A Private nepal Tour – Kathmandu valley

Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is one of the world’s oldest cities. The old part of the city, with narrow medieval streets and lovely little shrines, centers on the Durbar Square. Here one can find distinctive pagoda-roofed temples, stone sculptures, old monasteries and historic monuments.

Nestled in the lap of snow mountains, the verdant Kathmandu Valley abounds in archaic temples, shrines and palaces that reflect its glory of the bygone era. Colorful Kathmandu encompasses old Asian legacy with seven Cultural Heritage Sites: four art-excelling temples and three residential palaces of ancient Royals. The Valley is situated at 1,336 meters above sea level and comprises three cities, Lalitpur, Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, within its parameters. With its many facades, Kathmandu is a true little city of wonder for its visitors.
