Sightseeing daytrip Bhaktapur and Pashupatinat Temple

After the Annapurna trecking we wanted to finish our Nepal journey with a cultural sightseeing in Bhaktapur and some other temples.
To be honest, it is always difficult to find a good agency. You never know what you get.
BUT, we have been really lucky! Mr Naba Raj organised a wonderfull day trip for us including a driver and a professional guide. They picked us up at the hotel – proper car very cool – and we spent a perfect day. The guide Mr Krishna Kharel used to be a professor at the university for tourism and knows a lot about the history of this country. It was a pleasure listening to him and he could answer all of our questions.
We spent a wonderfull day and whenever I come back to Nepal, I would like to have another tour with Krishna and Naba Raj.
