            A One-Day Exploration!

            I recently had the amazing opportunity to take a full guided tour of Kathmandu, Nepal, where I visited seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. The city, known for its stunning Newar temple architecture and rich Hindu and Buddhist heritage, is full of vibrant energy.

            My guide, Siri, was exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, truly embodying the local spirit. His detailed descriptions of each site greatly enhanced the experience. My driver was also very friendly and welcoming!

            The tour allowed me to explore major attractions like Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa (the Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa, among others. Each site was distinct and offered a unique historical perspective, making the tour engaging and memorable.

            I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kathmandu, especially for those wanting to see multiple UNESCO sites in a short amount of time, especially with a professional and friendly guide like Siri!
