Best Day Tours in Kathmandu

Rating: 5 out of 5.

The hectic pace of life in Nepal’s hustling city of Kathmandu is frequently overpowering. Everyone is searching for a fast getaway from a fairly routine lifestyle, but long-distance travel is also not very practical. Travel spots that can be reached in a single day are the answer. However, you wouldn’t believe how many different tourist destinations there are in Kathmandu and the other cities, providing enough of entertainment. Do keep in mind that while “Kathmandu” refers to two separate places, they are actually two separate cities. Within the Kathmandu Valley is the city of Kathmandu. There are numerous attractions and day trips that visitors and travelers can take in both Kathmandu City and the Kathmandu Valley.

When visiting Kathmandu, you don’t have to be firmly in the “love it” or “hate it” camp. It’s simple to combine the best of both worlds by using the city as a base to explore the little towns and villages that are located nearby. Here are a few locations that are within an hour or two’s drive of Kathmandu’s downtown and would make great day trips or relaxing overnight stops.

  • Enjoy a breathtaking sunset near Nagarkot:

Why go: Nagarkot is a renowned location to observe the sunrise and sunset above the Himalaya, which is an amazing Nepal experience. Even if it’s not exactly undiscovered, the fact that there are many places to dine and stay as you take in the surroundings makes it a simple and relaxing area to spend a night or two. What to see: In addition to the dawn and sunset, which are best viewed on a clear autumn or winter day from your hotel room or the lookout tower, there are some additional sights in and around the town. Visit the Peace Garden’s huge golden Buddha statue and take a hike to a nearby waterfall. How to get there: Nagarkot is located just outside the Kathmandu Valley’s eastern border. Although a bus can take you there, you must change at Bhaktapur. Most tourists choose to take a private transfer so they may see the natural light displays of the day before spending the remainder of the day in Nagarkot.

  • Experience the Buddhist Way of Life at the Stupas:

Believe it or not, Nepal is mostly a Hindu nation with only 10% of the population being Buddhist, despite the predominance of Buddhism in its culture and architecture. See, Hindus began to view Buddha as an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu many years ago, thus for them it’s completely acceptable to be both a Hindu AND a Buddhist. Buddhism is more like a philosophy or way of life than an organized religion. The two most impressive stupas in Kathmandu are Boudhanath, the largest and most majestic stupa in all of Nepal, and Swayambhunath, also known as Monkey Temple because to the monkeys that live there.
