What To Expect
Boudhanath Stupa
The tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel. Boudhanath Stupa lies around 4 miles away from the heart of Kathmandu city. It is also one of the largest stupa in the world, and one of the main centers for Kathmandu Buddhist Tour in the Kathmandu valley. Boudhanath Stupa has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, surrounded by Tibetan settlers; the place gives you a feel of a small Tibetan village. While you are there walk around the stupa and spin the Mani wheels (prayer wheels) and find your inner peace among the many monks who chant prayers in unison.
Kopan Monastery
We will head off to another major Buddhist Pilgrimage site in Kathmandu Valley, after we cut across the daytime traffic; we reach the famous Kapan Monastery. Kapan Monastery is a Gelug tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism and is guided by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, it houses over 360 monks, lamas, teachers and other workers. There are visitors from all over the world, who come here to attend Buddhisum courses and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of the place for study and practice. The monestary is especially famous for teaching Buddhism to visiting Western foreigners and visitors. It is also one of the main Buddhist Pilgrimage Sites, which runs a nunnery with 360 nuns, many of them refugees from Tibet. Apart from the spiritual environment, the monastery also offers and excellent view of the Kathmandu Valley.

5.00I had an amazing time at Nepal and Bhutan! My trip was at the time of the riot. Before the trip, the riot broke out and my family had concerns with safety, I reached out to my third rock agent and they gave me the confidence that my trip will not be effected and safety will not be an issue, so I continued with my planned trip. Arriving Nepal, I was greeted by my tour guide at the airport and picked up by the driver and dropped me off to the hotel. After refreshing, we started our first city tour. I was accompanied by a tour guide at all time and a driver who is very skillful and safe. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and recommended good restaurants for me to experience! Still awww by the beautiful culture of Nepal and wow by the beauty of Bhutan. Bhutan was breathtakingly beautiful filled with kind and friendly people, Long story short, my trip was rewarding and amazingly fun! Thank you Naba for your hospitality, great planning and your wonderful team making me feel like home!! Hope to see you soon! Until next time…
Kabita was an incredible guide and font of knowledge! Beautiful sacred sites with a very safe driver-enjoyed it!

5.00I had an incredible experience with Third Rock Adventure, and I highly recommend their services to anyone traveling in Nepal. Everything was well-organized, and their team ensured a smooth and enjoyable trip. I did the Namobuddha hike with my guide, Jaya, who was fantastic. The hike offered breathtaking mountain views, and Jaya was knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating. Visiting Namobuddha Monastery was particularly special for me, given my interest in Buddhism. Seeing the gompa, the stupa, and the shrine dedicated to the “Tiger Buddha” (Prince Mahasattva) added a deeply meaningful aspect to the journey. The peaceful atmosphere and spiritual significance of the site made it an unforgettable experience. The next day, I took the Pharping tour with Ram, an excellent driver who made the trip even better. We visited the Kali Temple, Padmasambhava Statue, Vajrayogini Temple, and Asura Cave, all of which were fascinating sites rich in history and spiritual importance. Ram was professional, courteous, and ensured a comfortable journey. What stood out most was his willingness to go beyond the itinerary—he took me to some additional local sights and made an impromptu stop at Kirtipur Durbar Square on the way back to Kathmandu. Exploring the old Newari architecture and historic charm of Kirtipur was an unexpected highlight of the day. Overall, I had a fantastic time in Nepal, and Third Rock Adventure played a huge role in making it memorable. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing an excellent experience. Highly recommended! Thank you for the amazing journey.

5.00As my first time in Asia, visiting Kathmandu, Nepal, i had such an amazing experience with the Third Rock Adventure with Mr Jaya my tour guide. He was such a welcoming and knowledgeable person (who took so many photos and videos of me😂😂, and took me for a Royal meal in the heart of Bouddha stupa), and ended being my friend!! During the visit, i managed to see the cultural, historic, religious, art and great architecture of ChanguNarayan, Bhaktapur Durbur Square and Bouddha greatest stupa! I would highly recommend Third Rock Adventure🔥🔥
