Kathmandu is a city with medieval atmosphere, with a great number of Hindu temples , Buddhist stupas and monuments . Often called an open museum of mediaval arts and architecture, it has a lot to offer its visitors. Kathmandu, along with neighbouring towns of Patan and Bhaktapur has seven UNESCO declared world heritage sites.

We explore these heritage sites of Katmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur on this tour and walk through the old quarter of the town to show you the lively traditional market. Kathmandu is a valley with lovely green hills all around and the Himalayan peaks standing behind them.On a clear day, you can see them from the city itself.

A 1.5 hr drive from Kathmandu will take us to Nagarkot where you can see  the green hills and the Himalayan panorama all around. The sunsets and the sunrise on the Himalayas is superbly beautiful and short walks along the forested ridge is also enjoyable.
