Kathmandu Valley Tour - 4 Days

The excitement builds as you gaze down from your plane’s window at the snow-covered peaks of the mighty Himalayas. On very clear days, you may even see Mt. Everest in the east. A beautiful sight to behold as its snowy top reflects the effulgent sun in all of its glory. At the airport arrival gate, you will be greeted by your representative of TREKKING MART and taken to your hotel to relax after your long flight. In the evening, you will enjoy a traditional welcome dinner which features authentically delicious traditional Nepali food and a cultural program.

After breakfast, you’ll visit the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kathmandu city. A professional TREKKING MART city tour guide will show you today to Swayambhu, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath. Some of these places date back over 2000 years and are impressive works of architectural beauty. Pashupatinath is the most sacred place in all of Nepal with over 490 temples. The kings resided in Kathmandu’s Durbar Square surrounded by amazing temples. Buddhists found solace at both Swayambhu and Boudhanath Stupas that date back centuries.

Today’s journey leaves the ancient capital of Kathmandu to explore two other places that were once their own kingdom: Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square. These places were built first by the Licchavi kings and later the Malla dynasties. They created incredible royal places and constructed sublime temples that reflected their devotion to their faith. Patan especially contains both Buddhist and Hindu temples including the famed Golden Temple in Patan. The final UNESCO World Heritage Site is the ancient village of Changu Narayan with the oldest Hindu Temple in the Kathmandu Valley dating back over 800 years. Its quiet streets are lined with shops of craftsmen making unique pieces from both stone and wood.

It’s been a fun time getting to know the unique culture and history of the most amazing place on earth.
