Bagmati Province

Sherpa Family Owned WHERE NEPAL BEGINS

Seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One Valley. Most Visitors See None of Them Properly.

Most guests spend two nights in Kathmandu and think they've experienced Bagmati Province. They've seen a fraction of it. The valley holds seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan, and the Kathmandu Durbar Square each with its own distinct character, its own history, its own time of day when it's best seen. North of the valley, Langtang offers high Himalayan trekking without the crowds of Everest or Annapurna. Gosaikunda's sacred lakes draw pilgrims for reasons that go back centuries. We were born and raised in this valley. When we show it to you, we show you what it actually is, not what a two-night stopover allows.

Things Guests Ask Before Booking

Real questions about Kathmandu's home province, answered by locals.
  • The Kathmandu Valley's ancient cities and the Langtang Himal: seven UNESCO heritage zones within an hour of each other, and alpine valleys within a day's drive of the capital.

  • Closer than anywhere else in Nepal. The Langtang trailhead is a day's drive from the city, with no internal flight needed, which makes it ideal when your time is limited.

  • Yes, the national park entry and trekking registration, and we arrange both before you arrive. Nothing is left for you to queue for.

  • Autumn and spring for the mountains, and the valley's culture is superb year round. Winter mornings in Kathmandu are some of the clearest of the year.

  • Moderate. Days are steady rather than extreme, with an optional high viewpoint day for wide Himalayan views. It is one of the best first treks in Nepal.

  • Naturally. Heritage days in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur pair with a Langtang or Rolwaling trek in a single itinerary, and we plan the balance around you.
