18 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Bhaktapur (55 Window Palace, Bhaktapur Durbar Square - www.nepaltourpackage.com, &more) and Langtang National Park (Kyanjin Ri & Langtang Valley). Spend the 23rd (Wed) exploring nature at Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. There's still lots to do: take in the local highlights with Walking tours, take in the spiritual surroundings of Shree Pashupatinath Temple - Gwola Mahadyo, contemplate the long history of Kathmandu Durbar Square, and get outside with Outdoor Activities.
