Kathmandu is Nepal's capital and largest city. The only international airport in Nepal, Tribhuvan International Airport, is in Kathmandu. So, all travelers to Nepal have to land in Kathmandu and take the return flight home from Kathmandu.

If you have a few hours left in Kathmandu, the best option is to take a half-day tour to visit the Kathmandu Durbar Squire. Kathmandu Durbar Square is the core of old Kathmandu city in Basantapur. It always inspires first-time guests with its complicated wood carvings and rich history. Encompassed by concrete buildings, the complex is a desert spring in a quick-creating, chaotic modern city.
If you are looking for a half-day tour in Kathmandu, the tour to visit the Bouddhanath Stupa is the best for you. The primary stupa at Boudhanath was fabricated after 600 AD when the Tibetan ruler Songtsen Gampo converted to Buddhism. In terms of elegance and virtue of line, no other stupa in Nepal approaches Boudhanath.
A half-day tour of the Pashupatinath Temple is perfect for learning about Kathmandu's most significant Hindu temple. Pashupatinath Temple is devoted to Lord Shiva and is one of the most religious places in Asia for devotees
It was built in the fifth century and later renovated by Malla Kings. Moreover, the landmark is said to have existed from the earliest starting point, when a Shiva lingam was found here a thousand years ago.
Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the world's greatest Buddhist Stupas. The all-seeing eyes of Lord Buddha are painted on the four sides of the spire bases. The Swayambhunath Stupa is a world heritage site in Kathmandu. It is worth visiting on your half-day tour of the city. A half-day tour of Swayambhunath Stupa is perfect for learning about it.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a piece of the ancient Newari city of Bhaktapur (Bhadgaon or Khwopa - Newar ख्वपलायकू) best known for its attractions. The square contains a regal royal residence that became the dominant focus as one of three imperial capitals in the Kathmandu Valley during the fifteenth century.
Today, Bhaktapur Durbar Square is one of the four fundamental attractions inside the old city known as "Bhaktapur." During the Malla regime, Durbar Square procured most of its beautiful structures and conspicuousness as an extraordinary city in The Kathmandu Valley. It earned it the epithet "City of Lovers."
Patan Durbar Square is the most staggering example of Nepalese engineering in an urban context. Its initial history remains undocumented. According to a few chronicles, the Thakuri dynasty built the palaces and reformed the local areas; however, concrete evidence is needed.
Right in the middle of bustling downtown Mangal Bazar stands the famous royal residence of the Malla king known as Maningal Rajprasad, of the royal residence of Maningal, likely built during the Lichchhavi period (start of the first century to the ninth century).
