Hidden gem for nature trekking and great views of the Himalayas
I had an excellent day. Shishir is a very experienced, pleasant, confident, and fun tour, guide and company, very attentive and relaxed. It was a great tour all day long that leads through forest always on the mountain riff. As we take the cable car to start, you don’t have to do the long ascent and up to the high mountains. You always see the Himalayas in their full range and from different angles throughout the tour. It’s also very diverse experience with different forests and landscapes on the way. Shishir took great care. He truly has the photographic eye which I like a lot so he’s always finding out some good photographic opportunities and takes very nice shots. Because he’s also a high altitude licensed Guide he is interesting things to tell from his high altitude several days or several weeks tracking tours. It would be my number one tour guide in Nepal and I strongly recommend.
Response from the operator: Namaste sir🙏 Thank you so much for the tour taken and sharing experiences on TripAdvisor. I am very happy and grateful for the honest review. There is no other beautiful 1 day trekking experience in Kathmandu than this option. Most of the people don't know about this tour. Incredibly amazing trekking experiences tourists have the chance to gain in this tour. If you need any other information or assistance then feel free to ask sir. My WhatsApp number is +977 9808885713 for direct contact. I will be very happy to assist you in the future visit too. Stay happy and inspiring sir like you are always. See you sir💖.

A great day out exploring and views.
Cable car was closed due to damage. Shishir was great, he kept me informed and provided alternative options. I chose to do the Nargakot sunrise and day hike which was very enjoyable. Shishir is an excellent guide and provided an excellent service. Thankyou.
Response from the operator: Namaste sir🙏 Thank you so much for your kind review and heartily appreciated. Due to the damage on Cablecar after Gen Z protest, they are renovating. I love to assist you for more tours in the future sir. Keep in touch on WhatsApp too, my number is +977 9808885713. Have a beautiful moments ahead. See you💙

Great View / Perfect Hike
Shishir is an amazingly friendly and knowledgeable guide with a good pace for this 1 day hiking. This tour gave an amazing 360 view of the Himalayas, Kathmandu, and other villages in btw valleys. This hike was not too easy, not too hard - perfect to work your legs (it’s mostly stairs up and down) - for a 1 day adventurer. I would highly recommend this if you want to get out of the hustle of the city but want the full view.
Response from the operator: Namaste Linda🙏 Thank you for taking the time to share your hiking experience. It is truly a delight to read your good comments. I believe that your comments will give me a higher motivation in providing excellent services to my guests at all times. I look forward to welcome you back soon, hopefully base camp trekking. Take care. For any information please kindly message, my WhatsApp is +977 9808885713. Thank you❤️

Great experience !
You need to be able to do lots of uneven stairs, both up and down, and wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and otherwise enjoy the trek! My guide, Shishir, was very kind, patient, encouraging, and a fun companion for the day!
Response from the operator: Namaste Karinneh ma'am🙏 Thank you so much for sharing your tour experience with me for a day in Kathmandu and really happy to hear great words. Of course this trip is number 1 beautiful nature and mountains experience day in Kathmandu. Really beautiful day trekking experience with cable ride experience. I love to assist you again while visit Nepal. Take care and see you next time dear ma'am.❤️ My WhatsApp number +977 9808885713

Just keep trekking...
Shishir was my guide and I went solo, but he was my fun companion all day and encouraged me to keep going even though I was not in the necessary shape for this trek. There are a lot of stairs (up and down) involved, so just make sure to be in shape for 9+ miles of trekking & stairs.
Response from the operator: Namaste ma'am🙏 Thank you so much for your amazing 1 day trekking experience in Kathmandu Nepal and really appreciate your love. This is the most beautiful 1 day trekking experience in Kathmandu, yes especially for those who love hiking, nature, Himalayas, mountains, birds and literally natural things. Cablecar ride in Kathmandu and visiting Taudaha lake during returning back after the trek is others experience together. Thank you so much again for memories together and i really love to assist you again while you visit Nepal again. Take care and see you💙

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazing 1 Day Trekking Experience in Kathmandu Nepal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
