a starting point, reshaped around your family
Day 1Arrive in Kathmandu, evening your own
Meet your driver at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is free - wander the Thamel market lanes and try a first plate of momos.
Day 2Kathmandu UNESCO temples and stupas
A full guided day: the Hindu temple of Pashupatinath on the Bagmati, the great white dome of Boudhanath, the palace courtyards of Patan Durbar Square, and the hilltop Swayambhunath stupa with its fluttering prayer flags. Time in Thamel if the day allows.
Day 3Bhaktapur and the road to Nagarkot
Drive out of the valley to Bhaktapur - the 55 Window Palace, the Golden Gate and the five-tiered Nyatapola Temple - then climb to Nagarkot. Walk up to the view tower for sunset over the Himalayan range.
Day 4Himalayan sunrise and fly home
Wake early for sunrise as the peaks turn gold, then breakfast and a private transfer down to Kathmandu airport for your flight.
