Make the 20th (Sat) a memorable day with a climbing tour. Make the 22nd (Mon) an unforgettable day with an extreme tour. There's much more to do: take in the local highlights with Walking tours, take in the spiritual surroundings of Boudhanath Stupa, relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, and make a trip to Kathmandu Durbar Square.
