Kathmandu Heritage Loop

Two days among the temples of Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Patan and Bhaktapur with a Kathmandu-born guide.

Before or after your trek, spend two days in the Kathmandu valley. We pair you with a Kathmandu-born guide for the four great UNESCO sites, with time for the courtyard cafes in between. You spend a night in a heritage hotel in Patan and have a Newari feast there for dinner. Private transport in the valley and all the entry fees are included. Getting from Pokhara to Kathmandu isn't, but we can book the tourist bus or a flight for you.

Questions before you book

Can I see everything in one day?

You can be driven past most of it in one day, but you won't see it. Two days is the least we'd suggest, and three if Bhaktapur matters to you.

Is Kathmandu safe to walk around?

Yes, including for women travelling alone. Use normal city sense: wear your bag on the front in crowds and agree the taxi fare before you get in. Traffic is a bigger hazard than crime.

How much are the entry fees?

They vary by site and have gone up over the years, so we quote them fresh instead of printing figures that go stale. Budget for them properly. On our Heritage Loop, all entry fees are included.

Is it still worth going after the earthquake?

Very much. Most sites are open, a lot has been rebuilt with remarkable craftsmanship, and visitor fees pay for the restoration. Watching the work in progress is part of understanding the place.

Do I pay anything online?

No. You send your dates and pay nothing now. We check guide and permit availability, then reply on WhatsApp or by email with your day-by-day plan and a confirmed price, usually within a few hours, always within a day.

When do I pay?

Nothing until you’re happy. We agree the deposit together, and you pay the balance in Pokhara.

Can I change my dates?

Free date changes up to 15 days before departure.

What if you cancel for weather?

Full refund if we cancel for weather or safety.
