On the second day, we will be embarking on a captivating full-day exploration of Kathmandu. The ancient city’s cultural treasures, the rich history and spirituality define this ancient city.

This day is designed to be a sensory odyssey, offering not only visual delights but also the resonant sounds, scents, and textures that encapsulate the cultural richness of Kathmandu. Each site visited is a chapter in the living history of this city, and your journey through them ensures a profound connection to Nepal’s spiritual and architectural heritage. Seven out of the ten UNESCO world heritage sites of Nepal are located in/around the Kathmandu Valley.

A guided tour is scheduled for the day. Your tour guide meets you at the hotel and we usually begin the sightseeing tour at 9 AM.

Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple)

Nestled atop a verdant hill, Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple, is a living testament to the spiritual harmony of Nepal. Ascend the stone staircases surrounded by playful monkeys, reaching the pinnacle where the ancient stupa stands. As you breathe in the incense-laden air, panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley unfold, showcasing a symphony of temples, pagodas, and bustling city life.

Kathmandu Durbar Square

Step into the historical heart of Kathmandu as you explore the grandeur of Kathmandu Durbar Square. Marvel at the intricate architecture of ancient palaces, courtyards, and temples that echo with tales of the Malla kings. The living museum within the square unfolds stories of bygone eras, with intricately carved wooden structures and the Kumari Ghar, the residence of the Living Goddess Kumari.

Baudhanath

Enter the serene enclave of Baudhanath, a colossal stupa that stands as a spiritual beacon for Tibetan Buddhists. The air is filled with the rhythmic chants of Buddhist prayers as pilgrims circumambulate the stupa, spinning prayer wheels adorned with colorful flags. The captivating ambiance, coupled with the watchful eyes of the Buddha, makes Baudhanath a sanctuary of tranquility.

Return flight to Syangboche (3780m / 12402ft) (Hotel Everest View) and Breakfast:

Our next destination is Syangboche, situated just above Namche. With the town of Namche below and the towering peaks of Kongde, Thamserku, and Ama Dablam in close proximity, the view from here is nothing short of spectacular.

Excellent all round Completed the three peaks pass with access Nepal. Hiked for 15 days straight. Found a couple of day’s challenging. The challenge made the adventure even more special. Found access Nepal to be a great company. Everything was organised and constant communication between their office and our designated go between. Our guide Subodh was fantastic. Provided plenty information on cultural landmarks along the walk and of Nepal itself. He encouraged us to go at our own pace and was flexible with the path to make some days easier and catch up on other days. We had 3 sherpas Netra, yubaraj and Dipesh. These guys are beasts and well deserve a generous tip. All in all the trip was fantastic and the price for the trip was on the low side compared to other tour companies and they are a local company that rely on word of mouth. Would book them in again when going back to Nepal. David (Australia)

Guaranteed support and unique experience with Access I did the Three Passes Trekking with Access and I can assure you that it was the best experience of my life. Sadhana gave me all the support a few weeks before the trip, organized the itinerary, a guide gave me all the tips before the trip, clothes, health, itinerary, tips and everything else. In addition to everything, Lakpa was my guide, I don't know what would have become of me without him, he recognized the moments when I was very tired, he arranged all my organization for a peaceful stay in the lodges and he gave me a lot of support. Anyway, I recommend Access with my eyes closed, I want and will go back to Nepal in the near future and do other trekkings. It was my life's dream come true!

Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime! This is our second time going with Access Nepal, this time for our honeymoon, and it was just as fantastic the second time around. It's an absolutely lovely company that will handle your trip as professionally as possible, from arriving at the airport to leaving again. They listen to your needs and wishes, and customize the trip accordingly. We are always incredibly well taken care of by one of the managers, Sadhana, who is a dear friend by now, who always does anything she can to make the trip the absolute best it can be. And we couldn't have asked for better company or a more trustworthy guide than our guide Giri. The company has very high standards as to how they treat and compensate their staff, and its really visible in the content and pride shown by all of their staff members. As for the treks they offer, we've done both the Everest three high passes and the Manaslu circuit now, and both have been absolutely mind-blowing. There really is no other place in the world like the Himalayas. Every single part; the Jeep ride into the areas, the high roads, the mountain sides, the mountains following your every step; everything is just absolutely amazing. It's too amazing to describe in words or pictures. I can't tell you anything but to GO!!! It's well, well, well worth the time and cost!!

3 passes with Accsess Nepal I had one of the best experiences of my life with Accsess Nepal, in the mountains of Nepal. To go to the Everest Base Camp is a dream of many. However, I wanted a little bit more, so I chose the "Everest 3 High Passes - 19 days" trek. Incredible. The sights and people of this wonderful place will remain etched in my memory forever. The company provided all the administrative support for my arrival in Kathmandu, through Sadhana. She was always very prompt with my various questions and ensured a perfect organization for my comfort and safety. And, finally, Devman. He was our guide during the trek. A first-rate professional. Very concerned about the safety of the group. Knowledgeable about the mountain and the fantastic Nepalese culture. He ensured that everyone individually enjoyed the best possible experience on this spectacular trek. I really recomend this company and if you can, choose Devman as your guide. Enjoy the mountain!

It was worth waiting so many years I did the Everest Base Camping trek with this agency and it was much better than I expected. I made the trip alone and received all the support from Sadhana and had the most partner guide along with the porter. I felt safe and respected the entire time. We form a family and enjoy every day with great joy. This trip will stay forever in my memory and heart. Very grateful to the entire Access Nepal family, especially my guide Sobodh for all his care and teachings.

Grand tour of Nepal Our whole trip to Nepal was excellent from the tailor made itinerary organized by Pratap to the internal transfers by car. The whole trip was professionally organized after several discussions until it was exactly as we wanted and the tour company did not fail us. Our guide Bimal was very protective and very knowledgeable and the driver Laxman was safe and very experienced. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family as we got the exact trip that we wanted and expected. The hotels selected were fantastic throughout. If we were to do this trip again we would fly internally rather than drive as the roads were not that great. Thankyou Pratap for a memorable trip. Girish and Leena Bhome (UK)
