Itinerary
- Day 1
Arrival in Kathmandu
You'll arrive at Kathmandu airport and get transferred to your hotel, passing Pashupatinath Temple on the way. The hotel sits in a residential neighborhood, so there's a real feel for how locals live here. Spend the afternoon however you like - relax, head up to the rooftop for views, or grab some fresh organic Nepalese coffee at the hotel cafe. Nothing too rushed on this first day.
