Private Tour of Kathmandu

The beautiful capital of Nepal awaits on this private tour of Kathmandu. After picking you up from your hotel at the selected time, we'll drive to the city centre ready to begin exploring.

We'll embark on a guided walking tour of Kathmandu, focusing on Durbar Square, or "Royal Palace Square", which features many significant buildings and monuments. Admire the Hanuman Dhoka, a palace complex where the former Nepalese monarchy lived until 1886. Your guide will discuss pivotal events in Nepal's history and the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism on its people.

We will then drive through Freak Street, known for its hippy atmosphere, before reaching Kumari House. Here, we will learn about the Living Goddess or Kumari, a young girl who is venerated as a deity, including the process of how the next kumari is chosen.

Next, we will visit Swayambhunath, a religious complex offering panoramic views of Kathmandu from its hilltop location. The over 2500-year-old temple captivates visitors with its golden colors and the prominent image of the Buddha's eyes on all sides of the structure.

This private tour of Kathmandu concludes back at your hotel after three and a half hours of exploring this unique city and its fascinating temples, palaces, and history.
