He had a lot of knowledge and insights about Hinduism and Buddhism. Learnt a lot of interesting facts about the Hinduism culture and the temple! Definitely made my visit to Pashupatinath Temple so much more meaningful!

Very much recommend taking the tour with Ganesh, he manages to uplift an already special experience

Wow! Die Tour mit Milan war wirklich besonders. Wir konnten Kathmandu und ganz Nepal durch eine ganz uns ganz Art und Weise erleben und anfangen zu verstehen. Milan ist ein hervorragender und passionierter Erzähler, der viele Geschichten über den Hinduismus, Buddhismus und die Verknüpfungen mit uns geteilt hat. Der tiefe Einblick in die Geschichte und Traditionen passten perfekt zu den ausgewählten Orten, an denen man sich während der Tour befand. Milan ist ein wundervoller und interessanter Mensch, bei dem man seine positive Einstellung zum Leben merkt. Er begegnete uns und allen Personen sehr respektvoll, was uns inspiriert hat. Eine große Empfehlung! Danke nochmal!

Professional, great knowledge, I enjoyed!

He showed us all the secret places with very nice food! He adapted the choice of food what we already had. Thank you very much!!

We went on a tour through the matriarchal past of the Kathmandu Valley. It was really interesting how the religious tradition changed from having a mother goddess at the center to the modern way of Hinduism and how some sparks of this old way still lingers on and can be seen in many places. He told us about the power of creating, how trans and intersex people played an important role and what all this had to do with the living goddess Kumari. On our two hour long tour we visited many temples and also Durbar Square. There we also got some general Infos about the place, it's history and meaning, besides it's matriarchal traces. I can recommend this tour for everyone who wants to get a new perspective on the subtle details of a rich, intricate and sometimes (for a foreigner) overwhelming culture. There are many details and patterns one can miss while wandering the city and Yadab manges to sharpen the eyes for those. We had some issues on finding the right starting places but Yadab got in touch the moment we felt lost. Keep in mind: You don't need to leave the street and wander into a luxury complex, the tour starts outside. So all in all, very interesting tour with someone who knows what he's talking about about a topic unseeable for the untrained eye.

Deepak was great!

I had such a lovely time on this tour yesterday! Everything was really well organized, but it still felt relaxed and easy. Badri was super friendly and knowledgeable, and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing. I learned so many interesting things without it ever feeling overwhelming or boring. The pace was perfect, we had enough time to look around, take pictures, and actually enjoy the experience instead of feeling rushed. The whole atmosphere was great, and it honestly made my day. I’m really glad I chose this tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a fun, stress-free, and memorable experience. Thank you for such a great day! 🌟

I had such an amazing tour today with Ganesh! He was incredibly attentive, patient, and very well-read. You can really feel how knowledgeable he is, but at the same time he explains everything in such a clear and easy way that it never feels overwhelming. We visited the cremation ceremony, which was a very deep and emotional experience, and Ganesh explained every detail with so much respect and understanding. I really appreciated how open he was to all my questions and how calmly and thoughtfully he answered everything. Honestly, having a guide like him makes all the difference. If you’re thinking about booking a tour, I highly recommend Ganesh – you’ll learn a lot and feel completely taken care of the whole time!

Deepak is a thoroughly nice person and this was a great introduction to Kathmandu . Wandering round the old streets and see the sights was very nice . He introduced us to Mundala art and we were fascinated by the insight into this beautiful art form and bought 2 paintings. We finished by having a coffee together . I would recommend Deepak as a leader as I feel you get to meet a real person .. very likeable .

We had a really good experience with Deepak’s tour. He showed us all around Kathmandu and gave us a lot of information about the culture and the country. We also visited stupa’s, Hindu temples and tried authentic Nepali food. Thankyou for the lovely tour Deepak!

A very nice man who is passionate and knowledgeable about his city. He answered all questions and then took me for Masala Tea which was delicious. There's a lot of temples in Kathmandu! Highly recommend this man

The Tour with Deepak was very interesting. A lot of local places where tourists normally wouldn't go. Also the possibility to try typically nepalese food and Drinks. Would totally recommend!

We had a lovely and interesting tour with Manoj. He could explain a lot about the culture, religion and daily life in Nepal.

Deeply impressive. Ganesh is guiding warm-hearted and patiently. Grateful! 🙂
