10 days in Kathmandu Itinerary

Once synonymous with the mysterious and inaccessible Shangri-La, today Kathmandu draws an ever-increasing number of tourists, catering to independent travelers of various budgets.

Get some historical perspective at Nyatapola Temple and Namo Buddha Temple. Get in touch with nature at Safaris and Parasailing & Paragliding. Get out of town with these interesting Kathmandu side-trips: Thrangu Tashi Monastery (in Dhulikhel), Indreshwar Mahadev Temple (in Panauti) and Bhaktapur (55 Window Palace, Til Mahadev Narayan Mandir, &more). Spend the 4th (Fri) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. And it doesn't end there: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Budhanilkantha, admire the landmark architecture of Hanuman Dhoka, soothe aching muscles at some of the top local wellness centers, and appreciate the history behind Kala Bairav.
