Overview

This three night, four day tour provides visitors with an in-depth view into the rich culture embedded in the Kathmandu Valley. Explore the cultural treasures of Kathmandu, capital and largest city of Nepal-immerse yourself in the vibrant array of bustling streets, incomparable historic buildings and heritage, exquisite temples and religious sites. The ancient cities of Kathmandu Valley include Patan and Bhaktapur with evocative palace squares. The tour then takes you to Nargarkot, located 32 kilometers east of Kathmandu on the valley rim. Nagarkot offers superb views of the Indrawati Valley framed by expansive ranges of snowy peaks on the horizon. We’ll spend the night in Nagarkot and head to Bhaktapur, a 9th century city shaped like a giant conch shell, known for its spectacular medieval architecture. From Bhaktapur, we’ll visit ancient Patan Durbar Square which shares some similarities to Bhaktapur Durbar Square though slightly smaller. It’s a beautiful place to be in the late afternoon as locals congregate on the steps of the temples to meet and chat about the days.
