What To Expect
Swaymbhunath
Perched atop a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley, Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, is one of Nepal’s most sacred and iconic religious sites. Dating back over 2,500 years, this ancient stupa is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus and is a symbol of harmony and spiritual awakening. The white dome and gilded spire, adorned with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, offer a majestic sight and serene atmosphere. As you ascend the stone steps lined with fluttering prayer flags, you’ll encounter playful monkeys, centuries-old shrines, and panoramic views of Kathmandu. Surrounding the main stupa are chaityas, statues, and a variety of temples that reflect a blend of Tibetan and Newari architectural styles. Swayambhunath is more than a monument — it’s a living spiritual hub where rituals, chants, and incense fill the air, offering visitors a profound sense of peace and insight into Nepal’s deep-rooted religious heritage.
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square, also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, is a historic royal complex that served as the palace of the Malla and Shah kings of Kathmandu. Located in the heart of the old city, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a living museum of traditional Newari architecture, intricate wood carvings, and ancient courtyards. The square is home to several important monuments, including the Taleju Temple, the statue of Hanuman at the palace entrance, and the Kumari Ghar — the residence of the Living Goddess, Kumari. As you stroll through the square, you’ll witness a blend of spirituality, royal history, and vibrant local life, with pigeons flying overhead and devotees offering prayers at sacred shrines. Despite suffering damage during the 2015 earthquake, restoration efforts have preserved its timeless charm. Kathmandu Durbar Square offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political heart of old Nepal and its regal past.

5.00I did the Full Day 7 UNESCO Tour for the second time, and it was once again an awesome experience. Just cannot get enough of Nepal and its beautiful places! The full-day itinerary is great, everything was well organized, our guide, Asmi, was knowledgeable and a wonderful person! We also tried some Nepali dishes randomly on the way, they were delicious! Even on my second visit I learned a lot of new things and enjoyed the tour just as much as for the first time a year before. A great way to experience Kathmandu’s rich history and culture — highly recommended, the best way to learn about these sites!

5.00During our short stay in Kathmandu we chose the private day tour to the 7 UNESCO sites. Private vehicle at our disposal with driver and guide, lunch included, entrance fees included, so we didn't have to think about anything. I have to congratulate our guide Sajina Banjara, she is really good. In every place he visited he explained the story in detail, pointed out some very interesting details and then took some incredible photos. She is a very nice and kind person, so it was nice to spend a whole day with her. The lunch included we did in a restaurant with typical Nepalese dishes and international cuisine, good. Thank you Sajina for this beautiful day, we will definitely recommend you to our friends who want to visit Nepal.

5.00We used this holiday company for our whole trip in Nepal and Bhutan. They organised everything based around the hotels that I had booked myself ie. guides; drivers/cars; day tours; visas etc. and everything was excellent. Resham was fantastic from first point of contact, always responding very swiftly to any emails (faster than any UK agency I have ever used!) and could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend them if you are visiting Nepal or Bhutan.

5.00I had an incredible time on today’s tour. From start to finish, everything was seamless, enriching, and really enjoyable. My guide, Asmi, was exceptional — warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about Nepal’s history and culture. She explained each UNESCO site in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand, and she made the entire day feel personal and engaging. I learned so much, and her energy made the experience even more memorable. Our driver, Bhawani, was fantastic as well. He was calm navigating Kathmandu’s busy streets. The itinerary was well-organised and every stop offered something unique and beautiful. Whether you’re travelling solo or with others, this tour is the perfect way to discover the best of Kathmandu in one day.
Royal Squares and temples, 5 stars!

5.00We took the 7 UNESCO sites tour with our guide Sajina, who was prompt,knowledgeable, considerate, and professional. Our driver was safe and careful. We had a great time, but I think 7 sites is too much for one day. Some of us had already seen the Monkey temple so we skipped that and spent more time at Durbar square. Sajina was flexible and understanding. Overall, 5 stars!

5.00What a wonderful way to experience so many different locations in one day x for those who truly wish to explore the dates, the 4 site visit gives you more time, this is more of a whistle stop tour but Summit our guide was so knowledgeable we left feeling we had learnt as much as there was to know! A fabulous day and Summit was a wonderful guide 5*
