Historically, the Kathmandu Valley and adjacent areas were known as Nepal Mandala. Until the 15th century, Bhaktapur was its capital, as two other capitals, Kathmandu and Lalitpur

Kathmandu:

Kathmandu Tour can provide an authentic opportunity to trace the history of Nepal. The Malla era's medieval place was ruled by numerous dynasties, an enchanting architectural masterpiece, colorful culture, and historical shrines listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the whole city, and the preserved city of tourism. Kathmandu city is named after Kasthamandap temple, which was located in Durbar Square. In Sanskrit, Kastha means "wood," and Mandap means "covered shelter." This temple, also known as Maru Satta: in the Newar language, was built in 1596 by Biseth during King Laxmi Narsingh Malla. The two-story structure was made entirely of wood and used no nails or iron supports. According to legend, all the wood for constructing the pagoda was obtained from a single tree.

Pokhara: Pokhara is a place of outstanding natural beauty and the second-largest city in Nepal. It is located at an altitude of 827 meters above sea level and 210 km west of the Kathmandu Valley. This charming town has several beautiful lakes and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks. The lakes' tranquillity and the Himalayas' splendour towering behind create an atmosphere of peace and magic. This valley is the most famous gateway to the world-famous trekking areas of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and the most beautiful places for paragliding

Lumbini: Lumbini is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Buddhists in all of South Asia. Lumbini is the site of the famous Kushinagar-Sarnath-Kapilvastu-Shravasti Buddhist circuit in the Terai region. Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, holds an extraordinary place in Buddhists' hearts around the world. Lumbini is the only Buddhist place revered by followers of the Hinayana and Mahayana sects of Buddhism. Lumbini at a glance is an informative guide that will provide you with various facts and figures about Lumbini. 

Chitwan National Park: It is most chosen by those who want to have a great wildlife safari experience during the Chitwan jungle safari tour. The park covers 932 square kilometres and consists of the Churia hills, lakes, and floodplains of the Rapti, Narayani, and Reu rivers. There are several ways to explore Chitwan.

Pashupatinath: 

Pashupatinath Temple is a sacred Hindu temple that serves as Nepal's national deity, Lord Shiva (one of Hinduism's main Gods, where Pashupatinath or Pashupati is one of his given names). Being the oldest Hindu temple in the city, you will find a great mix of temples, ashrams (spiritual monasteries), images, and inscriptions from the moment you set foot in this place.

Boudhanath: Dominating the Kathmandu skyline, this is a famous stupa which is one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal with its massive mandala, a spiritual symbol in Buddhism. It is helpful to know that it has been a beacon of the Buddhist faith for centuries and has since been an important place of meditation and pilgrimage for many Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhists.

Swayambhunath: Swayambhu Nath Stupa is a very popular temple in Kathmandu Valley for Buddhists and Hindus. Swayambhunath Stupa is also known as the "Monkey Temple" because you can see hundreds of monkeys around. Swayambhunath's followers including Hindus, Buddhists from northern Nepal and Tibet, and Newari Buddhists from southern Nepal and central. Every morning, before dawn, hundreds of pilgrims ascend the 365 steps leading up the hill.

According to legend, the lotus mysteriously emitted a bright light, and the name of the place became Swayambhu, meaning "self-created or self-existing." Bodhisattva Manjusri came to a beautiful lake on his journey. He saw a lotus radiating a bright light in the middle of the lake, so he opened a gorge on a southern hill and drained the water to worship the lotus. The lotus then turned into a mountain, and the light became the Swayabhunath Stupa. People settled on the bottom of the lake and called it Kathmandu Valley. Since then, the top of the hill of the self-existent Lord has been a holy place.

Kathmandu Durbar Square: "Durbar Square" is a common name used to describe the places in front of Nepa's former royal palaces. In particular, Kathmandu Durbar Square is surrounded by spectacular architecture that showcases Newar artists' skills (historical residents of the Kathmandu Valley) for centuries.

FAQs

The best time to travel to Nepal is between mid-September and December when the skies are clear and blue and spectacular. The weather remains dry until about April, with temperatures varying by region. January and February can be freezing, especially at night.


3-4 days

How much time do you need in Kathmandu? 3-4 days is enough time to explore the chaotic streets, visit some of the most famous temples, indulge in Nepalese cuisine, haggle in the stores, and of course, get a taste of the Nepalese way of life.

Nepal is known as the famous outdoor sports destination par excellence, offering a wide range of sports such as climbing, canyoning, zip-lining, etc. Probably the most challenging sport is skydiving from Mount Everest and landing in the highest place in the world.

Kathmandu is generally an extremely safe city. Feel free to stroll around the city on your own at any time of day. Be careful walking alone outside of Thamel at night, but you will find that the night walks are as safe as they are surreal within the well-lit tourist area.

Incredible family trip in Nepal

We had a great time in Nepal. Together with my family, we visited back and forth from Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, and Chitwan. One of my friends from Germany recommended who had already done Everest base camp trek with Nepal Tour and trekking service P. Ltd. We booked our tour almost in the last hour and moved. When we met Mr. Kishor, he explained everything about our tour program. It was an incredible moment for my family because we saw Everest for the first time with our own eyes. We continuously visited Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, and Chitwan.

During our visit, we enjoyed exploring many Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas, an ancient palace, beautiful views of the Pokhara Mountains, magnificent lakes, historical places, cultural facts, friendly people, some wild animals in Chitwan National Park, etc. Mr. Rudra was our guide throughout the tour. He was a professional and knowledgeable guide. Nothing was a problem, and we enjoyed every moment in Nepal. Thanks again to all the team for organizing a great trip to Nepal for my family. Of course, I will recommend this travel agency to my friends who are visiting Nepal.

Awarded Tourism Company in Nepal

Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd organized our 10-day trip to Nepal in November 2017 for 15 people. The company took excellent care of all the travel arrangements and sent two of the partners on the journey with us to make sure everything went smoothly. Nothing was a problem, and everyone on the trip thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The bus and hotels were very friendly and luxurious for all locations.

We would use them again to organize future trips to Nepal.

He provided us with a good-condition cab, an excellent driver, and good guides throughout the trip and arranged excellent hotels for us where we could eat sleep well. He made sure we were well taken care of and gave his all Personal touch. They are very professional, and I would recommend them without hesitation to visit Nepal with them. Many thanks' to Nepal Tour and Trekking service P. Ltd and their team.
