For those on a business trip, conference or volunteering, there are ample outdoor activities or weekend trips in and around Kathmandu.

The seven groups of medieval Newari architecture together make Kathmandu a UNESCO Heritage site. A day tour of Kathmandu gives a good perspective into the cultural life, spiritualism and history of civilization across the Himalayas. The Shivapuri National Park and other lush hills make a perfect day hike or short trek for the weekend in Kathmandu. The glacial Rivers like Trishuli and Bhotekoshi make great White-water rafting day trips or weekend rafting trips with camping both for beginners and veteran rafters.
