This tour was stunning. Had I been on my own, I would have missed the experience all together. Instead, I witnessed a fire light devotion to the Hindu god Shiva at night on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River. Deepa provided well informed and thoughtful insights. She was genuinely concerned that I had the time to enjoy what I was seeing rather than being concerned for her own time. Great opportunities for photos but you don’t need to be a photographer to appreciate this. Excellent tour guide and a must experience!
