Official expedition activities begin with a fun day of exploring historic Kathmandu, visiting iconic sites like the Monkey Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Bakhtapur. Meals will be provided throughout the day, and we will kick off our expedition experience with an orientation dinner at the Hotel Mulberry where we will introduce the CHOICE team and go over trip details.
This bustling capital of Nepal, part of a regional UNESCO World Heritage Site, dates back to ancient times when first settled along the trade route to Tibet (approx. 400 AD). The cosmopolitan culture of Kathmandu radiates a unique spirit of Hindu and Buddhism evident in surrounding temples and monuments. A rich history of wars and dynasties strengthens the mystical charm that allures travelers here.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided.
