My time staying with Shiva and his family was great. I had really interesting conversations with his 15yo son and him, and learned a lot about Nepalese culture. The baby is adorable, always happy and smiling! His wife cooks great food and is always smiling too. This time will allow you to really immerse in their way of living. You can go on all kinds of tours with Shiva, or if you choose not to, you have a lot of time to yourself to explore the Katmandu valley during the days, taking the local bus. I recommend staying with them! Thank you 😊

Staying with shiva and his wonderful family is definitely a great way to immerse yourself within Nepalese culture. Shiva himself is a kind, patient man who will always strive to answer your questions about anything and everything to the best of his ability. In regards to the work, i personally didn't need to help shiva out with anything but if you have skills in video making or photography, that would be of great benefit to his trekking company. P.s his wife is a great cook :)

My stay with Shiva and his family was for 9 days, and I loved it so much that it was very hard to leave. I really felt at home and they always took great care of me. Shiva's wife is an amazing cook, his son is so kind (we spent entire evenings talking together), and the baby is beyond adorable! I was also lucky to go on a tour in The Valley Fringe with Shiva; he is a very easy going, knowledgeable and kind man who is also a great guide! I highly recommend going on a trek with him! Thank you once again to Shiva and his lovely family for having me in their home!

I spent almost two weeks with this friendly family, sharing their home, their costumes and having the pleasure of eating their extraordinary Nepali home food everyday. I felt in peace with them and the days run fast. The city centre is a bus away easy to catch, in the return just ask anyone, which bus to pick because almost every Nepali speaks english. Shiva is very knowledge of Kathmandu and Nepal in general, always ready to explain you more of the country. The city it self is vibrante, full of color and you keep all the time the urge to explore even more and more. In a word was... rewarding.

I've spent almost two weeks with Shiva and his family and it's been great. It is the perfect way to immerse in the nepalese culture and daily life. His wife is an excellent cook, his son very kind...they've treated me like family from the first day, they took care of me and I've enjoyed the time spent with them: meals, conversations, tours... Regarding the work, it's been very flexible so that I could also get to visit around. Thanks for all Shiva and see you soon!!! Namaste

The experience with Shiva was very good! It was super easy to help him and I got hosted like a family member! The food was amazing and it was like living local life all the time. Shiva and his family are very kind, well mannered and well cultured. Staying with them, and enjoying the travel tours, made me discover many aspects of Nepali life. I really recommend Shiva and the host! :D

Shiva is an amazing guy and an awesome guide! The job to me was essencially go with him on the tours around Kathmandu, taking pictures and feed his social medias. Was a great experience and I've learned A LOT about nepali traditions, religions, politics and history! Staying with his lovely family and live as a local was also a great life experience. His son is very polite and his wife cooks such a great food and did everything to please me despite my food restrictions: no rice to me, a BIG issue in Asia! Thank you, Shiva and family, for such an welcoming stay.

Great Experience! Shiva is a kind and warm person and his family is really nice, they made me feel like home and I had the chance to experience Nepal in a "local way" they introduced me different Nepali meals and all were pretty good and tasty, his wife is an amazing cook so I enjoyed every meal. I was helping Shiva taking photos during the walking tour to promote his job so I learned a lot about Nepal. Shiva has an amazing knowledge about the Nepali history and he take his time to explain everything in detail. Thank you Shiva for everything I really enjoyed this experience!

My almost two months in Nepal were outstanding! Shiva and his family were spectacularly polite, generous and considerate. I could not recommend this experience more. :) Living in real Kathmandu, outside of the tourist district will give you a completely fresh and rarely seen perspective of life in Nepal. Also, Shiva's walking tour is one of a kind in the city, and will familiarize you with the surroundings very quickly. Shiva is such a wonderful guy. Inspired and mindful. Talk with him as much as possible and soak in his knowledge, experiences and positive attitude.

Staying with Shiva and working for Himakala Adventures has truly been a learning experience for me. I got to learn a lot more than I could have had I travelled by myself. The work helped me learn more about Nepal in general and its culture, traditions, history in general. He has a lovely family, very welcoming. They went out of their way to make me feel at home. Would definitely recommend if you want to live with locals who are welcoming and loving and a host who has abundant knowledge about his country. I was lucky enough to visit his village in Gorkha which was an experience I will treasure.
