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

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.
