Only got a few days? This short stay fits the very best of the valley around your flights. We'll meet you at the airport, then you'll spend a full day with your guide at the four city World Heritage sites before driving up to Nagarkot for a night on the valley rim.
At dawn, the Himalaya lights up along the northern horizon (it's worth setting the alarm for, we promise). After breakfast, you'll walk down to Changu Narayan, visit Bhaktapur on the way back, and spend a final night in Kathmandu before your flight.
The price covers your transfers, guiding and transport. Just tell us the standard of hotel you'd like, and we'll add a quote for your three nights.

Questions about this tour
What should I wear?
Something that covers your shoulders and knees, and shoes you can slip on and off easily. Some temples will ask you to take off your shoes and any leather items before you go in.
Are entrance fees included?
No. You'll pay the fees in Nepali rupees at each gate, and your guide will show you where. Hang on to your ticket, though, as some sites check it more than once.
Can we change the order or add a stop?
Of course! The tour is private, so your guide can swap sites around or add a short stop on the way, as long as everything still fits into the day.
Want to change something?
Every tour is private, so we can easily change the start time, add a stop or even join two tours into one day. Just tell us what you have in mind!
