Airport pickup, SIM card, currency, a trekking-gear run and a Thamel orientation walk — the first six hours in Nepal, handled.
The first half-day in Kathmandu is the one that catches people out: visa-on-arrival queues, an airport taxi negotiation, no local SIM, no rupees, and a gear list you were meant to buy before the trek starts tomorrow.
This package removes all of it. Your local meets you inside arrivals, walks you through the visa desk, drives you to your hotel, sorts a registered SIM and a fair currency exchange, and — if you are trekking — takes you to the Thamel gear shops he actually uses and negotiates in Nepali. It ends with an orientation walk so you know where things are.
Day by day, as it actually runs.
Your local waits inside the arrivals hall with a name board and helps you through visa-on-arrival and baggage. Private transfer to your hotel with time to drop bags and shower. Then the SIM card, currency exchange, and a gear run through Thamel's shops with real negotiation — expect to pay 30–50% less than the opening price. Finish with a walking loop showing you the nearest ATM that takes foreign cards, a reliable pharmacy, laundry and three places to eat. WhatsApp line stays open for 48 hours.

Landed at 10 p.m. exhausted and someone was standing there with my name. Worth every dollar. The gear negotiation saved us about $120 between two of us.

Solo female traveller, first time in Nepal. The orientation walk meant I felt confident in Thamel by the same evening. Highly recommend for a first visit.
