Overview

The Seven World Heritage Day Tour of Kathmandu presents a distinctive convergence of history, culture, and spirituality within a compact geographical span. What makes this tour truly unique is the sheer density and diversity of heritage sites it encompasses. In a single day, travellers journey through millennia of human endeavour, from ancient temples reflecting age-old spiritual traditions to royal squares echoing the grandeur of dynastic reigns. Each site, be it the serene Boudhanath Stupa with its omnipresent Buddha eyes or the bustling Kathmandu Durbar Square alive with local life, tells a tale of Nepal's intricate tapestry of Buddhist and Hindu coexistence. Furthermore, the architectural splendours, the exquisite wood and stone carvings, and the intangible aura of reverence make this tour an unparalleled immersion into the heart of Nepal's cultural and historical legacy. The fact that all these landmarks have earned UNESCO World Heritage status speaks to their global significance.

As one of the most ancient and revered religious sites in the country, its white dome and glistening golden spire adorned with the watchful eyes of Buddha attract pilgrims and tourists alike. Its name derives from the lively troops of monkeys that dwell within the complex, adding a lively dynamic to the serene, spiritual ambiance.

The temple is adorned with intricate wood and stone carvings that narrate tales from Hindu legends and epics.

This revered Hindu sanctuary, dedicated to Lord Shiva, attracts devotees and pilgrims from around the globe. The main temple's stunning architectural design features a gilded rooftop, silver-plated doors, and intricate wood carvings. Yet, it's not just the temple that holds significance; the adjoining ghats, where cremations are performed, serve as poignant reminders of life's transience. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pashupatinath embodies the essence of Nepal's profound spiritual and cultural heritage.

Great way to experience seven wonderful sites in Kathmandu and the neighboring areas of Nepal. My guide Ram was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and thoroughly explained each of the sites. A driver takes you in a comfortable car to each one. There is some walking and climbing but it’s well worth it! A great way to learn about the culture and history of Nepal!

Our guide Summit was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to see so much of Kathmandu and surrounding areas. The cremation experience along the river was humbling and likely once in a lifetime.

I had received confirmation for my booking starting at 8:30 pick up After waiting and trying to contact them with no pick up they cancelled just after 9. This was very unprofessional and left me with no plans for the day. Their reasoning was due to not getting enough people. They offered alternative days but I was flying out the next day. Earlier notice would have been appreciated. They also then tried to sell me a tour x4 the price of the original.

We really enjoyed this tour. We had a private driver and guide so it was so easy getting to different places. We chose the inclusive option so our admission and lunch were all included. Our guide also provided water and a snack pack which was a nice extra touch. This is a great way to easily see the sights of Kathmandu in one trip. The guide was very helpful answering any questions that we had and explaining the history of each sight we visited. Overall a great day!

Tour was excellent The guide, Sumita is a walking Google with warmth. Knowledgeable about history, politics, spirituality / religion Administration was very poor. Emailed to change start time, email response was 'sure' yet driver turned up at original time Seems the message was not passed onto the driver and guide So no breakfast or coffee - disastrous
