Kathmandu itinerary examples
A one-day heritage outing can focus on Kathmandu’s old city. A longer city stay leaves room for a separate visit to Swayambhu or Boudha. Treat these as itinerary examples when comparing independent operators.
Comparing a city tour with a valley tour
Compare a city itinerary with a valley itinerary that includes Patan or Bhaktapur. Ask which transfers, guides and entrance fees are covered and how much time is allocated at each stop.
Which Kathmandu package is right for you?
01
One-day city tour
Best when your time is limited and you want several major sites with transport arranged.
02
Two-day Kathmandu tour
Allows the old city and eastern sacred sites to be split more comfortably.
03
Kathmandu Valley package
Adds places such as Patan or Bhaktapur rather than treating them as central-city stops.
04
Custom Kathmandu trip
Useful when mobility, family needs, photography, food or particular religious interests change the ideal route.
City versus valley
Kathmandu city and Kathmandu Valley are not interchangeable.
A package including Patan, Bhaktapur or Changu Narayan is a wider valley trip and should say so clearly.
What should be included?
Confirm:
vehicle
driver
guide
heritage fees
meals
water
hotel
airport transfer
taxes/service charges
Before booking
Check how much walking is required.
Ask whether stairs or uneven paving affect any traveller.
Confirm photography and sacred-site etiquette with the guide.
Check current entrance fees.
Your comparison checklist
When comparing operators, consider your:
dates
number of travellers
hotel location
interests
walking comfort
languages required
day-trip preferences
Ask the provider to confirm the hotel, transport, total cost and cancellation terms for your dates in writing.
