The adventure
Kathmandu is the starting point for many great hikes, but it's no slouch when it comes to its own great sights. Over three quick days, stroll through engrossing markets and temples, visit famous stupas to learn about Tibetan buddhism, and enjoy a dinner at a local Panauti homestay, a G for Good project.
Arrive at any time. This evening, take an orientation walk with the CEO exploring Patan Durbar square.
Tour Boudhnath Stupa and its surrounding markets with our CEO. The largest Stupa in Nepal, it was historically a trading place for Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims and traders. Today the area is alive with the chants of pilgrims, bustling Tibetan shops, and cafes serving authentic cuisine. After, drive to Panauti community homestay, a G Adventures–supported project. Explore the village then help our hosts cook an authentic Nepalese dinner.
Return to Kathmandu and explore the ancient capital of Bhaktapur, walking through the markets, tea stalls, wood–carved temples and vibrant squares before the tour ends at 5pm. For travellers continuing on to another G Adventures tour, your CEO will help facilitate the joining of the new group starting in the evening.
