Overnight at Kathmandu
Today is a relaxing day as you explore the Kathmandu Valley. It is a full-day tour that includes stops at Basantapur Durbar Square, the Monkey Temple, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath.
Because one day is insufficient to see all of the lovely sights, you will only tour the prominent UNESCO Heritage sites of Kathmandu. But, you can add an extra day or two following the trek to explore the Kathmandu valley for an additional fee..
The first stop after breakfast is Kathmandu Durbar Square. In ancient times, this was the palace of the Shah and Malla monarchs. However, it is today a popular tourist destination with a temple dedicated to the living goddess (kumari), a museum, and other attractions.
