About this trip
A one-day tour taking in two of the Kathmandu Valley's UNESCO-listed Durbar Squares, Bhaktapur and Patan. Both were royal cities in their own right, and both are packed with centuries-old temples, palaces and courtyards that give a real sense of Nepal's history.
This runs as a small group with a guide, so you get context on what you're looking at rather than just wandering past it. It suits anyone short on time who still wants a proper look at the valley's architecture and religious life, families included.
What you'll do
- Explore the ancient temples and palaces of Bhaktapur Durbar Square
- Walk through a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its traditional art and craftsmanship
- Visit Patan Durbar Square in the centre of Lalitpur
- See the former royal palace of the Malla Kings
- Travel in a small group with a guide
- A single day out, so the pace is brisk rather than leisurely
- Partially guided — expect some independent time alongside guided sections
- Suits families and those wanting culture without a long commitment
