Kathmandu Valley Tours
Temples, stupas and royal squares of the valley
The Kathmandu Valley holds seven UNESCO World Heritage monuments within a short drive of each other: the great stupas of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath, the Hindu temple complex of Pashupatinath, and the royal Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.
A guided tour brings the stories, festivals and craftsmanship behind them to life, and every tour below is led by a licensed local guide.

Questions about kathmandu valley tours
Can I combine a valley tour with a mountain flight?
Yes. Mountain flights leave early in the morning, so many travelers fly first and start their valley tour afterwards.
