Kathmandu is a legendary valley and you'll explore its top sights on this four-day tour in Nepal!
The valley was once a popular merchant route for Tibetan traders. Aside from the centre of Kathmandu, the suburb area and the green hills that surround the valley have many small villages that are beautiful. Passing by those villages is very rewarding because they offer the best spots to view Kathmandu valley, its landscape, Himalayan ranges and interesting lifestyle of gentle villagers. In addition, there are many culturally and historically important Hindu temples and Buddhist Monasteries.
This is the best suitable tour for people who prefer a rural environment but at the same time prefer proximity to the modern city and its facilities. Every day, you start from luxurious accommodation, walk across rural villages and jungles and finish the day there.Kathmandu is a legendary valley and you'll explore its top sights on this four-day tour in Nepal!
