Kathmandu

The Kathmandu Valley is the cultural heart of Nepal and the starting point for almost every Himalayan journey. Within a single valley you’ll find three ancient royal cities (Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur) and seven UNESCO-listed monument zones, including the hilltop stupa of Swayambhunath, the great dome of Boudhanath and the riverside temples of Pashupatinath. Beyond the city, quiet Newar villages, terraced hillsides and valley-rim viewpoints look out to the snow peaks of the Himalaya. Our Kathmandu day tours bring all of this within easy reach. Each one starts and ends at your hotel, runs privately with a licensed local guide, and fits into a morning, an afternoon or a full day. There are tours for heritage, sunrise viewpoints, day hikes, sacred rituals, food and crafts, and scenic Everest flights. They suit arrival and departure days, rest days between treks, short stopovers and family holidays alike, and every tour can be adjusted to your interests, pace and travel dates.
