One-Day Itinerary for Kathmandu Valley
If you’re planning to explore the highlights of Kathmandu Valley in a single day, the easiest and most convenient option is to hire a private cab for the day. A full-day cab service typically costs around NPR 5,000 to 6,000. For a comfortable ride, consider choosing an air-conditioned vehicle or an electric vehicle (EV) taxi.
Morning: Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Start your day with a visit to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in Newari culture, art, and architecture. Entry fees for foreign tourists are NPR 1,800, while visitors from SAARC countries enjoy a discounted rate. Don’t miss key attractions like the Nyatapola Temple, Pottery Square, and the beautifully preserved palace area.
Midday: Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur)
Next, head towards Kathmandu Durbar Square, also known as Basantapur. This historic area is full of temples, courtyards, and palaces, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the Malla kings and traditional Nepali architecture.
Afternoon: Chandragiri Hill
Afterward, drive to Chandragiri Hills. Your taxi can drop you at the base station of the cable car. For foreigners (excluding Chinese and SAARC nationals), a round-trip cable car ticket costs approximately USD 24. The hill stands at around 2,500 meters and offers a panoramic view of the Kathmandu Valley and the Himalayan range on clear days.
Evening: Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple)
Wrap up your day with a visit to Swayambhunath Stupa, popularly known as the Monkey Temple. Located atop a hill, it offers stunning sunset views of the valley and is a sacred pilgrimage site for both Buddhists and Hindus. #kathmandu #kathmandu #nepal #localguides

Manakamana Temple
Everyone believes that this temple is the place where we wished something that will be fulfilled. Mana means our soul and Kamana means wishes so the meaning of Manakamana is wishes of our soul. So that people believe that the goddess Bhagawati has the power to grand our wishes because Bhagawati is the core god of this temple.
People they sell the name of the Manakamana when they sell Orange. The seller used to say that this orange is came from Manakamana or this orange is Manakamana’s orange. Also naturally this place is very attractive because located in the middle of Kathmandu and Pokhara. And on the top of the hill with the vistas of the majestic mountains.
