Three temples, one day, and a lot to feel. This full-day Kathmandu Valley combo is built for real local sights, from cave and shrine stops in Pharping to the pilgrimage draw of Dakshinkali and the hilltop heritage of Kirtipur. I…
Kathmandu in one day can sound like a lot to cram. This Kathmandu Sightseeing By Bus Day Trip works anyway, because you stack the big spiritual stops with a simple group bus plan. I like that it’s built for value,…
