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.

5.00Enjoyed seeing all the different sites and the great stories from the guide. Lunch isn’t much so I’d recommend getting some traditional Nepali cuisine at one of the stops. Make sure to bring Nepali cash. Overall, fun time.

5.00Summit was a friendly, as well as an excellent, knowledgable guide. He was liked by all 6 participants, and 5 of them wanted him to guide them the following day, but I had other things booked. He takes care of all participants, young and old. I would certainly recommend him!

Places like these temples, the great stupa, so much confluence of people and various religions. Sajina, I am extremely grateful for your explanations, your patience and dedication to answer the 10000 questions I asked you and for telling us so much with such passion. You are one of the best guides I have ever met and my experience was 10/10. Thank you!!!

5.00Efficient and well organized tour. Was able to get through a lot of sites without feeling short shafted and as someone who works through visits more quickly, this is was the right overall pacing for me but could be a lot for others who prefer more time at each site. Summit our guide provided insightful and pertinent commentary that enhanced our understanding of each site. He was also professional at all points, even with a few tricky other guests who were on the tour.
Excellent tour - Sumit is a great guide !

5.00Amazing tour and the guide Sumit was excellent in explaining all historical significance of each site. He was also very accommodating to all. If you only have 1 day in Kathmandu I highly recommend this tour as you get to see all the main attractions.
