I just wanted a refreshment from my hectic schedule and had a day off. My friend helped me book a day hike in Kathmandu. He booked with Everest Vacation and a guide picked me up from my hotel. Dipak was my guide and he was polite and had a good sense of humor. I enjoyed his company and reached Nagarkot for sunrise. I must admit I forgot my stress at once when I observed the sunrise over snow-capped mountains. The green natural views and natural beauty around there attracted me. I felt rejuvenated. We had breakfast and started hiking towards ancient Newari village Changu Narayan. The village was peaceful and very beautiful. One of the oldest temples is listed on the World Heritage site. The history of the place was interesting to hear from my guide. A day hike was incredible. A great thanks to Dipak for making it enjoyable. I loved it.

My first time in Nepal and I was amazed to see the raw beauty of this country with Everest Vacation. They planned a fantastic tour for me. Even for a solo traveler, they arranged a local guide and a private vehicle which was impressive. My favorite moment was the hike to Chisapani from Sundarijal and the sunrise view from Nagarkot. The local food as suggested by Umesh was good and I will recommend you to try it as well. I will be coming again and this time I will visit Tibet and Bhutan too with Everest Vacation. I rate this company very highly and would recommend it for solo travelers like me.
