Highlights
  • 1 Day Tour of Kathmandu Valley including 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Swayambhunath Stupa, Bouddhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square. 
  • Swayambhunath Stupa not only provides a wonderful view of Kathmandu valley but also carries the story of its formation.
  • One of the biggest stupas of the world, Bouddhanath Stupa never fails to amaze its visitors with its sophisticated beauty. Additionally, it is believed that making circumambulation of the stupa aids in getting mitigated from the sins.  
  • Pashupatinath Temple is the holiest temple for Hindus dedicated to Lord Shiva. Witness the sacred rituals and the Hindu way of cremation on the bank of Holy River Bagmati. 
  • Kathmandu Durbar Square depicts the rich culture and history of the valley with the intricate palaces and temples. The Hanuman Dhoka Palace Museum has a lot in store for the visitors. Additionally, one can be blessed with the sighting of the Living Goddess Kumari. 

Upon your arrival at your hotel, the Kathmandu Valley Tour awaits, assuring an exceptional experience covering the culturally and historically rich enchanting districts: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan.

Its abundant heritage appears in the 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites spread out throughout the valley, including the Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan. This displays the ancient history of kingship and the Newar civilization, and holy temples like Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, and Changunarayan, which showcase the deep-rooted Hindu and Buddhist culture in the valley. Architecture, with its decoratively carved wooden structures and pagoda-style temples, reflects the valley’s dynamic artistic traditions. Kathmandu Valley is likewise also a lively center of spiritual diversity, with most Hindu and Buddhist temples, sacred sites, and stupas dotting its landscape.

In Nepal, if you're Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, or from another faith, everyone's traditions are honored and enjoyed. It's a place where festivals and ceremonies from different religions embroider the colorful lives of people.

Handicrafts flourish in the Kathmandu Valley, reflecting its rich cultural heritage and skilled craftsmanship. Artisans create exquisite beautiful pieces of pottery, woodwork, metalwork, and jewelry along with hand-woven textiles, showcasing centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Handicrafts of Nepal have been treasured both locally and internationally. Nepal's handicrafts hold a special place in both local and international states. They beautify not only the homes of government houses but also find their way into households worldwide.

The recent decision by the government to allow Thamel to operate 24 hours has injected new life into Kathmandu's already vibrant nightlife scene. With Thamel being a focal point for entertainment and socializing, extending its operating hours opens up a world of possibilities for locals and visitors alike. Beyond Thamel, Kathmandu itself shows a variety of nightlife options, ranging from cozy bars and traditional music venues to trendy clubs and rooftop lounges. Whether you're seeking a relaxed evening sipping cocktails under the stars or craving the pulse-pounding beats of a late-night dance floor, Kathmandu offers something for everyone.

The tour is a must-do activity for anyone seeking to understand the origins of Nepali culture, history, and civilization. With an experienced guide, visitors can gain a wealth of information and knowledge, making it a perfect vacation for families, friends, and groups. The tour also includes the Everest Experience Flight and day hiking tours to Nagarkot.

In addition to these, numerous sightseeing activities can be connected from Kathmandu for a wonderful experience that will leave lasting memories.


Nonetheless, amidst the valley’s cultural wealth lies the challenge of rapid urbanization, which brings issues like traffic congestion and pollution. Despite these challenges, efforts are underway to balance modern development with the preservation of the valley’s unique heritage, ensuring that it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty.

We arrange pickup from your hotel at 8 am so we can cover all the spots in a relaxed manner.
