Overview

Discover the two most beautiful royal cities of the Kathmandu Valley on this private full-day tour with your own licensed guide and private car. In Patan (Lalitpur), the "City of Fine Arts", wander through Patan Durbar Square with its stone Krishna Mandir, the gilded Golden Temple and the Patan Museum, one of Asia's finest collections of sacred art. In the afternoon continue to Bhaktapur, the best-preserved medieval city in Nepal, where the 55-Window Palace, the five-storey Nyatapola Temple and Potters' Square bring the Malla era to life. Both squares are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Your guide shares the stories, legends and craftsmanship behind each monument, and there is time to taste Bhaktapur's famous juju dhau (king curd) and browse for handicrafts. Hotel pickup and drop-off, all entrance fees and bottled water are included – all you need to do is enjoy the day at your own pace.

  • Patan Durbar Square
    Start in Patan (Lalitpur), the "City of Fine Arts", just south of Kathmandu across the Bagmati River. Your guide walks you through Patan Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the stone Krishna Mandir built in 1637 by King Siddhi Narsingh Malla, the Bhimsen Temple and the royal palace courtyards with the famous Golden Window. Visit the Patan Museum, one of the finest collections of Hindu and Buddhist sacred art in Asia, and the gilded Golden Temple (Hiranya Varna Mahavihar). On the way you can see metal workers in their workshops casting statues using techniques passed down for generations.
  • Bhaktapur Durbar Square
    Drive about 45 minutes east to Bhaktapur (1,401 m), the best-preserved medieval city of the valley and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enter Bhaktapur Durbar Square to see the Golden Gate, the 55-Window Palace and the stone Vatsala Temple. Then walk to Taumadhi Square for the five-storey Nyatapola Temple (1702), the tallest pagoda in Nepal, and the Bhairavnath Temple, and on to Potters' Square, where clay pots dry in the sun. Before you leave, taste juju dhau (king curd), the creamy yogurt Bhaktapur is famous for.
