We had a marvellous time in Kathmandu Valley albeit a very short trip. From the old world charm of Kathmandu itinerary 4 days to the beautiful corn fields and pines in the Nagargot – Dhulikhel trail, there are a lot of history, culture, nature and people to soak in. The trip is very inspiring and serves as a good introduction to our many trips to come. I would recommend Nepal Tours for future trips in Nepal again
