Tip: Keep your arrival documents and visa information handy for immigration. Domestic flights (if booked) can be reconfirmed tonight.
Kathmandu Valley Pilgrimage — Pashupatinath & Boudhanath
Begin early with a spiritually charged visit to the UNESCO-listed Pashupatinath Temple — one of the most important Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. Observe morning rituals and, where permitted, attend the aarti. Continue to the imposing Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in South Asia and a vital center for Tibetan Buddhism. Spend time walking the circumambulation (kora) and visiting nearby monasteries.
In the afternoon explore Kathmandu Durbar Square (subject to opening times and restoration status) and other historical temples in the valley.
Special Note: Respect dress codes and silence in sanctified areas. Photography rules vary by shrine.
Patan & Bhaktapur — Cultural Heritage and Drive to Lumbini
Visit the ancient cities of Patan (Lalitpur) and Bhaktapur early in the day to see iconic pagoda temples, artisan courtyards, and traditional Newari architecture. Experience Patan Durbar Square's sacred sites and Bhaktapur's Nyatapola Temple.
After lunch, begin the scenic drive to Lumbini / Rupandehi (approx. 6–7 hours by private vehicle). Stop en route for refreshments and short visits. Arrive in Lumbini in the evening and check in to your guesthouse/hotel.
Tip: The drive offers countryside views; carry light snacks and a jacket for the evening.
Lumbini — Maya Devi Temple & Monastic Zone
Full day dedicated to the sacred grounds of Lumbini, the recognized birthplace of Lord Buddha. Begin at the Maya Devi Temple and the exact nativity site, then walk the expansive Monastic Zone to visit monasteries built by Buddhist communities from around the world. Explore the Lumbini Museum and the Ashoka Pillar, and visit the tranquil World Peace Pagoda.
Spend time in peaceful reflection and receive explanations from your guide about the historical and spiritual significance of each site.
Note: Maintain silence in meditation areas and follow monastery visiting protocols when entering monastic compounds.
Tilaurakot (Kapilvastu) or Optional Devdaha — Buddhist Heritage Excursion
Today choose between a day excursion to Tilaurakot (ancient Kapilvastu)—site associated with Siddhartha Gautama's early life—or visiting Devdaha, another important Buddhist heritage site linked to the Buddha's family. Both sites offer archaeological ruins, peaceful surroundings, and informative museum displays.
Return to Lumbini in the afternoon. Enjoy an evening stroll in the monastic gardens or attend a meditation session at a monastery (subject to availability).
Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes; some sites have uneven paths.
Return to Kathmandu & Departure
After breakfast, transfer to Bhairahawa / Siddharthanagar Airport for a short domestic flight to Kathmandu (or drive back by road if pre-arranged). On arrival in Kathmandu, connect to your international departure or enjoy an optional late shopping stop in Thamel before transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport.

Recent Nepal Reviews
Nepal Cabs and Rooms Both Delivered
We were a couple traveling to Nepal for the first time, and honestly I was nervous about the ground arrangements because I'd heard horror stories from friends. TourGrids completely changed that. Every cab was on time — driver already knew the pickup point, no last-minute confusion. The hotels they picked in Pokhara and Kathmandu were proper good, clean rooms, decent views, nothing felt like a downgrade. Our coordinator Priya had sorted all of this over WhatsApp before we even landed. No surprise charges at checkout, no awkward negotiations with drivers. It felt like someone had already done all the stressful parts for us before we arrived.
Nepal Transfers and Hotels Both Delivered Well
Travelled to Nepal with my wife last month and honestly the hotels TourGrids arranged were a proper step up from what I'd seen on my own research. Every property was clean, well-located, and exactly what was described — no surprises at check-in. The cab transfers between cities were equally well-organised. Driver was on time, vehicle was comfortable, and the routes were planned sensibly so we weren't wasting hours on bad roads. I'd spoken to the coordinator a few times over WhatsApp before booking and he was straightforward — no unnecessary upselling, no hidden charges at the end. The whole ground arrangement in Nepal just felt taken care of without us having to chase anyone.
Nepal Planned Exactly the Way We Wanted
My husband and I had been going back and forth on Nepal for months but couldn't figure out where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, one call changed everything. The coordinator listened to what we actually wanted — more mountains, fewer crowded tourist spots — and came back with an itinerary that felt personal. We tweaked a couple of things over WhatsApp and it was finalised within two days. Hotels were proper good, the cab timings were all coordinated, and there were no surprise charges at the end. Everything we discussed on call was reflected in what we actually experienced on the trip. Really appreciated how little we had to follow up.
Nepal Itinerary Built Around Our Actual Preferences
I was a little nervous handing over the full Nepal planning to someone I'd only spoken to on WhatsApp, but the TourGrids team genuinely put me at ease from the first call itself. I was travelling with my husband and we had a few specific requests — no rushed mornings, a mix of sightseeing and relaxed days, and mid-range hotels that were actually clean and comfortable. The coordinator listened properly and came back with an itinerary that reflected exactly what we'd discussed. No random filler days, no upselling on call. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time throughout, and the pricing was transparent from day one. Whole process felt surprisingly straightforward.
