THE TOP 10 Kathmandu Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises (w/Prices)

Namaste! Come hungry to explore Kathmandu's culinary wonders on an immersive walking tour led by a professional licensed Tour and Trekking Guide and certified Barista. Having personally explored the diverse cuisines of India, Sri Lanka, China and Thailand, I bring a global perspective on hospitality and hygiene to every stop. I use this expertise to curate only the most exceptional eateries—hidden gems and centuries-old traditions you won’t find in any guidebook. From the aromatic spices of Asan Bazaar to the soulful street food of Thamel, we prioritize quality over quantity to ensure every bite is a safe, authentic taste of Nepal. What sets this experience apart is the sincere connection we forge. Guided by the philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava (a guest is like a god), I share the deep stories of our local vendors and the "why" behind every recipe. Join me for a meaningful cultural exchange and a journey through the heart and soul of Kathmandu. Dhanyawaad/Thank You!

Walk the ancient trade route to Kathmandu's great medieval bazaar, exploring an unusual but underrated part of the old city with Nepali writer Rabi Thapa on this self-guided GPS audio tour. Thamel, Kathmandu’s designated tourist quarter, began as a medieval site of Buddhist learning connected to the now-defunct trans-Himalayan route between India and Tibet. Your tour traces these beginnings from Sohrakhutte in north Kathmandu before passing through Bhagwan Bahal, Narsingh Chowk, Chusya Bahal, Shree Gha and the marketplace of Asan. You will visit monuments old and new, accompanied by a fantastical cast of Tibetan demons, flying stupas and tooth goddesses as well as the equally adventurous set of warrior kings, traders, artisans and hippies who made Nepal the fantastic place that it is today.
