Soul Himalaya Treks & Tours Nepal

Highlights

Kathmandu Valley, often known as the “Valley of Temples”, is one of the most fascinating places that you will ever come across. Apart from being the home of the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, it is also comprised of two other important metropolitans of Nepal, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur.

The brilliance of the valley is already a well-known fact among millions of people around the world. Known for the ancient architectural marvels, centuries-old monasteries, mesmerizing Newar culture, mouth-water cuisines, breathtaking arts, and religion, Kathmandu Valley is a hotspot for hundreds of activities.

Another famous fact about the valley is that it is also the place with the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the entire world. For such a small size, Kathmandu Valley alone has a total of seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It also houses the only International Airport in the country and is also the hotspot for finance, economy, and technology.

With all the urbanization and western influence going around, Kathmandu Valley has never lost its authenticity and is still the ancient landmark that it has always been. Soul Himalaya Treks & Tours always takes pride in being able to provide the best tour experience to our wonderful clients in the magnificent Kathmandu Valley.
