This Luxurious Tour will take you through and around the Kathmandu Valley’s culturally rich small towns and settlements.

The following day, after seeking the goddess Dakshinkali’s blessings, we will go through the historic Kirtipur, which is very significant to Nepalese history. Great views of forested valleys, rivers, terrace farming, ponds, waterfalls, and communities may be found along the route. We get a traditional glimpse of Newari culture by visiting the tiny towns of Bungmati and Khokana.
Our Nepal Culture Tour is different from others in that we will converse with people and learn about their way of life in addition to sightseeing.
