Tour of Kathmandu and 7 nearby World Heritage Sites

Tour highlights

1. We will guide you to the following 7 World Heritage sites in and around Kathmandu (in no particular order).
   
   SwayambhunathPashupatinathBoudhanathKathmandu Durbar Square + Asan DistrictPatan Durbar SquareBhaktapur Durbar SquareChang NarayanIf you are interested, we will guide you to the “Kumari House” in Patan when you visit Patan. Kumari is a living young goddess. The Kumari in Kathmandu Durbar Square is famous, but local Kumaris are not limited to Kathmandu, but exist in various areas where Newar people live. It is difficult to find a time to see the Kumari in Kathmandu, and photography is not allowed, but the Kumari in Patan accepts visitors. If you are interested, we will guide you here (no additional charge, but a donation of about 100 rupees is required)
2. You will have a higher chance of seeing the Himalayas if you spend the night at Nagarkot, a lookout point near Kathmandu at an altitude of about 2,100m.
3. On the return journey from Nagarkot to Kathmandu, if you are interested, we can include a 2.5 hour hike (at no extra charge).
4. Enjoy dinner whilst watching Nepalese folk dancing.
5. You can add on an Everest scenic flight from Kathmandu (additional cost).

What is included in the price

1. Kathmandu airport transfer upon arrival and entry into Nepal
2. Sightseeing fee for the second and third days (guide and chartered car fee)
   → The guide will be a Nepalese person with a tourist guide license. You can choose between a Japanese or English speaker. There is no difference in price depending on the language used.
   → Female guests can request a female guide, but female guides can only speak English.
   → During Japanese holidays (e.g. Golden Week, Obon, Silver Week, New Year’s holidays), there may be a shortage of Japanese-speaking guides, making it difficult to arrange them.
3. Dinner at a Nepalese restaurant (transportation included)
   → If you are staying at a hotel within walking distance of the restaurant, we will walk you there, but you will need to return to your hotel on your own.

What is not included in the price

   →　Admission fees page
3. Food and drink costs
   → If you need to take a meal break during sightseeing, we will ask you about your budget and preferences and take you to an appropriate restaurant. The guide will act separately while you are eating, but if you are kind enough to invite the guide to eat, we ask that you also cover the guide’s food and drink costs, although this may be very presumptuous of us. (You do not need to pay for the guide’s food and drink costs when they act separately during meals.)
4. Tips for guides and drivers:
   If you are active all day (about 8 hours), the estimated amount is about 1,000 rupees for the guide and 500 rupees for the driver per day.
5. Personal expenses
6. Optional Mountain Flight Additional Cost
