1. How to Plan Kathmandu Travel
Tribhuvan Airport of east suburb Kathmandu is the only international airport in Nepal. Thus, Kathmandu - the capital and biggest city is always chosen as the first destination of Nepal tour. Generally, four days are recommended to explore the highlights of Kathmandu Valley. In the first day, you will be picked up by our tour guide and sent to hotel for a rest, and get a “Welcome Dinner” in the evening. Then you visit landmarks and major spots in Kathmandu, like Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple, Pashupatinath Temple, etc in the next two days. Finally you depart to take flight back home or you extend Kathmandu tour to Pokhara or Chitwan, or any other popular destination you like in Nepal with longer days.
2. Pack Advice on Kathmandu Tour

Visitors in rainy season don’t forget to bring raingears (umbrella, raincoat, etc), and should take warm clothes in winter days or in the evening, high-altitude places. If you travel to Kathmandu in dry seasons with moderate climate, just dress light and ready clothing of summer and autumn. Trekking equipment including jackets and shoes should be prepares in advance or bought in market of Kathmandu.
