Free Tour Kathmandu is the first of its kind in the Kathmandu Valley. While other walking tours exist, this is the only one that provides a free glimpse of the highlights of Kathmandu, led and narrated by a dedicated tour guide with decades of experience. Winding through the heart of the old centre, the tour encompasses iconic temples, stupas, monasteries, palaces and local Newar architecture.
Departing from just outside the Garden of Dreams at 9:00 and 14:00 daily, the tour passes through southern Thamel via Kathesimbhu Stupa and Buddhist monasteries, then enters local streets towards Indra Chowk market. From there, the tour passes around Durbar Square and through a sleepy Newar neighbourhood towards the local cremation centre near the sacred Vishnumati River.
Crossing the river, the tour passes through Swoyambhunath suburb and finishes at the top of picturesque Monkey Temple. Your guide will either walk you back to Thamel or direct you to a bus or taxi.
