- Swayambhunath - Swayambhunath Stupa aka “The Monkey Temple,” is located on the top of Kathmandu. It has 365 stairs to be actual that contains you to the top for the exceptional view of the city itself. You can locate many small shrines and souvenir shops on the way to top with monkeys roaming around freely. You are free to take pix on the road, and some monkeys would possibly pose for a photo too. As the top, you will see a sizeable gold-plated thunderbolt (Vajra). It is one of the intriguing monuments there. Also, right next to it is the large white dome with a cubical top. It is the Swayambhunath stupa that did now not fall even` though many other temples around the area crumbled after the earthquake of 2015. You will also see many prayers wheels of special sizes nearly in every section around the Swayambhunath.

Experience All Seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in One Day!
The Kathmandu Valley is home to seven magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Sites, boasting over 2000 years of history. Held in high regard for their architectural mastery and spiritual importance, these sites are among Nepal’s most iconic attractions. However, we understand that time can be a constraint. Hence, at Himalayan Advisor, we’ve pioneered a one-day tour covering all seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites–the first of its kind in Nepal.
The tour spans from 7 am to 7 pm, with private car transportation for expeditious transitions between sites. The journey encompasses not only the landmarks in and around Kathmandu but also features the celebrated city of Bhaktapur and the less frequented yet widely revered Changu Narayan.

Do this tour with Ananta as your guide. - Great Tour. My guide Ananta was very knowledgeable and provided many insights into Buddhist, Hindu & Nepalese culture. There was a different story for each of the many temples we visited. Highly recommended but please request Ananta to be your guide.

Best intro to Kathmandu UNESCO World Heritage sites - Took this tour yesterday with guide, Shanti Karki. It was amazing! Shanti has deep knowledge of Nepal’s religious and cultural history. She’s very easy going and full of great stories. I would recommend to anyone!

Highly Recommend - Chanti was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable about the city and all the sites and very friendly. I was glad she joined me for lunch. She also bought me a water during our walk and was super flexible about our day. Highly recommend this tour to see all the UNESCO sites of Kathmandu. I didn't linger much so we finished in nine hours vs 12.

Amazing day in Kathmandu with Kabita - My husband and I had a great day with Kabita touring the sacred historical sites around Kathmandu. She arrived right on time and was a pleasure to spend the day with and get to know. We appreciated that she didn't hold us to a rigid schedule, and allowed us to move at our own pace, customizing our tour. She helpfully contextualized the places we visited with the history, culture, mythology, and mystery of those sacred sites. She also made sure our tour was optimized with great pictures, minimal harassment from street vendors, and helpful information that guided our decision-making throughout the day.
The car was very comfortable, and the driver extremely nice. Each time we got in our out, he had my door opened for me before I could even reach for the handle! I would recommend Kabita to a friend.

Best tour I've ever been on - This tour was great. My guide Pankaj was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about both Hinduism and Budhism, which is very important for this tour. He also was able to answer any question I had about Nepal and the Himalayan region. I recommend doing this tour as soon as you can when staying in Kathmandu. The city can be a bit intimidating at first, but after you make your way around on this full day tour, you will have both the confidence and curiosity to continue further exploration on your own. The driver was also amazing. Besides the beautiful sites and content of the tour, everything logistically was perfect. Booking and communication were excellent and I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel on time. Overall, I say this tour is a must do for any visitor to Kathmandu

Fascinating Kathmandu! - The day tour takes about 12 hours and leads you to the most important sites in Kathmandu - from a living goddess to the very important buddhist and hindu temples. A must for every Kathmandu visitor - highly recommended.
Our guide was very caring and very knowledgable about nepalese history, buddhism and hinduism. Pankaj was a really great tour guide! :-)

Three High Mountain Passes to Everest Base Camp - This is a life-changing trek in so many ways. Seeing and learning about the Nepalese people and how they continue to struggle after the impact of the 2016 earthquake is heart wrenching. The trek itself was fairly physically demanding, but each stop had its own learning for me. This is different than the Everest Base Camp Trek as it is quite a bit longer and you spend a lot more time above 17000 feet. I loved the journey and made some great friends while there. I highly recommend this trek to those who are physically able.
FYI - I actually went in 2018, but that was not a choice in the drop down menu.

Perfect tour to see almost everything in Kathmandu - I had amazing trip. This was my first time to Kathmandu and I went solo. I saw almost everything. Shanti was so kind to help me taking so many pictures. I did rent traditional dress and it was the highlight of the tour for me. Prepare to walk so many steps and wear your most comfy walking shoes.
