Explore Kathmandu: Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, and Patan Durbar Square, Kathmandu
Overview
This day fits quite a bit in—helpful for maximizing your time in Kathmandu—but doesn't overload you with too many sites. You can spend as much time as you like at each temple (this is a private tour just for you), although most people tend to spend an hour. For lunch, you'll stop at one of our recommended local restaurants.
