Once synonymous with the mysterious and inaccessible Shangri-La, today Kathmandu draws an ever-increasing number of tourists, catering to independent travelers of various budgets.

Explore Kathmandu's surroundings by going to Bhaktapur (Nyatapola Temple & Siddhi Lakshmi Temple). On the 14th (Fri), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Make the 19th (Wed) an unforgettable day with an extreme tour. The adventure continues: take in the spiritual surroundings of Swayambhunath Temple, don't miss a visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square, get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, and relax and float downstream with a rafting and tubing tour.
