A Deep Dive Into Kathmandu’s Soul

The Kathmandu Valley Cultural Tour with Skyline Treks was a perfect introduction to Nepal’s history and heritage. Over several days we explored Durbar Squares in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan — each with its own unique vibe and architectural splendour. Our guide shared fascinating stories about temples, courtyards, and centuries-old traditions. The highlight for me was the evening aarti at Pashupatinath and the artistic wood carvings in Patan’s old town. Everything was well organised and paced so we enjoyed it without feeling rushed.
