Three Ancient Kingdoms Full Day Tour in Kathmandu Valley Private Tour

Explore the three ancient kingdoms and its royal palaces of the Kathmandu Valley. Namely Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square and Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
The Kathmandu Valley, a melting pot of culture and history, is home to three ancient kingdoms that once stood as independent states ruled by the Malla kings from the 12th to the 18th centuries. These kingdoms—Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur—are not only steeped in history but also offer a plethora of touristic attractions that captivate visitors from around the world.

Kathmandu, the capital city, is known for its bustling streets and vibrant culture. The Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square in the heart of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing a stunning array of temples and palaces that reflect the grandeur of the kingdom’s past. The square is a testament to the city’s architectural prowess, with structures like the Kumari Ghar, home to the living goddess, and the towering Taleju Temple.

Patan, also known as Lalitpur, is renowned for its artisan community and exquisite craftsmanship. The Patan Durbar Square is a hub of traditional Nepalese architecture, with its intricately carved wooden windows and metalwork. The square is surrounded by a myriad of shops selling handmade crafts, perfect for those looking to take a piece of Nepalese artistry home. The Patan Museum within the square offers insights into the valley’s rich cultural heritage.

Bhaktapur, the ‘City of Devotees’, is perhaps the most preserved of the three kingdoms. The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a living museum, with its well-preserved palaces, courtyards, and temples, such as the Nyatapola Temple and the 55 Window Palace. The city is famous for its pottery and yogurt, known as ‘Juju Dhau’, which is a must-try for any visitor.

Each of these ancient cities presents a unique blend of history, art, and culture, making the Kathmandu Valley an unforgettable destination for tourists seeking to experience the essence of Nepal’s regal past
