Nepal, Kathmandu, there is nothing quite like the culture of the Kathmandu Valley. It is an ancient mix of spirituality and history. Here the major Eastern religions come together to form a unique synergy as Hinduism and Buddhist unite. In the Triple 1 Day Treat, this unique spirituality and history come alive as you visit in one day three of the most influential UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
This includes Kathmandu’s Durbar Square, the beautiful Patan Durbar Square with its amazing art, Swayambhunath (aka Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, the largest Buddhist stupa and Pashupatinath, the holiest Hindu site in all of Nepal. This is a one day tour that allows you to really explore the unique combination of spirituality as well as the ancient history that spans nearly 1000 years.

What To Expect
Swaymbhunath
Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the holy ground which is equally important for the Buddhist and Hindu communities. Listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Nepal, the stupa is also called “The Monkey Temple”. You can see many monkeys roaming freely in the periphery of the temple. The main attractions of the Swayambhunath is a large dome on the top of a tree-covered hill, many large statues of Buddha around the hill, a thunder scepter (Vajra), and many shrines, gravestones, temples on the hill, offering places, and souvenir shops. You can explore the base of the hill which contains a perfect walkway and see the Hindu temples side by side with the Buddhist shrines and main stupa in harmony. Then you will head in the course of the western boundary of the Swayambhunath. You will see a sacred pond where people throw away coins for fun. Vendors are everywhere around the region with many Thanka arts and gorgeous souvenirs. On reaching the western side, big statues of Buddha can be found. You then will walk around the hill and find many prayers wheels of special sizes almost in every section around the mountain.
Amideva Buddha Park
Right near the hill where Swayambhunath temple is located, you can see a park that has three large statues of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is the Amidevi Buddha Park that is a small hangout place but very beautiful with glistening golden statues of Buddha and attractive attire in the periphery.

This is a “must do” tour while in Kathmandu. Be prepared for an immersion and valuable lessons in Nepal’s cultural.

5.00Tej my guide taught me so much. There is a difference in education of reading and of experiencing. This tour shows you a good level of knowledge of religion and culture and how they evolved here in Nepal.
Great experience in Kathmandu

5.00The tour was fantastic, from the beginning in the temple of monkeys to the end in the crematoriums of the river Bagmati. Our guide Shanti, was very friendly and worried about every detail, even taking the best photos. Fully recommended for those with little time in Kathmandu, Namaste !!!
Om Shanti Shanti!

5.00If I could put here 100 stars instead of 5, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Shanti, your guide on 7 Heritage UNESCO trip - is a star herself. Professional, polite, attentive, service-minded, smart and knowledgeable, I was so lucky to have her on my first day in Kathmandu. It’s worth every penny you pay for your private tour. I felt so welcome and safe during the whole day, this matters for solo travelers! It’s a lot of information to digest at once but at the same time it’s the best way to see all in one if you are limited in time and your guide will make sure you don’t get too tired or bored, always checking on you and leading with good pace. Shanti took great care of myself and my needs, and I’m very grateful she was my guide in creating all those amazing memories. Visiting Nepal was my dream since a while and this tour showed me so many reasons to fall in love with Nepalese culture. Thank you guys for this smooth experience, special thanks to Shanti!
Amazing! Helped us learn a ton in a short time.

5.00Sarita was simply incredible. She's clearly a passionate scholar of Nepali history, and was able to answer every question we had in great detail. She's also a fun hang! We really enjoyed spending two days with her and soaking up her knowledge of Kathmandu and it's incredibly intricate history. She was kind and flexible and able to respond to our different levels of comfort with different things at whatever time. We highly recommend booking with Himalayan Advisor but especially Sarita!
Well informed guides

5.00We had such a great time during our short stay in Kathmandu. Our guide Shanthi greeted us early in the morning and took us to see all the unesco sites. She gave us a clear history of Nepal and highlighted the important architectural significance of the symbols used in the Hindu and bhuddist temples. The views were obscured by the fog on the day but we had a most enjoyable time on our tour.
We saw just about everything in Kathmandu.

5.00We saw just about everything in Kathmandu on this private tour. Shanti, our tour guide was knowledgeable on all the sites. This was all new to us so it was a lot of information to absorb. We even locked out and we say the Kumari. We got pamphlets at each destination so we can go back and match up pictures and names. Take plenty of water with you and maybe a snack. It can be a long day. We were gone from 9am -6pm.
Excellent Tour and Guide

5.00I did this on my own as I'd have never been able to get to all the place, especially in one day. My guide Shanti Karki was professional, friendly and full of information. We saw so much, even the royal Kumari! The driver was excellent, too. All in all a great and very well-organised tour which Is fully recommend!

5.00Shanti was wonderful! She was so flexible and accommodating to all of my needs. She worked much later than I think she was expecting but never complained. She is very knowledgeable but also personable. She was patient with me while I shopped and never made me feel rushed. I highly recommend Shanti!
Amazingly detailed tour!
