Private Exploration of Kathmandu
The charming capital of Nepal invites you to join this private exploration of Kathmandu. Upon collecting you from your hotel at a time of your choosing, we will set off towards the heart of the city to commence our journey.
Our adventure begins with a guided walking tour of Kathmandu, focusing particularly on Durbar Square or "Royal Palace Square," a site rich in history filled with various significant monuments and structures. Saintly observations of the Hanuman Dhoka, a grand palace complex that served as the residence of the former Nepalese royal family until 1886, will be enhanced by your guide’s insights into pivotal moments in Nepal's past and the daily influence of Hinduism and Buddhism on its culture.
After this, we’ll travel through Freak Street, celebrated for its bohemian vibe, leading us to Kumari House. Here, you will discover stories about the Living Goddess, or Kumari, a young girl revered as a divine figure. Curious about the selection process for the next kumari? You’ll gain all the details during our visit!
Subsequently, our journey will take us to Swayambhunath, a sacred site offering breathtaking panoramic views over Kathmandu from its elevated position. The temple, which has been around for over 2500 years, mesmerizes visitors with its radiant colors and the striking depiction of the Buddha's eyes adorning every side of the structure.
Your personalized tour will conclude back at your hotel, wrapping up an enlightening three and a half hours spent delving into the rich culture, enchanting temples, and historical narratives of this unique city.
