Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu, Full-day Kathmandu sightseeing
Your pleasant Kathmandu tour with Nagarkot starts today as soon as you reach Tribhuvan International Airport. Our experienced guide will greet you outside the Arrival Hall. It takes about 15 minutes to transfer from the airport to your hotel. After checking in the hotel, the guide will take you to visit Kathmandu Durbar Square. This is a great place to view Nepalese temple buildings as it is filled with more than 50 ancient architectures built between the 16th and the 19th centuries, including Kumari Temple, also named "Temple of the Living Goddess". You will also visit a local market for a glimpse of real Nepalese life. The place is crowded with vendors selling vegetables, spices, and daily necessities. Then visit the Swayambhunath Temple. Standing high on a hill-top, Swayambhunath is one of the best temples in Nepal. The awesome city view from this temple is definitely a bonus for your visit.
Day 2: Half-day visit in Kathmandu, Private transfer to Nagarkot for sunset view
Today we start with the Bouddhanath Stupa, an iconic sight of Kathmandu. As the largest and one of the most important temples in Nepal, here you can see many devoted pilgrims, as well as monks worshiping and performing their religious activities. Next we will proceed to Patan Durbar Square, which is an ideal place to know more about culture and traditions of old Nepal. Lunch is on your own arrangement, so you can find a restaurant to your liking at the guide's advice. We will then drive for about one hour to Nagarkot. You will have chance to enjoy stunning sunset over the snow Mountains. Stay overnight at the hotel in Nagarkot.

Day 3: Nagarkot sunrise, Bhaktapur one-day city tour with Durbar Square
The beauty of sunrise is one of the greatest feats of nature in Nagarkot. If the weather is good, you can get up early to watch the charming sunrise over the Himalayas. After breakfast, we will drive for around 30 minutes to arrive at Bhaktapur, which is known as the cultural capital of Nepal. Here we will visit the Bhaktapur Durbar Square and the Dattatreya Temple. As the oldest among the three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur has something really different from the other two. Walking down the little alleys and looking at the intricate woodworks, you will easily feel the deep cultural atmosphere. The Kumari culture of Nepal is very special and controversial, and if you're interested in that, we'll also drop a visit to a former Kumari's home so you may get chance to talk with her and learn more about her life. On our way back to the hotel in Kathmandu, we will visit Thimi for the Pashupatinath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Tonight, you will be invited to a local family's house to learn cook from the host and enjoy dinner with them.

Our guests enjoy the freedom to choose a different travel style and 99% of our guests enjoy tailor-making their travel itineraries. We will make a quick reply within 24 hours.
Surprisingly Low Price
If you spare a few minutes to compare our prices with those of our competitors, you will find our prices are at least 50% lower. Why? No secret! Our company works with low profit margins, as low as 6% rather than 50% like other operators. In most cases, our competitors' prices for group tours are higher than those for our private tours. So, you can imagine what they might charge for a private trip. We strongly recommend that you make a comparison with our competitors online or in your local community. Pay attention to our well-selected chain hotels and fully packed daily activities.
No Annoying Shopping Stops
Shopping tours will not only take your time from sightseeing, but also waste your money on overpriced items. Our no shopping promise will enable you to thoroughly enjoy the trip without facing aggressive selling. All our guides are well-paid so they will concentrate on delivering the holiday experience you expect.

Some companies claim they have "No Obligatory Shopping", please be cautious as they just give their shopping tours a happy gloss. Some do not mention any shopping in itineraries, which doesn't mean they are shopping-free tours. You are advised to ask the operators directly before booking.
Optional Tours Are Tourist Traps
Optional tours mean you will spend much more than you originally booked. Some agencies advertise low-cost tours, but you then find you have to pay high prices for optional tours of the must-see sites. Our tours are all-inclusive with transparent itineraries.
People to People Connected
We will make your trip more than just sightseeing. In addition to the popular attractions that every agency will arrange, you will be deeply involved in the lives of local residents in our tours.

• Stroll through a very traditional market in a residential area jammed with vendors selling vegetables, spices and daily necessities. You will see the real life of the Nepalese people.

• Join a local family for dinner, see their real living conditions and learn from the host to cook typical Nepalese dishes.
The Living Goddess Kumari
In Nepal, The living goddess named Kumari has long been one of the country's most mysterious beings. How to choose a Kumari? What are their daily life like? And how do they live once their tenure as a Kumari ends? Traveling with us, you will not only meet the current living goddess, but also visit the home of an ex-Kumari and talk to her about her legendary life.
