Description

This is not a temple tour

Yes Kathmandu has beautiful temples. No, we won’t count how many bells you’ve heard by lunch.

This is the Kathmandu Valley tour where palaces meet protests, schools meet revolutions, and history refuses to behave.

We walk past royal palaces where kings once ruled, Singha Durbar where politics still argue, army headquarters , the first college and school ,Martyrs’ Gate that remembers those who spoke too loudly, and Dharahara—because Kathmandu can’t resist standing back up.

No chanting. No memorising dates.

Just powerful places, strange stories, dark humour, and the kind of history that feels suspiciously alive.

PRO

Guiding since 2023

Hello and Namaste! my name is Manoj Thapa. I am from Kathmandu, Nepal. I am 30 Years old, and a licensed tourist guide. I’m passionate about my work and I know how to bring it to fruition. I would describe myself as an open-hearted and straightforward person who doesn’t believe in deceiving other people and tries to be legitimate in everything I do. My work as a tour guide is to lead groups of tourists or individuals through historical sites, museums, geographic destinations, and outdoor excursions. However, I not only see myself as a person dedicated to my work but also, I never forget to connect it with love, I have for my work and undoubtedly, I allow this love to reflect on the journey, I will have with my guests. I am confident in my knowledge of Nepalese history, culture, traditions, heritages, and religions. I will be helping my guests to get a detailed understanding of the sites we will explore. I hope to see you soon on our tour. Thank you
