1.Pick 2-Wonders of Kathmandu: A 3-Hour Heritage Hop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 3 hours Our pick

Start in Thamel with a private vehicle and guide, then choose two major Kathmandu heritage sites. Guides such as Nilakantha Acharya and Prakash explain temples, rituals, and Newari design at your pace. Pick the Kumari and Monkey Temple, Pashupatinath and Boudhanath, Patan and Kathmandu, or Bhaktapur.

“We really enjoyed our tour to Pashupathi Temple and Bouddanath Stupa with Nilakantha and Hari! We were very fortunate to come to the Pashupanathi temple on a festival day and Nilantha explained to us all the rituals, symbols and stuff going on in the temple. Before the tour we got all needed information, so the communication was also great. I really recommend Cordial Trek for the tour organization”

2.Everest Base Camp: 3 Hour Helicopter Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 17 reviews · 3 hours · from $1,375Best value

Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and over Everest Base Camp in a chartered helicopter, then stop for up to 45 minutes at Everest View Hotel. Nabin Pandey and the Nepal Social Treks team handle airport support, while weather may alter the route or timing.

“Once in a lifetime trip. It was breathtakingly beautiful. I would recommend this for people that don’t have the time to do the trek up, a cheat to see one of the most amazing mountain ranges! Nabin Pandey was excellent at making sure I was up to date and that I understood the process. Very seamless - excellent tour!”
