Kathmandu Heritage Tour & The Terrace Resort (Hilltop) Luxury Stay - 4 Days

Experience Kathmandu Valley in indulgent style with a 4 Days Luxury Nepal tour that pairs world-class hospitality, curated cultural encounters, and seamless VIP service. This premium escape centres on the valley’s crown jewels — Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square with the Kumari, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa and the sacred Pashupatinath Temple — all presented with private transfers, an expert private guide and stays at two of Nepal’s most coveted addresses: Dwarika’s Hotel and The Terraces Resort & Spa.

Begin each day with the comfort of five-star luxury: Dwarika’s Hotel, a boutique sanctuary known for its masterful Newari architecture and curated antiques, offers heritage suites that feel like a living museum blended with modern comfort — an ideal base for a luxury Kathmandu sightseeing experience.

Visit Boudhanath Stupa, the largest Tibetan Buddhist stupa outside Tibet, to witness circumambulating pilgrims, fluttering prayer flags, and a timeless atmosphere of devotion.

Kathmandu Durbar Square reveals royal palaces, intricate wooden carvings and the famed Kumari — the living goddess whose residence at Kumari Ghar draws reverent crowds and curious travellers alike. Respectful viewing of the Kumari is a memorable cultural moment on any luxury Nepal tour, blending living tradition with historical grandeur. Patan Durbar Square and Bhaktapur Durbar Square extend the story: each plaza showcases centuries of Newar craftsmanship, ornate temples, and museum-quality architecture that reward slow, guided exploration.

Pashupatinath Temple introduces the Hindu side of Kathmandu’s spiritual tapestry. As one of South Asia’s most important Shiva shrines, the riverside ghats and temple complex offer powerful rituals and a profound insight into Nepali religious life — an evocative component of any spiritual or cultural tour of Nepal.

This 4-day luxury Tour offering is designed for travellers who want private, immersive cultural experiences without compromising on comfort. VIP airport transfers, chauffeured vehicles, a knowledgeable local guide fluent in English (and other languages on request), priority entry to major sites where possible, and curated dining — from authentic Nepali feasts to refined international cuisine at Dwarika’s and The Terraces — ensure every moment is effortless and unforgettable.
