Kathmandu day tour
Kathmandu and its surrounding hills offer many day tours and weekend trips like sightseeing, hiking, day rafting trips, paragliding, Everest sightseeing flight, Bungee jumping, mountain biking and more. Kathmandu valley is a perfect blend of culture and nature to offer a day trip and active weekend holidays to see Himalayas and immerse in its culture. For those on a business trip, conference or volunteering, there are ample outdoor activities or weekend trips in and around Kathmandu. The seven groups of medieval Newari architecture together make Kathmandu an UNESCO Heritage site. A day tour of Kathmandu gives a good perspective into the cultural life, spiritualism and history of civilization across the Himalayas. The Shivapuri national park and other lush hills make a perfect day hike or short trek for the weekend in Kathmandu. The glacial Rivers like Trishuli and Bhotekoshi make great White-water rafting day trips or weekend rafting trips with camping both for beginners and veteran rafters. For those with very limited time, it just takes one hour in the morning for ‘Everest sightseeing flight’.
Fantastic, high knowledgable & professional private guide service
Excellent tour that focused on the spiritual & religious history that helps explain the unique city that is Kathmandu.
My guide was very professional and friendly. He wanted to make sure I was happy at all times - the tour was at a relaxed place - important so you can soak it all in - and I personally found it very interesting.
Really enjoyable experience - I would urge anyone coming to the Kathmandu & Nepal to hire a licensed guide in order to really enjoy and appreciate what you are seeing. - Nick TG - UK - 11 Sept
