There was once a time when Kathmandu was called the city of Gods and Goddesses because there were nearly as many statues and temples as people and houses. It’s been decades since this happened. However, the Kathmandu Valley is still a spiritually and culturally rich city. The city of Kathmandu is full of historically significant pagoda-style temples and venerable stupas from the medieval era. Visiting some of these places, you might feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to 500 years.

In those days, Kathmandu was known as Kantipur, and it is said that people were living behind the walls of these temples. The interesting thing is that still today, we can see the relatively unchanged lifestyle, cultures, and fascinating festivals of the local people. Many different kinds of festivals are celebrated every year in Kathmandu. With a little luck (or proper planning), you will be able to see one of these colorful, exciting festive celebrations. Especially in Kathmandu Durbar Square, it seems as if every few days there is a different ritual celebration. It is a highly energetic place for those who can feel the energy.

Our Kathmandu City Tour package includes some of the major places in one day that are listed on the World UNESCO heritage sites. Day Tours Nepal is a premier day trip planner in Nepal. We are here to not only show you the things written in all tourist guidebooks, but we go beyond and share in-depth stories of these heritage sites and new memorable experiences with you.
