Kathmandu: Full-Day 7 UNESCO Tour with Lunch – Private/Group

3.Full-Day 7 UNESCO Tour with Lunch – Private/Group

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 247 reviews · from $5

Visit Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan, Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath with a local guide and air-conditioned transport. Guides including Asmita, Sumit, and Sajina have been praised for clear explanations and attentive care. It is a packed day, so bring cash for entry fees unless you choose the all-inclusive option.

“Had a fabulous day with Anon in Kathmandu. Great guide accommodating all requests, very knowledgeable and good companion! I did not do justice to Kathmandu trying to cover all 7 UNESCO sites in one day - probably worth 2-3 days - but Anon was very generous with his time, and we went well into the evening to meaningfully cover the itinerary. Krishna, our driver had been great too, very safe and careful transfer around the city. Has learnt a lot about culture, architecture, people, food, religion. A well balanced trip! Highly recommended.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 188 reviews · 3 - 7.5 hours · from $5

“I had such a wonderful experience visiting the viewpoint with Anon ☺️ The view was absolutely breathtaking - we were lucky enough to see the sunrise, and the Himalayan view was truly unforgettable. It felt peaceful and magical watching the mountains slowly light up in the morning. The breakfast was also really nice and satisfying, which made the whole morning even better. The only downside was the traffic on the way back to the hotel - Kathmandu was extremely congested and it took much longer than expected. But overall, the experience was totally worth it!”

Leave Kathmandu early by private car for sunrise at Nagarkot, then walk for two to three hours through forest, farmland and Tamang villages toward Changu Narayan Temple.

“Mr Sumit was the best guide ever the driver as well, but if you book this tour you have to know that you have to pay more than 40 US dollar for entrance fee and lunch is just a little breakfast bag. It’s better if they tell you about hole sum before you book”
