This trip is designed in such a way that it helps travelers to explore the local lifestyle of people in Kathmandu Valley including one of the most visited UNESCO enlisted heritage sites and the rest of all the equally interesting but less explored sites of Kathmandu & Bhaktapur city.
Boudhanath Stupa is one of the biggest Stupas in South Asia. The giant Stupa is a gateway to heaven serving as a horizon between the earth and sky. The eyes of Buddha painted on Stupa are diversely described as mysterious, impassive, empathy & shrewd. Nawatan Dham, a less explored site but rich in cultural value is a holy shrine of Hindus. Nagadesh is an old city in Bhaktapur that holds ancient values. Shankha Statue park is in the old city Patan, at the bank of Bagmati river. It is a peaceful & fun place to visit.
We make sure that who picks this short trip, will not only explore the sites but also learn the culture, lifestyle of people & other shades & sides of Kathmandu & Bhaktapur. Enjoy the trip!

5.00Sabbatical Explore Nepal gave me an truly unforgettable experience of Nepal. My host and owner of Sabbatical Explore Nepal, Shiva gave me the most personable trip I have ever experienced and I have traveled to many places around the world. Shiva treated me like a beloved family member who always met my requests promptly and was even became my personal photographer and took some amazing photos of my trip. If you want a truly authentic and heartfelt experience of Nepal, I highly recommend Shiva and his team. It will be the best decision you make.

5.00We recently booked our Nepal trip with Sabbatical Explorer, and the experience was fantastic. Upon arriving in Kathmandu, we were warmly welcomed, and they helped us select the best package after discussing all our options in detail. We even compared a few alternatives in the market and felt confident we’d chosen the right provider. What made this experience special was the personal touch they brought. They listened to our preferences, allowed us to explore each site at our own pace, and never rushed us, which was especially nice since I was traveling with my mother. It felt like we truly got to experience Nepal rather than just checking things off a list. Thanks to their exceptional service, we had a memorable journey, and we’ll absolutely plan another trip with them in the future. Highly recommend Sabbatical Explorer!
Beautiful Nepal

5.00shiva was a great tour planner. he planned everything for us for our stay in nepal and we didn’t lift a finger, just be at the lobby in the morning and everything was sorted for us. it made the vacation unforgettable and very stress free as we didn’t have to worry about anything. all the tours that shiva planned for us were very enjoyable, family friendly and very affordable. definitely recommend shiva and when we return to nepal we will be seeking his services again. every accommodation that shiva booked for us was amazing with all meals included as well as a driver to take us to places.
Friendly and informative!

5.00Shiva helped arrange my sunrise visit to Nagarkot followed by a hike and crossing one of the suspension bridges across the Bagmati. We finished with a visit to Bhaktapur for the Durbah and King Curd. The driver and tour guide were professional yet friendly, and I had no hassles at all on my tour. I would totally recommend using Sabbatical Explore Nepal.
