“Had a fabulous day with Anon in Kathmandu. Great guide accommodating all requests, very knowledgeable and good companion! I did not do justice to Kathmandu trying to cover all 7 UNESCO sites in one day - probably worth 2-3 days - but Anon was very generous with his time, and we went well into the evening to meaningfully cover the itinerary.

Highly recommended.”
