Kathmandu Tour

Himalaya seen during 5 days Kathmandu tour with hiking.

Kathmandu Tour is a combination of cultural sightseeing, Himalayan scenery, and hiking or a short trek. The lush hills on the outskirts provide ground for Himalayan sightseeing and a short and scenic cultural trek.
The Kathmandu valley, with an area of 257 sq. miles, is the cultural center of Nepal. In the backstreets of the bustling city, Newars still solemnize their age-old mystic festivals in the premises of medieval palaces and temples. Kathmandu has over 130 nationally recognized monuments, with groups of 7 making Kathmandu a UNESCO Heritage site. The city that stayed aloof to the change that the world had gone through, has a lot to tell from Tantric eroticism to Hippies’ marijuana adventure.

Kathmandu tour could be customized for 2 days - 5 days with cultural immersion opportunities, homestay, old town walks and short trek around Kathmandu. Be in Kathmandu for amazing festivals and participate with locals.

Shivaratri - the night of Shiva
Be in Kathmandu for the Shivaratri, the night of Shiva on 15th February.
Hundreds of Sadhus (holy men) gather around the Pashupatinath temple and involve themselves in meditation, singing devotional songs, and performing ascetic practices around the bonfires. Devotees visit the Shiva temple in the morning and perform cultural events around bonfires in every square of Kathmandu. Cannabis is also seen consumed by Shadus as well as devotees as a gift of Shiva, which is believed to aid in achieving a deeper meditative state closer to Shiva. Festivals of Nepal

Weather for Kathmandu tour in summer / monsoon 2025

As winter promises sunny days with clear skies and minimal rainfall, it is the best time for a Kathmandu valley tour. The average temperature ranges between 20 °C to 0 °C, which is moderate and comfortable for sightseeing and hiking. Be prepared for chilly mornings and evenings by packing warm clothing.

Defenitely would recommend to go with guys from Itour Nepal. I had 4 intensive days and great time exploring locations around Kathmandu valley. I would suggest to include night at monastery, food at local farm, homestay. And don’t forget to try a homemade whisky at some point :) We managed to catch the Himalayas for a moment at 5AM during the raining season. After all that was like a trip with old good friend full of intresting talks and stories. - - Finland
