★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 73 reviews · from $50Our pick

Ride through Kathmandu's markets at dusk, visit Durbar Square, and see temples, shrines, and nightlife with a local guide.

“This tour was a great way for me to get a feel for Kathmandu while I waited for my group to arrive. Our guide Nikita was knowledgeable and our rickshaw driver skilled at navigating uneven and busy streets. There was a great combination of moving through the hustle and bustle from the rickshaw and then experiencing stupas and holy sites on foot. I highly recommend this!”
