Day Day 1: Welcome to Kathmandu !!!

Flying into Kathmandu, you'll have views over the valley, the Himalaya, and the terraced fields below. After completing customs, a representative will be waiting to greet you outside the airport and to guide you through the initial culture shock of Kathmandu’s narrow, winding streets to your hotel.

Once you've settled in, head out and explore the city. Kathmandu Durbar Square is a great place to start your exploration, where you'll walk through narrow alleyways teeming with small shops, ancient temples, and local restaurants. If you want to stretch your legs, Swayambhunath, the white stupa rising above the valley, is the perfect spot to catch the sunset over the valley.

In the evening, the tourist hub of Thamel is a good place to grab your first meal, with a variety of restaurants to chose from offering both Western and local Nepali dishes.
Overnight: Kathmandu

Day Day 2: Drive one hour to the put-in point near Last Resort. Raft for 3 hours. Lunch at the riverside. Drive back to Kathmandu.

Day Day 3: Kathmandu Sightseeing: Kathmandu Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square

After breakfast at your hotel, you'll be picked up by an English-speaking guide for a full-day tour of the Kathmandu Valley, visiting two sacred sites: Patan Durbar square, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Kathmandu Durbar Square
This public space houses an eclectic mix of architectural styles, from the sixteenth-century pagoda temples to the early twentieth-century neo-classical Gadi Durbar Palace. It’s particularly atmospheric in the evenings when locals come to worship at the temples. The square suffered severe damage during the 2015 earthquake but is slowly being restored. Don't forget to stop at the "House of the Living Goddess" where the virgin goddess known as Kumari resides, and sometimes appears in one of the exquisitely carved windows of the upper floor.

Patan Durbar Square
The Durbar Square is a marvel of Newar architecture. The square floor is tiled with red bricks.[1] There are many temples and idols in the area. The main temples are aligned opposite of the western face of the palace.[2] The entrance of the temples faces east, towards the palace. There is also a bell situated in the alignment beside the main temples.[3] The Square also holds old Newari residential houses. There are other temples and structures in and around Patan Durbar Square built by the Newa People.

Day Day 4: Depart Kathmandu

It's time to say farewell to Nepal. Enjoy your last moments in Kathmandu with breakfast in a café, a final stroll through the narrow alleys and temples, and some final souvenir shopping. A driver will be waiting for you at your hotel to take you to the airport for your return flight home. It's best to be at the airport at least two hours prior to departure.
