A huge thanks to our tour guide Shishir and driver Sundes ! We had a magical time watching the sunrise. Shishir even brought us some wild raspberry’s!
I am the type of person who likes to watch the sunrise for a long time so I was very grateful that he never hurried us for the next schedule and let us stay to watch the sunrise for the longest time.
Unfortunately we couldn’t see the Himalayan mountains but it was still a very nice sunrise.
Also the hiking was a wonderful adventure where we saw many dogs, goats and chickens and really see the village life.
He explained a lot of the scenery with many interesting facts. Unfortunately after hiking for a while I was suddenly feeling unwell and nearly fainted.
Shishir asked our driver Sundes to come to the closest point available to pick us up and helped me go to a local cafe to lie down for a while.
I really appreciate their help and their kindness. If not for the two of them, me and my friend wouldn’t have felt safe.
They made our first trip to Kathmandu very very special despite feeling unwell. Thankyou so much and hope to see u again soon!!
