The day tours are suitable for visitors who visit Kathmandu for a weekend or a few days of a business tour. Also, a day tour could be equally handy for travellers already in Kathmandu having 1 or 2 extra days pre or post-tour of their main holiday.

Our bespoke escorted day tour will take you to some of our cultural heritage and historical monument sites within the periphery of Kathmandu Valley. The places you will visit in a day tour include Buddhist Stupas such as Swayambhunath, Namobuddha Kapan monastery etc.).

Similarly, you will visit Hindu Temples such as Pashupatinath, Dakshinkali, Buddhanilkantha etc.). On the other hand, the historical places you will visit are Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square). Equally importantly, you can also go for the hillside tour of Nagarkot, Namobuddha, Dhulikhel and Nagarjun, the nearby places of Kathmandu Valley.

Lastly, a traditional Newari village of Bagmati and Khhokana, a visit to Lele to observe agriculture farming and dairy milk production will be worth a visit.

Also, 1-hour exotic mountain flight to see the World’s highest peak, Mt. Everest, and other innumerable Himalayan peaks be the best idea while you are in Kathmandu!

What to Expect

About Nagarkot

Nagarkot is the best site to see the mountain vistas and sunrise. That’s why many visitors go to Nagarkot to see the sunrise view. The views look spectacular as sunrises from behind the Himalayas.

Nagarkot, a hillside town, lies at an altitude of 2211m above sea level, which is 30 km northeast of Kathmandu. In good weather, you can see great views of the Himalayas, including Annapurna, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, Gauri Shanker and Ganesh Himal.

Also, the mountain flight that operates daily to show Everest and the other Himalayas from Kathmandu flies over the Nagarkot route.

However, to see the sunrise, you must go to Nagarkot at 4 a.m; from Kathmandu. Alternatively, you can spend a night there.

It is also a good place for day hiking to Nagarkot. You can hike from Changu Narayan, Sundarijal, Banepa, and Nala, as well as from Sankhu Bajrayogini.

About Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhara – style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The square is one of the most charming valley as it highlights the ancient of the kings perched on top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in very place – struts, lintels, tympanums, gateways and windows – all seem to form a well orchestrated symphony

  • The Statue of King Bhupatindra Malla: This statue shows king Bhupatindra Malla in the act of worship is set on a column facing the palace. This is considered the most magnificent statue among the many statues in the squares.
