Itinerary
Thank you for choosing Nepal experience tour! On this day you arrive to Kathmandu and we transfer you to your accommodation. You rest and rejuvenate for days to come. You can as well explore the surrounding and get to know a little about the country and culture.
Accommodation
If you want to see tidbits of Nepal it has to begin from the capital city of Kathmandu itself. The reason behind the Kathmandu sightseeing is because it is the best way to explore the oldest and the richest culture existing in the country. We begin early in the morning and visit couple of UNESCO world heritage sites of Boudha, Swayambhu and Basantapur Durbar square. The entire tour would take around 3-4 hours but with multiple breaks in between. We begin after breakfast and will break for lunch around 1 o'clock. Overnight in Kathmandu.
