Itinerary

Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. Clear immigration and baggage, meet our representative and transfer to your hotel in Kathmandu. The valley capital, where seven UNESCO monument zones stand within an hour of each other and the old city has not stopped being a working one. The rest of the day is free to settle in. Overnight in Kathmandu.

The birthplace of the Buddha, a UNESCO garden of monastic zones built by the Buddhist nations of the world. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, the Maya Devi temple and the Ashoka pillar. Overnight in Lumbini.
