See seven UNESCO sites in Kathmandu Valley in one full day, with hotel pickup, guide, transport, optional entrance fees, and Nepali lunch.

“Had a fabulous day with Anon in Kathmandu. Great guide accommodating all requests, very knowledgeable and good companion! I did not do justice to Kathmandu trying to cover all 7 UNESCO sites in one day - probably worth 2-3 days - but Anon was very generous with his time, and we went well into the evening to meaningfully cover the itinerary. Krishna, our driver had been great too, very safe and careful transfer around the city. Has learnt a lot about culture, architecture, people, food, religion. A well balanced trip! Highly recommended.”
