Seeseing tour of Katmandou We went in Novembre in Népal for tourism and humanitarian action. We had some days in Katmandou and did not have organised anything at first. We met Narayan and his great team of Mount Fishtail Adventure. They organised us a great daytour of the world heritage sites of the city and an other one of Chandragiri hill. All was perfect. We discovered a great view of the Hymalaya Mountains from the Chandragiri hill going there by cable car. They are very professional, efficient and friendly. We recommand strongly this company.
