In the afternoon, you’ll set out on a guided tour of this vibrant city, taking in famous sights like the sacred and UNESCO-listed Pashupatinath Temple. The following day you’ll stop by the hill-top ‘Monkey Temple’, one of the oldest shrines in the world, and take a rickshaw ride around the historic Durbar Square. Finish your time in Kathmandu with some retail therapy in the shopping district of Thamel.
