Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage sites Tour takes you through the old gallis (alleys) of Patan Durbar Square where timeless wood and stone carvings of hundreds of Hindu and Buddhist idols greet you from every temple wall. You can admire the countless designs on wood carved windows and the architectural achievements of Newar craftsmen of centuries ago. The stone-carved Krishna temple is one of the most amazing craftsmanship in the old Malla palace and the row of pagoda temples enriching the Durbar Square is a sight to see. The Patan Durbar Square is beautiful and filled with rich culture and architecture. You can also visit Swayambhunath and Baudhanath where you can enjoy a blissful time away from the noise and chaos of the city.

Great experience - We had a fantastic experience on our guided tour around Kathmandu! Prakash, our guide, was exceptional—he shared so much about the history and culture of the area, which really enriched our visit. The experience was seamless from start to finish, allowing us to fully enjoy the sights without any worries. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time exploring. Highly recommend!

A day trip with Prakash - I traveled with Parksay a day trip along with another friend, we did the tour of 4 UNESCO sites.
I highly recommend the trip and Parksak, an amazing guide with great knowledge, excellent English!
Parksak picked us up from the hotel with a driver, we drove in a tight car, comfortable and pleasant between the various sites, Parksak was attentive, and showed great knowledge, answered all our questions happily.
Great trip!! Enjoy!

Quick but awesome Kathmandu tour! - I did solo tour with Prakash Aryal and it was awesome. I landed on Sunday around noon and hadn't planned ahead, but I sent him a message on Whatsapp (he was recommended by my friend) asking if he could arrange a pickup at my hotel in a couple hours. I wanted to do a quick tour of Kathmandu since I was leaving for Bhutan the following day.
Not only did he arrange a driver, but he came himself as a tour guide and took me to Pashupathinath Temple and Buddha Stupa. It was great having him along to explain the history/significance of the sights and to navigate a large bustling city after the driver dropped us at each site. He was also kind enough to drop me in Thamel after my tour to meet my friends for dinner.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful on short notice, highly recommended! Thanks Prakash!!

Well-paced and informative tour, very knowledgable guide. - We did the Private Kathmandu Top 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites tour, including Swayambunath, Patan Durbar, Pashupatinath and Bodnath. We had a great day travelling around the most important sites in Kathmandu. Arrangements were easy with great communication. Our guide Prakash was very well-informed, and explained all the details of the sights with much insight. A true scholar and a gentleman! He had a lot of patience with our questions and constant photo-taking. I can highly recommend this tour as a way of seeing these four sights at a perfect leisurely pace.

Fantastic tour of Kathmandu Historic Sites - We had a fantastic time on this tour! The driver and our guide, Prakash, were professional and informative. Amidst the bustle of the city, they both seemed calm going from place to place and Prakash was very knowledgeable about the various sites. I would highly recommend this tour and Prakash for any size group! I loved the Monkey Temple and an art studio tour that explained some of the art of Nepal.

Great tour and save travel through Katmandu. - We saw 4 UNESCO sides and Prakash Aryal did a great job to explain the history of each of them to us and show us around. He also gave us time to look at some handicraft shops and we could buy some nice memories from the heritage of Nepal.
Many thanks also to our driver Niroj Lama, who transferred us safely through Katmandu traffic to all the places we wanted to see and his care about keeping the car in excellent condition.
Many thanks to both of them making our tour a memorable event in Nepal.

Excellent introduction to Kathmandu - This was my first time visiting Nepal and taking this tour during my brief stay served as a perfect introduction to Kathmandu. The team at Attractive Travels and Tours was very prompt and responsive throughout the booking process. I had the good fortune of having Prakash as my guide for the day, he is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and both he and the driver made me feel completely taken care of throughout the day. I felt that the selection of the four sites visited during this tour provides a great cross section of the area's rich cultural heritage, and Prakash shared lots of in-depth context that made visiting these sites much more fulfilling than if I had visited them by myself. The tour wasn't rushed at any point, we stayed at each place until I was ready to go and Prakash patiently answered all my questions and also shared interesting stories. Highly recommended!

Excellent guide, great value, interesting day - Prakash did a great job telling about the history and significance of every site we visited. He also shared details about his life in Nepal and he seemed able to answer any question I could think of.
Visiting 4 unesco sites in a day seemed like the right amount to me. I know there are tours that do seven but I think that would just make for a long and exhausting day.
