About this experience

What to expect

Old Kathmandu Tour is a one-of-a-kind trip that starts right at your hotel lobby if you are in tourist town Thamel, or we pick you up and bring you to the starting point by a mere 20-minute drive. As the journey begins, you will explore the heart of Old Kathmandu with knowledgeable local guides, indulging lesser-tourist corners rich in ancient culture, bustling markets, and revered religious sites dating back over a millennium. Experience the authentic rhythm of local life against the backdrop of historic Buddhist shrines and Hindu temples that often stand together. The journey also includes UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kathmandu Durbar Square and living goddess Kumari's Shrine, as it is a profound tour combined both less visited and popular sites. Finally, have a tea/coffee together with our guide and reflect on the journey in a casual conversation. Remember! if you are thinking of one tour to understand Kathmandu and Nepal, this is the one!
