Day 2: Kathmandu
Exclusive inclusions: Free_time - Get out and explore exciting Kathmandu.Activity - Enjoy a guided tour of this spectacular square built primarily in the 16th and 17th centuries. Located within it are the Royal Palace and many temples built in the traditional Newari pagoda style. We also visit the Golden Temple and Patan museum. South of the square lies the Kumari Chowk, home to Nepal's living goddess, the Kumari, a prepubescent girl chosen as the incarnation of the Hindu goddess Talejn. The Kumari lives a cloistered life, rarely leaving the confines of the chowk. When she does, it is for important religious festivals, but her feet are not allowed to touch the ground. Once the Kumari reaches puberty, another 3-5-year-old girl will take her place. If she is receiving visitors, we may be able to stop by for a blessing.Activity - Visit Swayambhunath Buddhist temple and Unesco World Heritage Site, the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in Kathmandu. Explore the structure and be sure to check out the Buddha's eyes painted on each side of the Stupa. The site is also known as the monkey temple, for the vast amount of creatures who call the complex home.Accommodation - KGH Patan
Day 3: Kathmandu/Panauti

We start from Sanga, a Bhramin community where a large Shiva statue gives a sign of Blessing. Continue through the Tamang community, home to the original Horse Warriors who migrated from tibet. Hike through a few more villages into Panauti town.Activity - Set up in 2013, the Panauti Community Homestay is ran by a group of women who started the initiative as a way of challenging the lack of opportunity often faced by women in rural areas. The project allows them to raise their social status and income while also providing an opportunity to share their culture and customs with travellers. By sending our groups to a homestay, G Adventures is increasing income for the community and assisting with small business opportunities in hospitality. Although simple, rooms are clean, comfortable and typical of the households in which you are staying.Accommodation - Panauti Community Homestay

I had a great time and I also think that the price is really good. The only thing it would change is the ',difficult', level of this trip I would say this was a 2/5 rather then a 3/5 .

Highly experienced and knowledgeable guide with great insights into local places. I enjoy doing small group travel

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip to Nepal, and I believe that the travel style offered by G Adventures allows me to explore the world and have fantastic experiences while doing so at a reasonable cost.

Well organized tours that often take you off the typical tourist path with highly experienced and knowledgeable CEOs

I had the best time!

The tour is well organized while still being flexible - and our tour guide, Akshay was so accommodating and informed, it really made the trip what it was
10/30/2023
As a solo female traveler, it was great to meet other solo female travelers. There was a good balance between independent time and also time with the guide. The tour allowed us to have a more authentic experience of Nepal, especially the homestay, and hearing more about the history of the country which is difficult to achieve otherwise. Akshay, our guide, was really attentive to our needs, made sure we felt safe and really went above and beyond to make sure we all had a fabulous time.

The roads were very bumpy but that's not the fault of the driver or tour
10/09/2023
It was great for solo travelers looking for people to connect with instead of traveling alone.

Puskar (our tour guide) was amazing! He was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about all the places we went. The group we were with were also amazing. The tour itself/itinerary was good. It was a good amount of time for what we did. I'd recommend this tour for anyone that is new to Nepal. It helped us feel comfortable in the country - so much so that we plan to come back but for more hiking
