Kathmandu Valley Sightseeing
Today’s sightseeing itinerary encompasses the renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which are categorically classified as Stupas, Temples, and Palaces. The customization of this sightseeing experience can be tailored to align with your specific interests, with meticulous route planning being undertaken by our knowledgeable city guide from TMG.
Kathmandu Durbar Square: Situated a considerable distance from your current lodging, Kathmandu Durbar Square holds historical significance as a former ceremonial site and royal palace where the coronations of future kings took place. Today, it has transformed into a museum within a palace setting. During your visit, you will gain insight into the lifestyles of the royals and marvel at the architectural prowess displayed through its monuments, temples, and statues, which reflect the craftsmanship of Nepalese architects from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple): Be prepared for a slightly elevated location, as this ancient stupa, over 2,000 years old, is perched atop a hill. It stands as the most prominent among all Buddhist Stupas in Nepal and boasts a captivating representation of Lord Buddha on each of its sides. The base is adorned with stonework featuring the five Dhyani Buddhas – Vairocana, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, Amoghasiddhi, and Aksobhya, symbolizing Lord Buddha’s wisdom. Visitors flock to this site for a panoramic view of Kathmandu from its vantage point.
Pashupatinath: Pashupatinath, steeped in antiquity, is diligently maintained and renovated by Hindu Committees in Nepal. While there have been recent additions in and around the temple, its historical significance remains unchanged. Pashupatinath stands as the paramount temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located in close proximity to the heart of Kathmandu. Access to the temple’s main gate is restricted to Hindus, but as an observer, you can appreciate its architectural splendor from a distance. If fortune favors you, you may witness Hindu cremation rituals taking place.
Bouddhanath: Bouddhanath, another remarkable stupa, holds immense religious significance for Buddhists. Resembling Swayambhunath, it features a distinctive white dome. The site is shrouded in myth, with some claiming it houses the remains of Kasyapa Buddha (Buddha incarnation), while others attribute it to Lord Buddha himself. Encircling the stupa’s base are 108 small images of the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha, further enhancing its spiritual allure.

Frequently asked questions.
How much money should I bring with me?
The trip price we have mentioned is inclusive and includes transportation, accommodation, meals during the trek, and government taxes, including guide service and porter. For personal expenses, the money you should bring is USD 500, and you have to exchange it into Nepali currency in Kathmandu before trekking.
Will I be refunded if I don't finish the trek on time?
No, because we have to pay for the hotel, transportation company, guide, government, and porter. For some trips, we have to book air tickets. We have to book all of these in advance. That is the reason, why we do not refund.
Can I add extra days to my trekking trip?
Only if you are doing a private tour (private trek), you can add extra days. If you are trekking in a group, then this is not possible. Because in a private tour, you have chosen your date, and you can trek in the way you have decided, we mean to say, there will be you or your family or friends, no outsiders.
Who else is in my trekking group?
There will be other people in the group, but we do not tell you about their personal information, but of course, we can say the number of people in the group.
Are solo female trekkers safe?
Nepal is the safest trekking destination in the world because you will be with a trekking guide and a porter. Lodges are safe, and our guide always gives paramount importance to your safety.
What is the age limit for the trek?
There is no such age limit because we have had families who trekked with us with their kids like 9 years old as well as senior people aged 70.

If you are seriously affected by altitude mountain sickness, then you will be flown to Kathmandu for treatment.
What immunizations will I need?
Hepatitis A

Do you accommodate a vegetarian trekker?
We would like to recommend this diet rather than meat because in the mountainous regions there are no fridges to store meat.

Can I charge the mobile on the trek?
Yes, you can charge, and you have to pay $1 to $4 an hour for charging.

Fitness
You must be 100% physically fit, that means, you should not have acute health problem nor chronic health problem.
It is ok if I have never trekked in Nepal before
Most of the time, we have the first time trekkers, and they are doing good. So, you do not need to have any experience to do a trek, but we do recommend you jogging, swimming, and walking before coming to Nepal for it. Previous experience will be a plus point.
Altitude Mountain Sickness
It is a sickness caused due to the lack of oxygen at a higher altitude in the mountainous region, and one of the ways to overcome it is to drink plenty of water. The other is descending to a lower altitude, and the medicine you can take to fight against it is Diamox (acetazolamide).
I am a solo trekker, does the trek run?
Yes, the trek runs. We do not charge any extra money for a solo trekker.

Responsible Trekking
Tourism is the main source of income for the guides, porters, and hotel owners in Nepal, so we believe that the Himalayas should be protected not only for this generation but also for the future generation. Every trek that TMG runs focuses on taking care of the ecological aspects and works with the Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP).
