Beyond the Tourist Trail — Real Kathmandu Culture

The Skyline Treks cultural tour showed me parts of Kathmandu Valley I wouldn’t have found on my own. Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Sites with a guide who explained art, religion, and history made all the difference. The highlight was the serene Buddhist chants at Boudhanath Stupa and the exquisite craftsmanship in Patan’s artisan quarters. Dining on Newari cuisine in an old city courtyard capped off the cultural immersion perfectly.
