1-day Kathmandu Valley Exploration

Kathmandu Valley holds unique geographical, cultural and natural sights for visitors, which we will help you explore. Discover the three major areas within the valley and see the most important sights.

We will start our tour by visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites speckled in the region of the valley. We visit Swoyambhunath, which is said to be over 2,000 years old and one of the world's most fabulous Buddhists Stupas; located on the top of a hill west of the Kathmandu city which is identified as the 'Monkey Temple'. From its peak, Swayambhunath presents excellent views of Kathmandu valley.

Next we will visit Patan City, known as the 'Town with a Thousands Roofs'. Also noted for its craftsman and metal workers, Patan is considered a city of artists. At Patan Durbar Square you can witness the mastery of arts and architecture at the famous Krishna Mandir, Golden Temple, Bhimsen Temple, Manga Hiti, Jagan Narayan Temple, Bishwanath Temple and others.

To the eastern side of the capital city is Boudhanath, the sacred center for Buddhist people in Nepal. Another popular holy temple in Nepal listed as a world heritage site is Pashupatinath, one of the most major Lord Shiva temples that attracts thousands of devotees. Situated on the bank of the sacred Bagmati River, the temple is erected in pagoda design and has a golden cover and wonderfully imprinted silver doors.
