⁠Kirtipur Day Tour Overview

The Kirtipur Day Tour is an exciting voyage of discovery into one of the most historical and culturally rich towns in Nepal.

The tour starts with a comfortable drive from your hotel to Kirtipur, where iconic landmarks such as Chilamcho Stupa-a Buddhist monument encompassed by traditional Newari homes that reflect the town's authentic charm-awaits your arrival.

The Bagh Bhairab Temple follows; it is dedicated to the Hindu god Bhairav and offers intricate statues while providing a breathtaking view of the valley from its vantage point.

At the top of Kirtipur, the Uma Maheshwar Temple sits, offering fantastic views over the Kathmandu Valley, which is great to take in with the spiritual atmosphere.

From the fanatic of architecture to the history buff to the traveler of cultural insight, something memorable is in store for everybody on this tour. 


Best time for the Kirtipur Day Tour

It so happens that the Kirtipur Day Tour can take place at any time of the year, as Nepal is generally considered moderate in terms of temperature, and Kirtipur is closer to Kathmandu.

However, the spring and autumn seasons are considered the best times for the tour. During these time periods, the skies will be clear, the weather will be pleasant, and the Kathmandu Valley looks most picturesque from certain landmarks such as Uma Maheshwar Temple.

Spring is a time of flower blooms, and this beautifies the environment; autumn features cool air and is one of the best times for photo shoots.

If you hate crowds, then winter is the best option-which falls in December, January, and February-and the weather is pretty cool.

If you wish, the monsoon can also be considered, which starts from June, going onto August, but the rain may come any time and the pathways slip, which affects the facility a bit.


Kirtipur Day Tour difficulty level

Kirtipur Day Tour is an easy and low-difficulty day trip that can be done by all levels of travelers. It has a fair amount of walking to view the historical sites, but it does not contain any hard or strenuous activities or any difficult terrain.

The primary attractions, such as Chilamcho Stupa, Bagh Bhairab Temple, and Uma Maheshwar Temple, are easily accessible, and it only requires walking uphill to reach the temples for panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley.

The whole tour has been planned in a leisurely manner with ample rest time and time for viewing the surrounding area, making it ideal for individuals and families who want a cultural exposure without necessarily undertaking any physical exercise.
