5 days in Kathmandu Itinerary

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.

Let the collections at Patan Museum and Narayanhiti Palace Museum capture your imagination. Visit Boudhanath Stupa and Shree Pashupatinath Temple - Gwola Mahadyo for their historical value. Make the 29th (Sat) a memorable day with a climbing tour. There's much more to do: indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, identify plant and animal life at Wildlife Areas, get engrossed in the history at Taragaon Museum, and hunt for treasures at Asan.

To see other places to visit, more things to do, ratings, and more tourist information, go to the Kathmandu day trip site.

If you are flying in from India, the closest major aiport is Tribhuvan International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 34°C in June, and nighttime lows around 22°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 2nd (Tue) early enough to travel back home.
