MORE INFORMATION

Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:

  • By joining this tour you support the preservation of cultural heritage through  entrance fees to Kathmandu Durbar Square
  • Modern motorbikes and cars have primarily substituted rickshaws in Kathmandu, but with this tour, rickshaws are hired directly from the drivers, providing them with much-needed business and financial support. 
  • As the sun sets, discover the myriad sights, sounds, and aromas of nighttime Kathmandu on an enchanting evening rickshaw ride through the city.

    Begin your adventure in the tourist heart of the city, Thamel. Sit back and unwind as your cycle rickshaw expertly navigates the buzzing backstreets where the streets here are lined with shops selling everything from pastries to pashminas. Your rickshaw seat provides the perfect vantage point for some window shopping. Soak up the hive of activity as you zip through this popular part of town.

    Hop off the rickshaw for a visit to Sigal, a tranquil oasis with a tranquil Buddhist shrine, just a few steps inside an alley.

    Leaving Thamel behind, make your way towards Durbar Square while you keep an eye out for bustling local markets like Asan, the oldest market square in Kathmandu, known for its vibrant vegetable and spice market overlooked by Annapurna Temple.

    Along the way awaits an Urban adventure filled with age-old temples, palaces, and shrines, Durbar Square is bound to enchant you.

    Park yourself in one of the temple squares to watch the world go by! Witness locals sipping hot chai, devotees deep in prayer, and pigeons fluttering as the locals go about their daily chores - a truly special experience!

    After soaking in the sights and sounds of this magical place, climb back onto your 'street helicopter' (cycle rickshaw) for the return ride to Thamel.

    By the end of the tour, you'll agree that exploring Kathmandu's backstreets and laneways by rickshaw is one of the best ways to discover the city's authentic charm. Come and be entranced!
