Nar Phu Valley Trek

Today in the morning one of our representatives will arrive and collect your required documents to make the required permits and cards. Then after breakfast, you'll get ready and excited to explore the heritage sites of the city. It will take us nearly half a day to complete the tour in the valley. Primarily on this trip, we will travel to 4 historical sites that are enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage sites. The main destinations of the trip will include Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, Swoyambhunath, and Pashupatinath Temple. As an alternative to another place, you could opt for Patan Durbar Square.

Finally, after exploring these locations, we will head back to our office to get our clothes and gear ready. We will hand you (a sleeping bag, and a down jacket if you need them), but you'll have to give them back after the trek is over. After the preparation is over, you may chill out and make use of the remaining time at one of the nearby cafés or eateries. Overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.
