Exceptional touring experience made my trip to Nepal richer
Deepak was my guide for several days at end of April 2025. He was flexible, kind, and offered unique touring opportunities. He is very knowledgeable about religious and spiritual life here. Food tour, craft tour, Changunarayan village tour and hike, and visit to UNESCO sites were all exceptional. Deepak patiently answered my many questions and even helped me sort out a cell phone problem. This trip of a lifetime was made even richer thanks to Deepak and Yak Thung Travel and Tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your lovely words! We’re glad Deepak could enhance your journey with his knowledge and care, and that the experiences made your trip truly special. We appreciate you and Thankyou for trusting us.

Great, relaxed tour
The tour was excellent. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was always looking to make sure I had a good time. I also liked that this tour was a bot more remote (45 minute drive from Thamel) so there weren't big crowds and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Response from the operator: Namaste Tom, It was nice meeting you and glad to hear that you enjoyed the hike. Hope will see you again in future!

Great hike with Anjal
Anjal was fantastic hike guide. She explained the wildlife and the area as we travelled through. The views were spectacular, with a great shot of the Himalayas through the trees. It is a gentle walk suitable for all. I would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Alice, Thank you for taking time to review. It was a wonderful time together with you guys. Hope you had great time in Nepal. If you ever plan to come Nepal with your family you are always welcome. Take care

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour?
+
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 Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Changunarayan Hill to Telkot Hike Near Kathmandu Day Tour 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. 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.
