Most people living in Kathmandu believe in the Hindu and Buddhist Dharma. The valley divides into four cities, which were four small kingdoms. Even today, most parts of the valley enjoy its traditional way of life. Since the valley located in the route between India and China kingdoms enjoyed a very important and rich past, and the Baudhanath Stupa, Svyambhunath Stupa, and many other monuments are witnessing the ancient trade, where the Baudhanath Stupa is still famously called “Little Tibet”.
This trip is about visiting heritage sites and going beyond. Places like Nagarkot and Thankot have the best viewpoints for viewing high Himalayan peaks, and Kurintar is not too far from the valley with warm temperatures in almost all seasons, a great opportunity altogether for a perfect exploration.

HEALTH:
A visit to Nepal does not require special vaccination; however, we recommend consulting with the attending physician and stocking up on necessary drugs before you depart
Medical services in Nepal are limited in mountainous areas. If you wear glasses, it is better to have a spare pair.
WEATHER:
Weather conditions on the mountain are unpredictable. It might be sunny during the day and cold as well as windy at night, especially at high altitudes. Sudden rainstorms or snow flurries are always possibilities. Better be prepared!
PACKING:
Choosing the right clothing for your trip is very important. You always want to pack everything, but that could be a hassle. Keep in mind that in almost every mountain region in Nepal, the days are warm, and the nights are cool. Usually, the temperature drops during the night, but it is recommended to have full sleeves and long trousers. Nagarkot is situated on a higher elevation, and for that reason, it might be cold there while Kurintar is situated on about 100-150 meters above sea so mostly warm and humid. The basic principle of packing is comfort, not luxury. In Kathmandu, you can get any necessary gear at a very comfortable price.
But if you just enquire before you start packing things, we provide you with better advice depending on the present weather conditions. Do not pack unnecessary things like hairdryers, lots of and lots of cosmetics, and electronics, while a battery power bank (Backup) for your mobile phone or iPod is recommended.
EMERGENCY AND YOUR SUPPORT TEAM:
All our guides are well trained in first aid and can handle most of the basic illness that occurs at high altitude or in the jungle. Every group is equipped with a basic first aid kit, and every traveler must have full travel insurance before coming to Nepal. And should make available a copy of the policy at our office in Kathmandu. If an emergency occurs, we will evacuate you from the mountain to one of the internationally recognized hospitals/clinics in Kathmandu and contact your insurance company.
