The 15 Best UNESCO Heritage Tours in the Kathmandu Valley

69 tours  Β·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  Β·  from $180

Seven monument zones inside one valley, and a single day covers most of them if the driving is planned properly. These 15 differ on how many stops they attempt, whether lunch and entry fees are in the price, and how long you actually get at each square — several were rebuilt after 2015 and repay the extra half hour.
