I have just returned from Annapurna Base Camp trek with Eve Holidays and I love the experience. Everything went smooth and their service was perfect. Food was great and accommodation was fine considering the fact that it was in remote mountains. Views in the Annapurna trek was wonderful with magical mountains, small villages and tea house lodges and Nepalese rural lifestyle. My guide and porter were very caring and they made sure all the time that i am safe and enjoying my trek. I would extremely recommend Eve Holidays as I found it beyond my expectation and it is operated by a single mom who employs women so that she can help them. I appreciate the small step taken by her towards helping other women like herself.

4. Private Full Day Bhaktapur and Patan Durbar Square Sightseeing from Kathmandu

Liberty Holidays

The Bhaktapur Durbar Square lies 13 km east of Kathmandu. While the complex consists of at least four distinct squares. Bhaktapur is the living representation of how the entire Kathmandu Valley would have looked like during the medieval periods. The city is celebrated for its glorious architecture; sky-high temples built in pagoda style - which is the stairway to the heaven, fine clay pottery, and massive royal courtyards dating back to the 12th century, where devotees, still, celebrate their pre-historic festivals by equal amount of gusto and passion. Patan is 5 km away from, Kathmandu, but, despite such proximity, its 'preserved' ancestral uniqueness distinguishes it as a different environment to experience in a short travel. Patan is a melting pot of two religions, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Patan is also known as Lalitpur, "City of Beauty", and its unique Durbar Squares, temples, alleys, cuisine, hospitality and religious tolerance justify the pre-historic status of the city.

Inclusions: All Private transfer, Hotel pick up and drop off service, Entrance fees of Bhaktapur, Patan Durbar square, Patan Museum and Golden temple, Guide fees
