Bagmati Province
Seven UNESCO Monument Zones in One Valley
Many guests spend two nights in Kathmandu and see only a small part of Bagmati Province. The valley holds seven UNESCO-listed monument zones: Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan and Kathmandu Durbar Square, each with its own history and its own best time of day to visit. North of the valley, Langtang offers high Himalayan trekking with fewer crowds than Everest or Annapurna, and pilgrims have walked to Gosaikunda's sacred lakes for centuries. We were born and raised in this valley and are glad to show you more of it than 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.
-
Close. The Langtang trailhead is a day's drive from the city, with no internal flight needed, which makes it a good choice 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 wait in line 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.
