Pashupatinath Temple
The ancient Hindu temple of Pashupatinath is one of the most important Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. ‘Pashupatinath’, means ‘protector of all living beings’. In the evening the atmosphere gets electrified with the chanting of sacred Vedic shlokas and hymns during evening ‘Arati’ (a sacred Hindu ritual where light from a flame is offered to the Gods). When the priests offer ‘Aarati’ the devotees are seen dancing in trance. Lord Pashupatinath, the patron deity of Pashupatinath Temple, is known for dancing the ‘Tandav’ a celestial dance.

Poon Hill and ABC trekking from Nov 26 to 9th Dec 24
A totally new & amazing experience for us foursome(3 Malaysians & a Singaporean), traveling during end of Nov & early Dec in Nepal. Stretching over 12 days ( Poon & ABC ).Meeting lots of trekkers from various nationalities. Warm hospitality from the local especially Naba ( owner of Third Rock Adventures) and our guide Jaya whom has more than 100x trekking experiences to ABC and other formidable and challenging treks in Nepal. Jaya is always very accommodating when we asked for taking photos. Even though the terrains are harsh and energy sapping, the the landscape is simply breathtaking. During this season, there is no rain, always sunny and the Annapurna massif is clear from clouds and look stunning.

Best nighttime photos
I had amazing time with my guide! There’s nothing better than to arrive and have a private introduction to these sites. The nighttime ceremony was absolutely amazing. My guy got me a special Seat as close as possible. Going at night is not to be missed. Fantastic photos!

Adventure Extraordinaire!
We are just completing an 18 day tour of Nepal and Bhutan with Third Rick Adventures. We have experienced a beautiful trip. Well planned and executed by a very reliable, knowledgeable and caring Third Rock staff, both in Nepal and Bhutan. The itinerary, airport support, visas, air and car travel, lodging and food ALL went without a hitch! The individualized and caring support unparalleled. I have traveled widely throughout the world, and this guided experience was superb. The Kailash Boutique Hotel, served as our base and was clean , comfortable and extremely accommodating, paying attention to small details and courtesy, this was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Third Rock Adventures and Naba, the principal Owner and Director…always accessible and helpful! Mt Everest Guide and porter, DJ and Rajs, Katmandu Guide and chofer Jaya and Luxman, Bhutan Gide and chofer, Karma and Kinsey were superb! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your kindnesses!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu?
+
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 Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu?
+
Around 3 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Evening Photography Tour of Kathmandu 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. 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.
