Overview
This tour begins in Thamel, where we set off towards this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On the way, we’ll stop at the revered Naradevi Temple, known for its spiritual significance, and visit Washa Deu, the toothache deity steeped in fascinating local beliefs.
Once at Kathmandu Durbar Square, we’ll wander through its timeless museums and monuments, learning about the vibrant history of Nepal. Marvel at the architectural brilliance of the Malla Kings, the legacy of the Shah Dynasty, the opulence of the Rana Regime, and the journey towards modern democracy, all preserved within these historic walls.
During the visit, we’ll witness the incredible Newar culture that flourishes in the square and take a moment to receive blessings from the Living Goddess Kumari, who graces us from her sacred window.
This tour offers an immersive experience of Kathmandu's rich heritage, blending spirituality, history, and artistry into one unforgettable journey.
Entrance to Durbar Square (NRP 1000 about US$ 9) has to be paid in cash at the entrance. Donation to the Living Goddess: we recommend to pay minimum of NRP 100 as a donation to the Royal Kumari.
