Exploring Kirtipur, City of Gliry
Shaker was an excellent guide. Explained all in great detail. Went at our pace and did not rush. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for a wonderful review. Hope to see you in another tour in the future. Thank you again.

An interesting, informative tour to less-visited temples
It was a very pleasant day tour to some temples that are quite far away from the city center in Kathmandu and therefore are not visited by tourists (I did not see a single tourist on the whole day). In contrast to some other tour guides in Nepal, this tour guide provided a real service, that is, he shared a lot of interesting information on the temples and also cultural background. He also accustomed the tour to my needs. I guess, he extended the tour by showing a couple of more temples because otherwise we would finish too early.
Response from the operator: Thank for your nice comments. It means a lot to me. I will try my best to make better holiday to all my clients. And i hope we will see again in the future. Thank you again,

Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is Bungamati, Khokana and Kirtipur city of glory offered in?
+
