How we would plan Kathmandu

Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu

Arrive, meet your driver and check in. Keep the first evening light: a walk around Thamel in Kathmandu, dinner and an early night.

Day 2: Pashupatinath + Boudhanath Stupa + Swayambhunath

Pickup from your hotel after breakfast; the stops follow each other by distance, so less time goes in traffic. Dinner: indian food is everywhere; Nepali dal bhat is vegetarian friendly.

Day 3: Bhaktapur Durbar Square + Everest mountain flight

An early start beats the crowds and the midday heat; lunch is on the way. If you like shopping: Thamel in Kathmandu for pashmina, singing bowls and trekking gear; Lakeside in Pokhara for handicrafts.

Day 4: Departure

Breakfast, check out and transfer for your flight or onward journey.

If you have more or less time: 2 nights: about ₹7,500 to ₹13,500 per person; 5 nights: about ₹15,000 to ₹27,000 per person (land cost, flights extra).

Price of 3 nights in Kathmandu, worked out
