Overview
This Luxurious Cultural Tour will take you through and around the Kathmandu Valley’s culturally rich small towns and settlements. Nepal is a small nation, but despite its size, it should serve as a model for the rest of the world for how people of various castes, religions, and cultures may coexist peacefully. Take one of our cultural excursions in Nepal to see temples, stupas, and monasteries while learning about different cultures, interacting with locals, acknowledging their way of life, and comparing the differences you will find interesting.
As soon as you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, our courteous office personnel will welcome you there and drive you to your hotel before we start our Nepal Culture Tour. On the first day of our Nepal Cultural Tour, we go sightseeing at the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. When you visit these locations, you can learn about more than just cultural features; you’ll also be rewarded with breathtaking architectural beauty that will amaze you for a long time.
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. This helps us get to know and understand one another better. The following day, we leave for the Vajrabarahi village of Bandegaon in the morning and visit the Patan Museum and the Tibetan Refugee Camp in the afternoon.
Also, a trip to the surrounding town of Bhaktapur will astound you because it is so close to the heart of Kathmandu and offers the chance to see century-old residences, temples, museums, and the way of life of people who still work in their traditional professions.
Then, finally, the trip ends with a trip to Dhulikhel, where you can get an excellent view of the surroundings that will add flavor to your Nepal Cultural Tour.
