3 días por Katmandú tour privado

2023

Tuve el placer de compartir 3 días de Tour alrededor de Katmandú con el guía Bradi Aryal. Fue realmente muy amable y súper dispuesto a acompañarme en cada actividad que desee hacer. Me armaron el plan de acuerdo a mis requerimientos , y en varios días se extendió el horario del tour y siempre estuvieron con la mejor predisposición y buena energía. El tour lo hice sola y a muy buen precio! Recomiendo contratarlos en su visita a Nepal.

Impressive Cultural Tour

Jan 2023

I want to do a short cultural tour in Nepal and have very limited time. One of my friends suggested I consult with Outdoor Himalayan. I immediately contacted them and they offered UNESCO World Heritage Kathmandu tours. They arranged all quickly on short notice. I was very much impressed with the arts, architecture, and design of the Durbar Squares. Also, Monkey Temple, Boudhanath, and Pashupati all were beautiful and unique. Thank you very much Badri for the tour. I am very satisfied with their timely and swift service.

An Amazing Trip to Nepal

May 2022

Badri provided us with an incredible experience during our 6-day trip to Nepal, along with Crisna, our tour guide in Kathmandu. Both were highly knowledgeable and helpful, answering all our questions and addressing our needs. Badri was attentive to all our requests and responded promptly to any concerns we had throughout the trip. The planning process was smooth thanks to Badri’s efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend Badri for a comprehensive Nepal experience! Our driver also deserves a 10/10 rating. We had a fantastic time!

Detail Itinerary

Day 01 Pashupati Nath Temple, Bouddha Nath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa and Kathmandu Durbar Square

we will start our day visiting one of the most revered Hindu temples, Pashupatinath (the Lord of all living creatures). Besides exploring several interesting places in the vicinity, you may also catch sight of dead bodies being cremated on the banks of the Bagmati River, also known as Aryaghat.

From Pashupatinath, we drive to Boudhanath Stupa, an important Buddhist shrine. It looks particularly spectacular in the evening, thanks to thousands of lamps lit by the monks and pilgrims. If time permits

Next, we visit Swoyambhunath Stupa, the world famous stupa located on the top of a hill and is believed to be as ancient as the origin of Kathmandu itself. It is equally popular among Buddhists and Hindus and is often referred to by westerners as the Monkey Temple. A wide view of the valley below can be seen from here.

we will then drive you to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for historical monuments like Hanuman Dhoka Palace, Kumari Ghar (residence of the Living Goddess, Kumari), Temples of Tajeju, Shiva and Parvati, Kal Bhairav, Kasthamandap, and many more. If you wish, you can go back to your hotel on foot enjoying the local market.

Day 02 Changunarayan Temple, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and Patan Durbar Square.

After having breakfast at the hotel, we will head for Changunarayan, a small village set on top of a hill, north of Bhaktapur. This place gets its name from the oldest recorded temple in Kathmandu valley — the temple of Changunarayan (an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, according to Hindu mythology). The temple is famous for its architecture

Next, we head for Bhaktapur Durbar Square and explore several monuments within. After having lunch at a local restaurant, we continue our exploration. We will visit Dattatraya Square, Pottery Square and some narrow alleys of the town. Bhaktapur is also known as the town of Festival, Culture, and Tradition.

we will then visit Patan Durbar Square, yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its collection of unique temples, palaces, and not to forget, Patan Museum. We will stop by a local restaurant for lunch (at some suitable time during the tour). If you wish, we will take you on a short walk through the narrow streets and market areas of Patan to see the local people and culture.

After all, drive back to hotel.
