Historical tour of the city of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur brings you through the attractions of Nepal’s oldest cities, as well as through the richness of Nepal’s heritage, where you will be conscious of how Nepal’s architects have created such unique and majestic monuments that come under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites category. Traveling all the official sites such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Syambhunath, Boudhnath and Pashupatinath, you’ll be fascinated and keep their distinction in mind that looks beyond your limits and that loves to highlight the difference between the historic monuments of Nepal and the historic monuments of Egypt and Venice.
In addition, the popular tour of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur continues to include a lookout called Nagarkot providing a scenic view of the mountains like Everest. It also provides a magnificent view of sunrise and sunset on top of that. This perspective seems to be readily and simply designed for you to have an up-close view of rolling hills, middle valleys and snow-capped mountains, based on your needs.
Nagarkot is located near Kathmandu, so for a non-trekker this is the right choice because he or she is always taking advantage of this geographical location and willing to spend their time on the northeast ridge of the Kathmandu Valley. Frankly speaking, these mountains are shown to you by Nagarkot: Everest, Lakpa Dorje, and Gaurishankar, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang ranges. Above all, it seems like a non-mystical thing that’s going on with you. Turns out to you, the best thing in the mountains is to be swallowed up without trekking. Nagarkot, tiny in the region, is the best place to hang out, and one day it’s more than exploring.
The historical tour of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur, an ambulation of nature and historical monuments, enhances your simple travel needs.
