4 Days Kathmandu Tour Package - Cost, Itinerary 2025

1. Take a Pottery Class in Bhaktapur

You will no longer just window shop at Bhaktapur Durbar Square but have an interactive pottery encounter at Pottery Square. Learn an ancient potter's craft practised by local artisans.  

You'll mould clay into beautiful pots and take home a personalized souvenir. This is a good leisure activity that will teach you about Nepali culture.  

2. Experience a Traditional Newari Feast with a Local Family  

Instead of eating out at a typical restaurant, schedule a homemade Newari dinner at a house. Savour local cuisine, including katamari (Newari pizza), shati (chickpea stew), and juju dhau (king curd).  

This activity provides an experience of local culture, food processing, hospitality, etc.  

3. Attend a Butter Lamp Lighting Ceremony at Boudhanath Stupa 

For most visitors, the circuit of the Boudhanath Stupa is the only part of the landscape they see. While most will walk the circuit, only a handful will participate in the rite of requesting butter lamps.  

Bulbs of bright butter lamps are placed amid the local Buddhist community as a sign of peace and learning. Spiritually, it is an event that alters your perspective and makes your life more meaningful while carrying the experience of being connected.  

4. Learn Thanka Painting from a Master Artist  

Thanka painting is a religious approach to visualization of Buddhist imagery/the Buddha's meditation (e.g., the mandalas) of visualization. Do this difficult trade at a Thanka painting school for an hour or two.  

The intensive experience trains endurance, precision, and the aesthetic aspect of painting and drawing.  

5. Try Local Street Food on a Hidden Food Tour Leaders  

Street food is both a tipple down the restaurant aisle, which is luxurious to the ostentatious in the megalopolis, but also an uncovering of the city's hidden ethnic neighbourhoods inhabited by a native person who is a storyteller.  

For the pleasure of unusual food, especially sel roti (rice ball), pani puri, and chatpate (sour street food). Wander into secret courtyards where people eat and discover the best of Kathmandu in the food vendor's street market.  

6. Meditate with Monks at Kopan Monastery  

Escape the city's noise by heading up to Copan Monastery (a Tibetan Buddhist temple) on a hill. In a prospective study on lead exposure scare, get to know Tibetan Buddhism. 

Due to the quietness and beautiful scenery, it can be a unique spiritual contemplation.  

7. Cycle Through Rural Villages Around the Valley

Leave the insanity of the Kathmandu Street scene and take a bike ride into the countryside to "see" Bungamati and Khokana.  

However, it does not account for the whole picture of rural Nepalese people based on the appreciation of the glorious village, the historical culture, the beautiful meadow and the beautiful houses.  

Kathmandu is a safe country to visit, and tens of thousands of tourists go there every year without being hassled. The locals are warm, hospitable, and welcoming toward visitors. However, as in any urban sprawl, prudence and reasonable precautions must be made.  

Small crimes such as pickpocketing occur, and unfortunately, in areas like Thamel or local shops, care must be taken not to leave anything behind unattended.  

It is safe to walk in the town during the 4 Days Kathmandu Tour during the day, but do not venture into the dark or deserted areas at night; always loiter in well-lighted bright streets with many people walking around.  

Reliable taxis or advance trips are recommended in the context of late-day travel. Health and environmental issues also need to be considered, as air quality in Kathmandu Valley is often degraded, especially in the dry season.  

Wearing a mask is likely to reduce dust and ambient pollutant exposure levels. Tap water is contaminated and should not be drunk, so everybody should drink bottled or filtered water.  

Visitors cannot be considered a potential threat to Kathmandu's arts, history, and lifeblood if assessed solely based on a thoughtful set of requirements.
