Review Detail

My wife and I did a day trek from Katmandu entitled "One Day Shivapuri Hiking from Budhanilkantha via Nagi Gumpa".  We made it only so far as Ani Gumpa Deurali.  Please be aware that there are a LOT OT STEPS on this hike. The description on the website does not mention this at all, which frankly, should be a deciding factor. There are over 2000 steps in all with uneven rises and runs, making for a very challenging trek. Make sure you're in good physical condition before undertaking. That said, our guide, Priscilla, was wonderful. Full of energy and fun. Good command of English. If you have the pleasure of trekking with her, be sure to ask her about the "fish story". Also, if you try to find their sales office while in Thamel, its located above the Katmandu Kitchen Restaurant, which itself is located on the second floor above a clothing bazaar. A bit tough to find, but worthwhile. Good luck and enjoy!
