About Kathmandu Tourism

Mountain Flight in Kathmandu:

This experience on the Kathmandu trip is something one can hardly ever have elsewhere. Nepal is the home to eight of the top ten tallest peaks of the world. From February to April and again from October to November, these peaks can be seen as clear as daylight, from one majestic range after another, set against the azure blue sky. Mountain flight allows tourists to explore these peaks from the closest proximity possible without having to climb them. From Kathmandu, the flight trips will go around viewpoints of Manaslu, Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himal and several other ranges, and even a glimpse of Everest in the distance.

Adventure Sports in Kathmandu:

The high altitudes and pristine climate of Kathmandu city allowed the growth of several adventure activities here. Bungee jumping over the ferocious mountain rivers and rock climbing with proper training are there in Kathmandu all year long. Mountain biking, trekking, paragliding, and white-water rafting are the other adrenaline-pumping, spine-chilling activities that one with a strong heart can indulge in. Trekking is probably the most popular one, and the trails around Kathmandu valley are quite unparalleled in their beauty. While most people immediately think of Everest as the only option from Kathmandu, it is not true. The Annapurna Circuit and Manaslu treks are quite challenging and nerve-testing treks, so are the ones around Dhaulagiri and French Pass.

Major attractions of Kathmandu:

Boudhanath Stupa: It is one of the most sacred sites in Kathmandu and highly revered by Tibetan Buddhists.

Swayambhu Temple: Located on a hilltop in the west of Kathmandu, this is the oldest and most sacred Hindu religious sites in Nepal. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to be an awakened deity by Hindu believers.

Pashupatinath Temple:  Yet another Shiva temple, this shrine is located on the banks of Bagmati River. This too is revered by the Hindus for its spiritual significance.

Durbar Square: This is the main center in the city, located in front of the old royal palace of Nepal.  Tourists come here for spending an evening of strolling, shopping, and people-watching.

Garden of Dreams: A well-curated, pristine neo-classical garden located in Kaiser Mahal, this place is one of utmost beauty and rich architecture in Kathmandu.

Festivals in Kathmandu:

Get on a celebration mode on an excursion to Kathmandu while cherishing some amazing moments during its many festivals. With its list of festivals like: Gai Jatra, Indra Jatra, Dashain, Mani Rimdu and more, Nepal tourism offers an enticing sojourn to its visitors.

Gai Jatra:

A carnival of singing, dancing, and laughter, this festival usually falls in July or August.. It is celebrated to commemorate the death of loved ones. In this festival, family members of the deceased parade on the streets while getting dressed as cows.

Indra Jatra:

Being celebrated in the month of September, this eight-day long festival is one of the most revered and exciting festivals of the Newar community. As hundreds of people gather at the Palace Square for the pole-raising ceremony, the chariot of Kumari can be witnessed while it gets taken out through the streets of Kathmandu.

Besides sightseeing and festivals, if someone who wants to make the best of their Kathmandu travel, various casino places are also suggested while on a tour to this amazing destination. The casino is a traditional business in Kathmandu and is part of the city’s urban culture. For shopping, Thamel in Kathmandu is all one needs to visit. From top to bottom, the place is lined up with a variety of shops during the day and iconic bars, making Kathmandu nightlife a dazzling one.

Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers

If you are wondering how to reach Kathmandu by air, then the best way is to board a flight from India. Tribhuvan International Airport of Kathmandu

, located only 6 km from the city, is the country's busiest and most popular airport. It is well-connected with multiple Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Pune, Bangalore and more, and covers a distance of 800 kms in around 1 hour and 30 minutes. The international terminal connects Kathmandu and Nepal with around 30 European and Asian cities. Air India and Jet Airways primarily operate the best India to Kathmandu flights.

To go from India to Kathmandu via train, one must go through the Delhi-UP route. The nearest railway station to Kathmandu is Gorakhpur in UP, which

can be easily reached from Delhi. There is no direct train from India to Kathmandu, Nepal. From Gorakhpur, the rest of the commute has to be made via road. There are local buses or jeeps to take passengers to the border at Sunauli in 3 hours, and then across the border from Bhairawa, there are overnight buses to Kathmandu.

If you are wondering how to reach Kathmandu by road, then several roadway connections exist between India and Kathmandu, and residents of both coun

tries quite extensively use them. The best way to reach Kathmandu from India is the Sunaili border crossing, which is accessible from Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh and is the busiest India-Nepal border. Another way to reach Kathmandu is via Raxaul crossing near Patna in Bihar. This route is also quite famous among travellers. Furthermore, direct bus services from Delhi, Varanasi or Raxaul to Kathmandu take 7-10 hours to reach Kathmandu, depending on the starting location. For people living in the east–West Bengal, Sikkim and north-eastern states of India, the Panitanki border is the best option. There are Kathmandu bus services, jeeps and hired cars from Siliguri in WB and Gangtok in Sikkim. The journey takes around 14-16 hours.

Kaushal's 7 days trip to kathmandu

MD Adventure went above and beyond in making my parents' trip to Nepal an unforgettable experience. Both of them are senior citizens, and we were a bit concerned about their comfort and safety, but everything was handled so wonderfully. Miss Sabuu’s professionalism and kindness stood out from the start. She treated my parents like her own family, providing them with constant support, answering every question, and ensuring that they had everything they needed. Her warm and caring nature made the trip extra special. The drivers were extremely reliable, always arriving on time and ensuring a smooth, safe ride throughout their journey. The hotels chosen were excellent, offering a perfect mix of comfort and local charm. My parents felt truly pampered after a long day of sightseeing. The itinerary was spot-on—well-organized and thoughtful. It allowed them to explore all the key sites without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Thanks to MD Adventure, my parents enjoyed a perfectly balanced trip of culture, relaxation, and adventure. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Our trip to Nepal with MD Adventures was incredibly smooth, thanks to Sabuu. She was always responsive, answering questions at any time and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Her warm welcome at the airport, along with a thoughtful gift, made us feel at ease right away. Sabuu also provided a clear and well-paced itinerary, ensuring a relaxed and peaceful experience with no rush. As requested, the itinerary had plenty of time for rest and enjoyment.
