About this trip
A short, culture-focused introduction to the Kathmandu Valley, covering the city itself and its two historic neighbours, Patan and Bhaktapur, before heading up to Nagarkot for Himalayan views.
Expect old squares, temples and UNESCO-listed sites rather than trekking or wilderness — this is about architecture, history and the layered art and craftsmanship you find across the valley.
The Nagarkot leg adds a change of pace, with sunrise or sunset views over the Himalayas from above the valley floor.
What you'll do
- Wander Kathmandu's old city and its temples
- Visit the historic squares of Patan and Bhaktapur
- Take in UNESCO World Heritage sites across the valley
- Watch the sunrise or sunset over the Himalayas from Nagarkot
- Try authentic Nepalese food along the way
- Partially guided, so some sections you'll cover independently
- Sightseeing-paced rather than physically demanding — suits families and first-time visitors to Nepal
- Focused on culture and heritage rather than trekking or high-altitude activity
