I was blown away by the richness and diversity of Kathmandu Valley, and Haven Holidays made it easy to experience it all in one day. Our guide, Jayaram was not only informative but also entertaining, making the tour even more enjoyable.

A Must-Do for History Buffs

As a history enthusiast, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Kathmandu Valley. Our Tour Guide from Haven Holidays was a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating stories and insights about each site. The tour was well-organized, and the transportation was comfortable. While it was a long day, it was definitely worth it. The intricate carvings at Bhaktapur Durbar Square and the peaceful atmosphere of Pashupatinath Temple were truly breathtaking.
