Sometimes the best things to see and do in Kathmandu are not in the center of the capital city. On the Kathmandu Valley Rim one day tour, a journey to four unique and inspiring places in the southeastern part of the Kathmandu Valley.

The city of Bhaktapur, as well as the beautiful village of Changu Narayan, features ancient temples, incredible carvings, and flagstone streets. The entire communities have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites because of their uniqueness in history, religion, and culture.

In addition, you will be taken to the rarely visited, but truly inspiring village of Panauti were a series of temples and ancient artwork line the banks at the confluence of three rivers (including a sacred, underground river). Also on the tour is a stop at Kailashnath, the world’s tallest Shiva statue at 44 m/143 feet! These places are not crowded, and truly an enlightening experience.

What To Expect

Changu Narayan Temple

Prepare to step back in time. This guided visit takes you to Changu Narayan, the oldest Hindu temple in the Kathmandu Valley, perched on a scenic hilltop. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 4th-century marvel is a living museum of priceless stone, wood, and metal carvings from the Licchavi dynasty. This temple isn't just a historic site; it's a sacred guardian. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan), it is the chief of the "four Narayans" (Char Narayan), the ancient temples that stand in the four cardinal directions to form a spiritual shield protecting the entire valley. From its stunning temple courtyard, you’ll also be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valley and, on clear days, a glimpse of the distant Himalayan peaks. Don't miss this essential piece of Nepal's heritage.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Step into a living museum! This guided tour takes you to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the best-preserved of the Kathmandu Valley's three royal cities and a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Your guide will lead you through a maze of red-brick courtyards to discover its most famous icons: the magnificent 55-Window Palace, the stunning Golden Gate, and the five-story Nyatapola Temple, Nepal's tallest pagoda. But the magic doesn't stop there. This visit also includes the nearby Pottery Square, where you'll see local artisans practicing their centuries-old craft. This is your chance to be fully immersed in authentic Newari culture, surrounded by intricate wood carvings, historic palaces, and timeless traditions.

    We spent an amaxing day visiting Panauti, Bhaktapur and Changu Narayan. Our guide Pankaj gave us a lot of information on the sites and Hindu religion and culture in general, and answered all our questions. The day was well-paced, and all arrangements and communications were smooth and effortless. I can sincerely recommend this tour.
