Description

Trip Introduction

Kathmandu Valley represents a cultural meeting point in the region. The valley’s profound mystic culture and lifestyle is based on a unique amalgamation of Hinduism and Buddhism as well as many other faiths and belief systems. Kathmandu Valley, the cultural and commercial hub of Nepal, contains three fabled cities – Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Each has an artistic exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick-paved courtyards and quaint streets. Multi roofed temples, exquisite monasteries, stone carvings and wooden carvings, and the age-old traditions and religious festivals have kept Kathmandu valley with immense vivacity till today. The Kathmandu valley holds a considerably high number of places recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. We take you to some of the World Heritage Sites in this trip.

The 3-day Kathmandu Transit Tour has been designed for those visiting Kathmandu for a very short time period, especially for business people and professionals or the travelers in transit. If you wish to make an extended tour of the valley we suggest you to try our Extended Kathmandu Valley Tour 7 Days, or make a tour of all World Heritage Sites of Nepal including Lumbini & Mt. Everest Mountain flight with our tour itinerary Nepal Heritage Tour with Mt. Everest 10 Days.
