Don't miss this chance to visit some of the most important landmarks and cultural heritage sites of the Kathmandu Valley. Meet your friendly tour guide at your hotel and head for the nearby Ason. Located at the heart of the city, Ason is also the oldest marketplace in Kathmandu. Enjoy the sight of this bustling market that sells everything from clothes and electronics to traditional metal wares.
Walk along its busy streets flanked by old buildings and ornate temples all the way to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO world heritage site that is home to a number of temples, shrines and palaces. Nearby is the famous Freak Street, probably the most popular Hippy-era junction.
Continue your walk to Swayambhunath, a Buddhist stupa and yet another UNESCO world heritage site in the valley. It is popularly known as 'Monkey Temple’ after its resident primates. Located atop a hill, the temple commands some of the most spectacular views of the entire valley. Ascend 365 steps to reach the temple.
Walk back to Thamel or, alternatively, take a taxi from Swoyambhunath to Thamel.
Tent Peak (or Tharpu Chuli), a 5695m/18,679 ft peak is one of the most beautiful trekking peaks in Nepal. It lies within the Annapurna region of Nepal at the top of the Annapurna Sanctuary. First summited in 1964 by a Japanese group on an expedition to Annapurna South led by Dr Haruo Higuchi, Tent Peak is renowned for its views of the whole Annapurna range and Machapuchare.
Tent peak is popular as an easy peak to climb and suited to those who want to have ice-climbing experience without getting too high. This peak is also suitable for people who are restricted time-wise but are passionate about climbing.
We will go through hills, alpine meadows, waterfalls, rivers and mountains. We will explore Gurung villages along the way and savor the great views of the Himalayas.
