Amazing UNESCO Sites in Kathmandu - Arriving early in the morning to Patan Durbar Square was magical - watching the locals give their daily offerings and make prayers before their workdays began. Our guide, Roshan, brought all the history and symbolism to life for us! We saw all 7 sites and each one was remarkable.

Nice and efficient way to visit 4 UNESCO sights in KTM - We could visit 4 UNESCO sights privately in Kathmandu. This private tour saved our time and we could visit the most important sights very efficiently. In Kathmandu there are quite bad traffic so it was very good do tour with a small car not tour bus.
