Here are the details of any option from above. If you need details for other options, we will send you.
Everest Vacation City and cultural guide will pick you up from your respective hotel in the valley for an exciting tour of Kathmandu Valley. Starting at the heart of the valley, the Kathmandu Durbar Square is the foremost destination for you today. This place is steeped in old history and rich Nepali culture from the 16th century till now. The former royal palace from where the Malla kings ruled over Kathmandu, is also renowned as the Hanuman Dhoka (palace). Once here there are many dazzling monuments you won’t like to miss.
Visit the majestic Kastamandap Temple (the name of this city is derived from the word ‘Kasthamandap’), a temple built from woods coming from a single tree. Then you will have an opportunity to visit the temple of the Kumari Goddess (the only living goddess in Nepal). Kumaris selected here are of tender child age and are considered and worshipped in the form of Divine power. After her puberty phase, the next kumari is selected. Visit the famous freak street, a popular place of budget tourist shopping, and the hippie’s meetup point before Thamel overshadowed it.
After a lively and exciting tour a short drive towards the west of the city to reach your next destination in the form of Swoyambhunath Stupa. It is located on a hilltop, with fabulous Panoramic views of Kathmandu city and green hills surrounding it. Further north from the hill in clear weather, you can view high snow-capped mountains.
One of the oldest historical sites in the UNESCO World Heritage sites from Nepal, Swoyambhunath ages back more than 2, 5000 years. The stupa complex consists of old Buddhist religious monuments topped with a colossal dome-shaped stupa. With four mystical eyes of Buddha overlooking four directions in the dome, you will have a sacred feeling of fulfillment in this place. This place is surrounded by green forest with many monkeys dwelling around this place. Hence the temple is also known as “Monkey Temple.”
Our next destination lies a short distance towards the east of Kathmandu city. Pashupatinath Temple area is one of the most sacred places for Hindu Pilgrims around the world. Non-Hindu tourists are not allowed inside the main temple. However one can visit the surrounding shrines and also view the temple from a nearby spot. The Pashupatinath Temple lies on the banks of the Holy Bagmati River. The main temple has a golden pagoda-tier roof and four silver doors.
Surrounded by lovely forests and lush vegetation, Pashupatinath is an important Pilgrimage for Hindu devotees. This place packs with domestic and international pilgrims in mid-February on Shiva Ratri (birth anniversary of Lord Shiva). On the opposite side of the Pashupatinath and bank of the Bagmati river, funeral and cremation take place according to the Hindu religion. A heart-touching site but a vital experience about the way of life.
Then drive towards the northeast reaching Bouddhanath Stupa. Also famous as the “Little Tibet” of Nepal due to the strong Tibetan influence here in culture, traditions, and religion. Bouddhanath is a vast white dome with a low tier from where one can walk up near the top. With lovely views of the culture and Buddhist Tradition, you will have a peaceful time. Surrounding the Bouddhanath area are Souvenir shops, stores, restaurants, and monasteries. You can experience nightlife in Boudhanath with Tibetan tea in the evening.
After this fascinating tour of lovely historical and cultural influence from your destination, return to your respective hotels.

I am a person that sets a bar high for everything. For a vacation as well it is difficult to please me. But, this tour of the fantastic destinations of Nepal has me on my knees. Never before had I felt about a place like here. I was humbled by the majestic views and magical monuments of Pokhara and Kathmandu.
I selected Everest vacation randomly and I had a few expectations. But, the tour organized by the team and assistance provided by Umesh was very helpful. Even during the hikes here, I had every help available to make everything smooth. As a solo traveler, I was amazed at the photography skills of my guide too. I recommend Netra and Everest Vacation for a pristine vacation in Nepal.

I was just a backpacker wandering on my own while traveling throughout the world. However, this tour of Nepal made me realize the importance of a good guide, especially in a new country. Some of the places I went would never have been on my radar if I was alone. Similarly, the local suggestions in anything from food to shopping areas were just worth it.
I had a well-rounded tour of Kathmandu Bhaktapur and Lalitpur in Nepal. But the highlight for me, if asked, will be the Everest Heli tour. As not a trekking person this was perfect for me to be closer to the Himalayas and Everest itself. I always feel that the passion to do something makes the experience more valuable. My guides here in Nepal as well as the tour operators of Everest Vacation proved it to me. The patience they showed and the urge to give every traveler more is what makes this company different and I highly recommend it.
