Good tour that hits the highlights - We did this as an add on to the Everest base camp trek and were very happy. It was a nice way to hit the highlights of Kathmandu and not have to worry about tickets or driving around in an unfamiliar environment. Additionally, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and use to be the head of the Nepalese tour guide association. We really enjoyed the selection of places and were glad we did this!

Awesome Day Tour of Kathmandu UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Really enjoyed this informative trip with our guide, Dil. He is so knowledgeable about Nepal’s history and culture, Buddhism, Hinduism, the Newari people, and so much more. We visited the BoudhanathTemple (visited 2 monasteries there and an art school where we saw the creation of beautiful mandala paintings). Then went to Pashupatinath- saw many smaller Shiva temples and funerals occurring on the banks of the Bagmati River. Only Hindus can enter main temple. Last stop Bhaktapur Durbar Square: you could spend a week there, but we explored as much as we could in an afternoon. We had already visited the Monkey Temple, so we had more time at Bhaktapur. Many beautiful temples and palaces. Also had a lovely lunch (not included, but inexpensive) at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the square. If you have a day in Kathmandu, book this tour with Ace and ask for Dil!
