Discover the culture, history, and heritage of the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding area on this 5-day culture trip exploring the highlights of the region.
Ancient Kathmandu valley boasts of a considerably high number of cultural sites recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. All these sites are related to the spiritual traditions practiced in the region, which blend different cultures and lifestyles. The thousands of temples, stupas, pagodas and monuments inside the valley have made Kathmandu famous around the world as the City of Temples, while the mountains encircling the valley give panoramic views. The valley is comprised of three medieval cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and each city has its own artistic exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick-paved courtyards and quaint streets. Besides the three cities, there are also a number of other important sites in the periphery of the mountains. On this trip, we'll tour some of the most important sites and learn more about the cultural and natural landscapes of Kathmandu Valley.
Although Nepal is famous for its mountains and trekking routes, few realize that the country is brimming with historic locations worth exploring and nature reserves worth discovering. Join us on this guided, eight-day trip to discover Nepal in all its glory.
