This four days Kathmandu Shopping Tour is not only for shopping. They take care of you from your arrival to departure. Kathmandu shopping tour includes you the Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Basantapur (Kathmandu Durbar Square) and Monkey Temple as they promise on their Kathmandu Shopping Tour Itinerary. After I finish My Kathmandu Shopping Tour, I extend to Pokhara for shopping, Paragliding, Boating, Sunrise and close Himalayas View. Their price is a little bit higher compared to other company, but their service makes worthy of every single penny for this shopping tour in Kathmandu. They managed us an excellent English-speaking tour guide, he took us all places and explain us each and everything in fluently. At last, we would like to thank Mr. Apar from Trekking Trail Nepal, who managed our Shopping Trip in Pokhara and Kathmandu as per our needs.
