    Mr Bishnu Bhattarai was...

    Mr Bishnu Bhattarai was very responsible and informative. He provided detailed information about each tourist attraction. His rich information allows me to have a better understanding of Nepalese culture. The tour company, Pigeon Travel And Tours, is also very organized. The staff sent me all the necessary information one day before the tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank You so much for the review.

    Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple?

    +

    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 Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple 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 is included in Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; and Transport by private vehicle. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple offered in?

    Is Private Tour of Kirtipur, Chobhar and Dakchhinkali Temple wheelchair or stroller accessible?
