A full-day tour in Kathmandu comprises sightseeing around 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Kathmandu Valley (which includes three districts, namely Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur). 

Kathmandu literally is known as the "city of temples" and the "city of gods and goddesses" and carries religious and cultural significance for both Hindu and Buddhist followers. It is a spiritual land full of mystery, myth, and religion. Thus, the history of the city carries a story related to religion.

Mixed with different ethnic settlements dwelling together in the city of Kathmandu. Travelers will be stunned to view the festival around the city, as the dwellers celebrate festivals more than the number of days in a year.

People are in a festive mood every day, and you will be able to encounter all the ceremonies going on around the city throughout the year. Uncountable numbers of Temples, Stupas, and Gumbas around make Kathmandu one of the unique and antic cities, an open living museum, and the heritage city of Nepal.

The narrow alleys around and people living in typical architectural buildings are fascinating views of the city, with devotees every day flourishing around the Temples and Stupa for their daily ritual ceremonies, this will make your tour one of the memorable moments.

It's not a mere observation while being in Kathmandu, this valley is diverse with culture and religion carrying the live image of overall Nepal and is filled with the spiritual and mythical supremacy one can feel throughout the visit.

Starting the Swyambhunath Stupa famously known as the Monkey Temple lies at the top of a hillock a beautiful place to view Kathmandu Valley, the Langtang Himalayan ranges, lovely stupas, and temples filled with monkeys surrounding the entire spectrum.

Further, you will be heading towards Patan Durbar Square, one of the oldest settlements of the Kirat king; the Palace, Golden temple, Bhimsen temple, Krishna mandir, Sundari Chok, Taleju temple, Royal bath, etc will be a soothing view and never to miss the Ashoka stupa build during 2nd century BC.

Heading further from Patan Durbar Square towards Pashupatinath, one of the holiest Hindu temples, where every year millions of devotees from around the world flock to pay homage to get liberation from their sin and also a place to view the open cremation ceremony of the death.

If you visit Pashupatinath Temple during the Shivaratri Festival which falls on February-March, you an easy view of Nanga Baba (necked Saddhu) smoking marijuana with devotees will be viewed. In a single-day festival, almost a million people visit Pashupatinath, an important day for Lord Shiva during Shivaratri.

Finally, your tour will end after visiting Bouddhanath Stupa, one of the biggest stupas dedicated to Buddhism, a culturally mixed area for both Hindu and Buddhist followers.

With numerous monasteries around where you can experience lamas performing ritual ceremonies, praying flags fluttering all around, and strolling praying wheels around the stupa to get a blessing. And finally enjoying your lunch at one of the rooftop restaurants, you will drive to your respective hotel.

Best place to assist trek

I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

Solo female 8 days trek in monsoon - a bit crazy but safe and def happy. Amar and Krishna ROCK

Organizers Kumar and Santosh - are kind, accessible, responsive, attentive, helpful, and hard-working people, Amar guide and Krishna porter - were like my brothers, I’m grateful for the experience shared with these two on my 8 days hike, it had a lot of difficulties due to monsoon but in a good company all becomes an adventure, because in the end, especially in the Himalayas: no pain no gain?!

Amazing Everest Heli tour and Chitwan Safari with Discover Altitude Treks ..

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Discover Altitude Trek's Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari. Both adventures were beyond my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari with them was a privilege beyond words. The helicopter tour granted breathtaking aerial views of Everest's splendor, impeccably guided by Santosh. The Chitwan Safari, a mesmerizing jungle encounter, offered close wildlife encounters and seamless accommodations. Santosh's exceptional leadership and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience. Discover Altitude Trek's unwavering commitment to excellence and the team's passionate dedication made these journeys truly extraordinary.

2 day private tour Kathmandu

To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
I can recommend him.

Attractions in Kathmandu

Although my helicopter tour to the Everest base camp fell through due to unforeseen weather conditions, both Santosh and Kumar were very helpful. They not only ensured my refund for the cancellation but Santosh went the extra mile, helped us get around Kathmandu, and recommended places for us. They both possess immense knowledge not just about Nepal, but also about Bhutan and Tibet. They offer unique experiences and are passionate about what they do. I highly recommend them, whether you are looking for tips on getting by Kathmandu or planning your trek to the Everest base camp. These guys are your go-to! Responsive, transparent, and very good prices.

Nature - The real healer.

The root cause of misery is our distant relationship with nature. When we again are in nature, we are healed. In a state of severe anxiety and stress, I went for a trek with Discover Altitude. The natural aura and energy along with the friendly attitudes of Basu G and Kumar G helped me to overcome my inner disturbances.
I would like to suggest all the friends who are in search of sheer peace from all around the world including Europe and America to come in the lap of mother nature. Discover altitude can be your best pal to do so.
Thanks again to Discover Altitude, Basu G, and Kumar G for their inexplicable support.
