A private, land-only package: keep your flights flexible and let us handle everything on the ground.
Day by day
Your itinerary
- 1
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu & Chandragiri Hills
Warm welcome on arrival at Kathmandu airport and a private transfer to your hotel for check-in and a welcome drink. Time permitting, head out to Chandragiri Hills — a scenic cable-car ride climbs to the hilltop for breathtaking panoramas of the Kathmandu Valley and, on clear days, the Himalayan range including Mount Everest. Visit the sacred Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple at the summit before returning to unwind or explore the local markets in the evening.

Day 2: Kathmandu UNESCO heritage sites
After breakfast, a full day among Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the sacred Pashupatinath Temple on the banks of the Bagmati River, the great Boudhanath Stupa at the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, the ancient palaces and courtyards of Kathmandu Durbar Square, and hilltop Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple) with its sweeping views over the city.

Day 3: Patan & Bhaktapur — cultural immersion
Continue through the valley’s medieval cities. Patan Durbar Square dazzles with exquisite Newari craftsmanship and the famous Krishna Mandir, while beautifully preserved Bhaktapur reveals the Nyatapola Temple, the 55-Window Palace and Dattatreya Square. Wander the pottery squares and old streets — and taste the legendary “King Curd” (Juju Dhau) — before returning to Kathmandu.
