3 Days in Kathmandu: Best UNESCO Sites & Nagarkot Sunrise

Kathmandu isn’t just a place to tick off a map; it’s a living story. In three days, we want to take you beyond the busy streets to find the real soul of the valley. We’ll cover all 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but we’ll do it at a pace that actually lets you soak in the atmosphere. We’ll start with what we call the "Big Four." We’ll climb the steps to Swayambhunath just as the city begins to wake up and the monkeys gather. Later, we’ll head to Boudhanath to join the locals for their afternoon "Kora"—a peaceful walk around the stupa filled with the scent of incense. We’ll also visit Pashupatinath to see the moving evening fire rituals on the riverbanks and walk through the historic Kathmandu Durbar Square. The next day feels like stepping back in time as we explore the medieval streets of Patan and Bhaktapur. The wood carvings there are so delicate they almost look like lace. We’ll also visit Changu Narayan, the valley’s oldest hidden gem. will head nagarkot view Mt Everest .
