About this trip
This six-day trip takes you through Kathmandu Valley, once three separate kingdoms and now a dense cluster of temples, palaces and courtyards known as the City of Temples.
You spend your days in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan, tracing how the Newar community shaped the valley's art and architecture and how Nepal itself came together as a nation under King Prithvi Narayan Shah.
It's a culture and history-focused trip, well suited to first-time visitors to Nepal who want context behind the temples and squares rather than just photos of them.
What you'll do
- Wander the old royal cities of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan
- Visit centuries-old temples and palace complexes
- Explore historic Durbar Squares and courtyards
- Learn about Nepal's unification and Newar heritage
- Take in views from a scenic hill station
- A slower-paced, culture-heavy trip built around walking through old towns and heritage sites
- Good fit for first-time visitors wanting historical context, not primarily a trekking or adventure trip
