Nepal · KATHMANDU TOURS
Almost everything in Nepal is sold out of Kathmandu, so the city’s own list gets crowded fast. These 15 are the days worth giving to the valley itself — the UNESCO seven, the squares rebuilt after 2015, the momo kitchens, the ridge sunrises — each priced, timed and honest about how much of the day goes on traffic.
One day in Kathmandu Valley to see 7 UNESCO sites with a guided history tour and lunch, plus hotel pickup and private transport.
“Thanks to Dipendra! He told all the information we needed, took pictures of me whenever I asked and was super nice guy. The tour was as long as stated (no “cutting” time). He also commands very nice English.”
Shared helicopter from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp area with flyovers and Everest View Hotel landing, optional breakfast, Lukla stop.

From fresh ingredients that we got to shop for to hands-on techniques, every detail was thoughtfully planned. The best part? Tasting the incredibly flavorful dishes we prepared - an absolute treat! Highly recommended for food lovers and cultural enthusiasts.”

Kathmandu to Nagarkot for a Himalayan sunrise, then a gentle morning hike to UNESCO Changu Narayan, with packed food and pickup.
“I spent half a day with Bikram starting with the sunrise at Nagarkot. Although there was only partial visibility, the views were still worth the early start. From there, we visited the Bageshwori Nagarkot Suspension Bridge and then walked to Changu Narayan, a historic Hindu temple. We ended the tour exploring Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Bikram is very patiant and knowledgeable about the sites and the history of the area. I highly recommend him!”

“We had an excellent tour, highly recommended!! Our guide Sumit was very friendly, respectful and good at taking photos :) He knew so many things about all the sights, while Amik drove us safely through the crazy Kathmandu traffic. A huge thanks to these two! The Durbar squares were just amazing with all the wood carvings, palaces and tempels and Pashupatinath a must-see to better understand the Hindu culture.”
