I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Pharping Monestary and Asana Cave. My tour guide Deepak was great, knowledgeable and very personable. For me, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had over the last month while traveling in Nepal. I went early in the morning, I didn’t see many tourists until mid day. There are many steps in both locations and the views are worth it!

This tour was both enriching and deeply informational. I enjoyed it from start to finish with my nine-year-old daughter. Shankar, my tour Guide shared his vast knowledge and wisdom at calculated and
appropriate times, whilst sharing the history of each stop along the way. I highly recommend this tour for solo, family, or group travelers. 10/10 guide, 10/10 experience. Thank you!

Mr Keshar Jung Thapa was our excellent guide on this day tour. He is very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble to make our tour enjoyable. We had a private tour and he was able to adjust things to include an insightful visit to the Dashain sacrificial celebration in the nearby mountains. We loved the visit to the Pharpsing monastery and the Asura Cave . He also gave us an in depth explanation of Nepalese culture and the Hindu/Buddhist philosophies. Totally recommend.
