Walking Tour of Kathmandu

Explore the rich culture and vibrant streets of Nepal on a walking tour. Stroll through ancient courtyards, climb to sacred stupas, and enjoy lakeside walks with stunning views.
Begin your walking tour in the historic heart of Kathmandu, particularly around Kathmandu Durbar Square. Stroll through ancient courtyards surrounded by intricately carved temples, shrines, and palaces that date back centuries.

Soak up the lively atmosphere with street vendors, local artisans, and devotees creating a unique blend of history and everyday life. Listen as your guide shares stories about Nepal’s royal past, religious traditions, and architectural heritage.

From there, continue to Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. Climb up the stone steps and be rewarded with panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. Along the way, encounter prayer flags, spinning prayer wheels, and playful monkeys, making the journey both spiritual and lively.

Another highlight is the ancient city of Bhaktapur, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture. Walking through Bhaktapur Durbar Square feels like stepping back in time.
