Kathmandu Heritage Tour
To fully enjoy the walking tour, it's essential to stay hydrated and bring a water bottle with you. When visiting Kathmandu Durbar Square, be respectful of the cultural heritage and avoid touching or climbing on the ancient structures. Your guide will provide information on the history and significance of each landmark, so be sure to listen attentively and ask questions if anything is unclear. At Swayambhunath Temple, be prepared for some physical exertion as the climb up the steep staircase can be challenging, especially in hot weather. It's also worth noting that the temple is considered a sacred site, so dress modestly. Finally, remember that the tour is an opportunity to connect with the local community and experience their way of life. Embrace the differences and try to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of Kathmandu. By the end of the tour, you'll have a deeper appreciation for the city's rich history and vibrant culture.
