This 4-day cultural tour covers all seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu Valley: the three Durbar Squares (Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur), the stupas of Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, and the Hindu temple complexes of Pashupatinath and Changu Narayan. These monument zones collectively tell the story of Newar craftsmanship, Buddhist and Hindu devotion, and the medieval Malla kingdoms that shaped the Valley’s identity.
We follow a proven 4-day format used by leading operators: arrival day, two full sightseeing days to comfortably see all UNESCO sites (with time for Patan Museum and Bhaktapur’s artisans), and a departure day. It’s an easy, vehicle-assisted tour with guided walks in car-free heritage cores.
Best time: year-round; for the clearest air and festivals, spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov) are ideal. We handle logistics, licensed guiding, and monument entry ticketing so you can focus on the history, art, and living culture.
