The monastery is truly superb. You can sleep there, have dinner and breakfast in the refectory with the monks and attend morning prayers in the main temple. A rich and unforgettable experience

Driver was amazing. After the monastery we took the valley drive which was spectacular then stopped at the large shiva statue. Even had a traditional Nepali lunch before driving back thru backroads to avoid major traffic. Got to see parts of Kathmandu I never would have seen and experience local neighborhoods.
