As you step out of the airport into the capital of Nepal, it is overwhelming for you to process the amalgam of chaos and beauty that is the Kathmandu valley.

The vibrancy in color, culture and heritage of the valley will keep your senses ever so busy. Kathmandu is the hub of the nation but is still very close to tradition and antiquity. The valley is surrounded by hills over 2000 meters on all sides, sheltered by the mountains in the north. Home to the three medieval cities of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur as well as lots of villages in its outskirts, Kathmandu is already a wanderer’s delight. The trio cities are home to the ancient cultures and architectural landmarks, including 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites. These include towering pagoda temples and palaces, with intricate stone and wood carvings, preserved for centuries. The architecture ranges from temples from the Lichhavi era to the Malla era and to the most recent European styled Rana administration buildings, with many variations of similar architecture in between.

We have laid out a few options for your full day tours in Kathmandu that ranges from the popular must see areas to a more relaxed and slightly off beat paths.
