Exploring the majestic Kailashnath Mahadev statue was an unforgettable experience for our group. The private tour allowed us to absorb the culture of Bhaktapur in Nepal at our own pace, and the transportation was comfortable and efficient. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the Mahadev statue and local traditions, though we would have loved a bit more time to wander the charming streets after visiting.

I was pleasantly surprised by how intimate my experience was in Bhaktapur, especially while visiting the towering statue of Mahadev. The private nature of the tour allowed me to ask questions and learn about the history of the area, and my guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Standing beneath the majestic Kailashnath made me appreciate the artistry and dedication behind such a monumental piece. I also enjoyed wandering through the ancient streets, soaking in the local culture and architecture. If anything, I wish I had a little more time to explore the nearby temples at a leisurely pace. Overall, it was an enriching way to spend my day.

Our group had a fantastic time exploring Bhaktapur, especially during our visit to the impressive statue of Mahadev. The private tour allowed us to take our time, soak in the sights, and capture plenty of photos without feeling rushed. The drive to the kailashnath site was smooth, and our guide shared fascinating stories about the area, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. One minor thing we wished for was a bit more time to wander around after we arrived; it felt like we could’ve explored even more of the surroundings. Overall, a delightful experience that combined culture and stunning views!
