Patan Private Tour

After picking you up from your hotel in Kathmandu at the selected time, we will drive for 30 minutes to Patan.

Upon arrival in Patan, also known as Lalitpur, or "City of Beauty", we will embark on a guided walking tour of its historic center. One of the oldest Buddhist cities in the world awaits, ready to reveal its charms and legends.

We will spend two and a half hours exploring Patan and admiring its most emblematic monuments, including the famous Durbar, or Royal Palace Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with around twenty historic buildings used by the Malla kings when Patan was an independent city-state.

Your exploration will include Buddhist and Hindu temples, water conduits, and intricately carved gates and sculptures. We will make a stop at the Golden Gate, the entrance to the Royal Palace, and visit the sculpture of Yogendra Malla. Our guide will explain the significance of the cobra and a bird depicted on it.

The excursion ends with drop-off at your hotel in Kathmandu after three and a half hours of discovering the rich culture of Patan.
